Putting it back up. Too busy to finish. It's not registered right now because I was still working on it and I don't like to drive projects. Besides, I have other rides I can drive. If the buyer wanted to, it could probably be driven home, within a couple hundred miles without any issues. If you want more pics, send me a PM with an email and I can share videos and pictures on my Google Drive.
86 FJ60 293K miles. Spring under lift around 3" with shackle reversal, on almost new 33" Goodyear Duratrac tires. Originally bought in Reno and spent it's whole life in Northern California or Reno area. Comes with some service records and most of the factory tool kit. Salvage title due to California DMV rules after a minor fender bender. All damage repaired, you have to look close to find evidence of the repair. Body has some rust, mostly surface like almost all of sixty series trucks around the rain gutter and windshield gasket, a few ugly bubbles but look localized. No rot in frame / undercarriage. Interior has typical radio install b.s. from prior owner. I have some parts to return to oem dash and some pieces to fix other issues that will come with the truck.
Engine has been rebuilt at some point in recent time, it runs great. I did a cold compression test and all the numbers were even and good (115-120 psi on all cylinders) Engine has no leaks or seeps from any gaskets or seals. Prior owner stated it had a new clutch installed within the last 10k miles and it drives as though he was truthful. Brakes look 50% or better on front, rears work great.
Tons of new parts in the engine compartment. It has a rebuilt carb, new $$$ not rebuilt P/S pump, new alternator, new water pump and thermostat (Aisin) new fan clutch (Aisin), new smog pump, new HEI distributor (USA sourced Davis Unified Ignition, not a Chinese knockoff) new plugs and wires, new valve cover and side cover gaskets, new exhaust gaskets, valves lashed, all new vacuum lines, new fuel pump and spacer, new fuel lines-filter. New power steering lines and the radiator has been re-cored at some point. Lots of other new parts as I planned to use this for long distance family trips. Truck still needs the A/C fixed, will need new evaporator, condenser and compressor resealed and reinstalled.
Overall it is a great rig and could be driven as-is while you work on it or could be fully restored with a little work. Although it is not perfect, like all other thirty year old trucks, it is definitely not a beater like many of them. I'm just moving on in a new direction and don't feel like finishing the remainder of the project.
