Trades Welcome, but please make sure they are of the same value, or trades+cash I am looking for a good gas mileage car...AWD is a big plus
Well,
This will start out like any other for sale thread, as it pains me to sell this, but the money is needed, and I need to buy something with better gas mileage as my daily commute has become upwards of 120 miles per day.
For sale, I have my freeborne red '87 FJ60 landcruiser. It has 185K on it. This landcruiser was purchased new back in '87 by my parents. After several years of it being used as a daily driver, (mostly highway miles) The oil plug decided to blow out one day, and the oil leaked out and the good old 2f seized. So, after this, my parents decided to give me the 'cruiser, and I promply had a 400 chevy put in. I had it this way for a couple years, until I reached the same point of view I have now. I wanted slightly better gas mileage, and a toyota engine, so I pulled out the 400, sold it, and was planning a 1 / 2UZFE swap, however after about a year, I never got up the money or time to do the swap. Just a couple months back, I decided to buy another 400 SBC, and drop it in. This one is nice. It has been fully rebuilt, with ARP Main studs / recond rods, and a double roller chain, 1.95/1.50 heads, crower torque beast stage 3 cam, 600 cfm edelbrock carb, .40 Over Bore, Accel HEI Distributor / Super Coil etc...
At present, the carb has a sqaure bore to circle bore adapter, and the carb seems to be jetted slightly wrong for the motor. Th transfer case is a full time 203 transfer case, and the chain drive seems to have some slack in it, as it does make some noise. The Transmission is a TH350 that was fully rebuilt about 2 years ago. Recently, I broke the passenger mirror, and broke the rear right tail lens by backing into a car that I could'nt see behine me at about 2-3 MPH... Anyway, I am plannig on replacing those, and I will be either re-jetting the carb, or buying a new one. The intereior is in Excellent condition, and the paint is super nice for an '87. There is a slight scratch on the front right fender from a rough tree branch while driving on a trail. I really have not drivin the rig off road much, but have done some mild stuff.
I have got a homemade 2" shackle lift, and just replaced the front shocks with ironman suspension. Also just switched to an ironman steering stabilizer, and MAF extended sway bar end links. The rear shocks are Rancho RS-9000's with about 10K miles on them. The tires are widetrack radial baja's with about 30K on them, and ar 32x11.5's. I also just bought a set of 2" rear ironman leaf springs which will be included with the truck, but not installed.
I am going to post up some pics that are a bit old here, but I am going to take some new ones ASAP. I will probably be posting this on ebay as well, however I would love to keep this in the community of 'cruiser enthusiasts.
I would like to get 4500 OBO for this rig, and please keep you offer reasonable. The 'Cruiser is located in Selma, OR, about 25 miles outside of grants pass. As people that live around here know, theese are preaty diffucult to find around here. Be sure to email me, or PM me here if you have any questions, or want to come take a look at it, or take it for a test drive. Thanks
