Hi Mike,

finally decided to sell? Did you end up doing the HG yourself or have a shop do it? Too bad you got cold feet last year when we spoke.

I may be willing to trade for my built FZJ80 if you are looking for something reliable and wheeling ready. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Thanks
 
Sorry All - Been a Crazy Day today. I should be able to get back to all of you after cub scouts tonight....
 
More Details

Any oil or fluid leaks?
No Oil or fluid leaks. There were a few when I got it, Distributor O-ring, oilpan, but I quickly had those fixed

Rust on suspension or body?
No Rust on the suspension. This truck was garaged in CA for 10 years before I bought it. Its been kep outdoors since, with an occasional stint in the garage. I live about 12 miles away from the ocean so thats not a factor either. I have seen one red spot on the body. a tiny spot where the paint was chipped near the rear hatch

Electric buttons work (power windows, door locks, sun roof)? Everything works, EXCEPT the passenger rear door occasionally does not want to lock and unlock. If you lock or unlock twice in a row it is more likely to work.

RR/FR Diff lock engages?
It engages great.

Alignment straight (no pulls when accel or braking)?
Rolls straight brakes straight. I had some vibration in the front end in Jan 2010. I thought it was the wheel bearing, (it was loose) so I replaced them. Found out later the FL tire had a flat spot. 4 new Tires and the issue is gone.

Leather and carpets clean and not ripped/stained?
Leather looks good. It has some wear cracks, but there not too bad. The Front is holding up well although there is a hole where I sat on the seatbelt and poked it through (arggg)

Window seals fresh without leaks?
I have never seen any leaks. this goes for the sunroof as well. The LF door was involved in a fender bender by the PO. The carfax did not show this. they told me that it was a parking lot incident. As a result the door does not have the build sticker on it and there is a small dent in the doorwell on the body. It will sometimes let air in from the bottom. I have never seen any water come up that way, but in a deep fording situation its possible

Windshield cracks, chips?
A few chips very small, no spidering, and no cracks

Dents or scratches?
The front bumber has two dents on it. Didn't bother me since I always thought it would get replaced with a ARB. There is the occasional paint chip, a scratch on the hood, and the rear quarter panels are dented but not creased.

Hood or roof sunbleached?
Theres not a lot of sunbleaching on this truck since it spent most of its life indoors. The headlights are also very clean and clear with no discoloration.

Original manuals and two master set keys included?
I have the manuals, the original sticker ($63,000) and 3 keys. 2 are newer, cut from vin, and the 3rd is attached to a nonworking FOB. (it works but eats batteries) I still haven't gotten around to replacing them. Its so easy to unlock using a key that it didn't really matter.

Service records, carfax available?
I don't have any of the original service records. I do have records since 2007. I had carfax when i bought the truck, but I haven't ran one lately

Doors/panels/gates numbers match?
The LF door was involved in a fender bender by the PO. The carfax did not show this. they told me that it was a parking lot incident. As a result the door does not have the build sticker on it and there is a small dent in the doorwell on the body. It will sometimes let air in from the bottom. I have never seen any water come up that way, but in a deep fording situation its possible. Besides the above mentioned Front Left Door, Everything is original.
