Hi, i'm not a regular on this forum but it was suggested to me that it may be a good place to spread the word on my truck.
Please email me whitefjforsale@gmail.com if you want any more photos/info or want to come check it out.

Summary:
2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser Trail Teams edition, one of 3200. URD Supercharged, 3-link front Dana 60, 3-link rear Dana 70, Atlas 5.0 transfer case, 40in MTRs locked, armored and ready to rock. The FJ was bought new by me in March 08 after our previous one was written off and I built it as a fairly capable IFS daily driver/ wheeler. In Dec 09 I did a little panel damage (which was repaired by body shop) and decided I wanted to go big. Feb 10 I started the solid axle conversion, working on weekends which I finally had finished in Jan 11. It has very little wheeling done on it as a SA rig. The FJC has a total of 35,6xx miles on it and has had all services performed by professional mechanic owner. Many of the accessoires on the truck were installed as demonstration/research parts while i was shop manager/lead tech of Man-A-Fre. This vehicle has been wheeled, but the sheet metal is straight, the paint is nice and shiny. The sliders/control arms etc have some rock rash on them. The rig is clean inside with the exception of some scratches in the plastic interior. I have taken photos of the build from when I picked it up from the dealer to the current day so have full records of how t was built. I spilt a lot of blood on this truck, had a **** of a lot of fun and met some great people becasue of this vehicle. I built it with the intention of keeping it for a long time, however, my wife and I are now expecting our first child and have since decided to move back to Australia. I am selling this vehicle with huge regret - driving it home last night knowing i had to put it for sale after it really bummed me out. I want to sell it to a wheeler, the FJ deserves that! - my wife suggested putting it at a consignment yard etc but I really want to know who the vehicle goes to so we can keep in touch.

I have done over 2500Miles on the SAS so far, using it as my daily driver and about three trips out into the desert/snow over the last month. It has a slight wheel balance wobble at around 55-60mph that goes away above 60mph. The tires have 12oz dynabead in them, i think it needs a little adjustment but doesnt bother me enough to warrant taking my tires to the tire shop to get stripped (internal beadlocks mean no valve stem application) and have the weight adjusted. It sits on 70mph comfortably. Plenty of power and torque for acceleration / grades.

All 08 FJ Trail Teams options, black-out exterior items (mirrors/handles) Trail teams badges, Warm white exterior, white/black trim interior, power everything, remote central locking, alarm, in dash 6 stack CD player, COLD air conditioning, HOT heat, guage package, 5 seats, Inverter, Leather steering wheel, bilet shift knob etc. But the stuff you really want to know...

It has a leaking front axle seal seal that might have been seen on the weekend and Im fixing that today. I do have fog lights for the front bumper as well which I didnt get to install before I went away.

LICENCE PLATES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE.
I DO NOT THINK THIS VEHICLE CAN BE SMOGGED IN CALIFORNIA WITH THE SUPERCHARGER / EXHAUST MODS. Its currently smog exempt until 2013 but Im not sure if thats transferrable.

PRICE.... $55,000, neg. The only trade I will consider is a 1940 - 1955 AMERICAN car, complete, in stock or slight resto-mod condition, Clean title, for the right car may trade up to 7.5K. Need something to fill the 40ft container Im taking home
LOCATION... MALIBU, CA. If anyone from out of state is interested, I can pickup from airport etc or drive in LA County/Ventura County area to show it. For deposit + accom/fuel i'm even cool with taking a roadtrip for delivery

Please, please dont come inquire if your not ready to buy, or just want to see what a SAS truck drives like. I'm more then happy to take you for a drive anywhere on a trail if thats what your after, just ask me , but please dont BS me just to get behind the wheel.
Its getting detailed and photo'd for a mag this week and
then I will try and have it at a few big events etc while its for sale.

I have plenty more pics if wanted.

These guys do a raffle rig every year (in Colorado)
ask them how they do it...
CoA4WDCi - Home Page

Private parties also sell Bed & Breakfast properties via essay contests...etc. There may be google inroads to info through that angle as well.

 

[Bullrout]

i'm a mechanic not lawyer, but this is what i read the law as -

In CA, you need to be a member of a non profit org or something to have a raffle, and 90% of profit needs to be contributed to the a CA non profit. I thought about the raffle they did for volunteers etc @ KOH, but theres no money changing hands so i guess it doesnt matter. I checked out the CO website, i guess they are classed as a non profit, and on their raffles site they divy up where 90% of there profit raised goes to. I have no problem with donating extra money to someone i think worthy of it such as a land use , Friedns of the rubicon etc ( i never made it to the rubicon, and hope one day i can come back to the us and drive it!) , etc, Im not greedy and am only after my asking price for the FJ, but its not anywhere near the money i understand the gov wants you to donate. I could think of a way to get around it being that if i sell 300 rare Agoura Hills, CA (Where Kanan Road meets US-101!) postcards for $200 a pop, and then decided to give my FJ to one of those people who bought a postcard of me, its not really a raffle?

 

[Trapper50cal]

exactly! Or a $300 a plate dinner for the "Move my A$$ to Australia" Foundation

Aw Well, it was a fun idea while it lasted. Good luck with the sale, wish it was me signing a bank transfer...

 

[Bullrout]

OK this is where I'm at, some good interest / trades but im not really after something i just have to turn around and sell next week!
I want to have this car gone by Apr 15. I'm on a plane the first of may, and Im not going to inconvenience a friend by leaving it with them.
Ive got an idea from a few specialty car yards what they would give me for it. I want to sell it to someone whos going to use it, not to some dealership.
I'm looking for the best deal for me before the 04/15. If anyones genuinely interested in it come check it out or throw me some offers.
Keep in mind the trades im looking for maybe something can be worked out there - I'm looking for a 1935 - 1960 american vehicle, up to 15k. I got 53k on the FJ but extremely negotiable - and if by the 15th of next month its not sold it'll go to whoever offered me the best deal.
Sucks for me , but it is what it is. And as said above, the goal of the last year of building this car was to build something that i could wheel all around. Im hoping someone else can take this and do what i wanted.
Need any more pics or info let me know.
If anyones interested best is to email me, pics of trade if applicable, or whatever, that way i can keep track of everything.
Ben.

Too late now that it's sold, but there is a way to do a raffle. Rainey Kirk did it years ago with his zebra cruiser. He essentially sold keychains, and each keychain had an engraved number on the back. The truck was "given" to the person with the matching keyring. He had to be very careful about how it was advertised and what wording he used....as I recall, using the word "raffle" was a big no no unless it was a non-profit.
