SOLD 8-25-07
It kills me to have to sell the vehicle that I always wanted. But I have no time or money to finish it.
I just want to be up front with anything I know about this truck. I have it for sale locally via Craigslist for $3500. If it doesn't move soon I may try ebay.
Here's a link to all the pics, if the link doesn't work. Then copy and paste that link into your browser. If for any reason that doesn't work let me know & I will attach them all to an email, but there's 75 pictures.

This is an almost completely stock FJ, other then the wheels & paint. It has newer paint, gold metallic; the paint has a few minor chips and scratches. Comes with hard top & full hard doors. Also has a newer soft-top with doors in perfect condition. The tub interior has been Rhino lined. The driver and passenger seats have been recently recovered; it comes with the original rear jump seats, which are in good condition. The FJ has the rust in the typical spots for a vehicle of this age.
This FJ has been in storage for the past 7 years. It needs work before it will be road worthy, so it will need to be towed from my location. I will also require that the title be transferred the day you purchase it. In PA a title only transfer runs about 35 dollars.
Known issues: It needs a new exhaust system. A new muffler is included & has been temporarily installed. The spring pins and bushings need replacement; new bushings will go with the vehicle. Also needs all brake hoses replaced. All but the rear brake hose is included. The parking brake assembly is not connected, neither is the speedometer. The transfer case needs to be filled. I replaced the parking brake cable and drained it, but never had the time to refill it. It runs good, but needs a tune up. It smells like it's running rich, so I think it also needs a carb. adjustment. The floors at the body to frame connection has some rust and holes that will need attention. There are no holes visible in the cab, they are between the frame and body. I just discovered that the rear brakes are over adjusted. I adjusted them when I did the parking brake cable and they are too tight, will need to be de-adjusted. Also there are several lights that are out, the horn did work, but I had to removed a defective horn button & I did not get around to replacing it. The tires also have low tread.
New/Used parts that I have installed:
- New battery cables
- New window felt
- New hood hold down hooks
- Interior windshield knobs
- New Speedometer cable
- New Parking brake cable
- New rear U joints
- New Radiator hoses & thermostat
- Flywheel cover
- New reverse lens
- New gas cap
- New drivers door lock
Parts included, but not installed
- 5 steel wagon wheels 15" X 9" (Just painted black)
- 4 American Racing Outlaw II - 15 x 10 wheels (Fair condition)
- Driver and Passenger door weather stripping
- New spring bushings
- Rear heater
- New rear 4 wheel drive corner emblem
- Two rear tire carriers
- New factory front bumper
- New factory style muffler
- Front & rear brake hoses
- Left & Right Door mounted mirrors
- Other assorted parts etc...
If you want to come and look at the truck let me know, I work nights so I can only show it before 1 pm during the week. I can show it any time, with enough notice, over the weekend. I'm located in NE Philadelphia, not far from the Academy Road ext of I-95. Feel free to email or pm me, I will get back to you as soon as possible.
