No interest? More info.....
The 55 is a champ. I love the 2F in the pig. Runs very strong and has great compression numbers (155 145 148 150 140 150) taken 2 weeks ago. I have wilwood disc brakes installed in the front with an fj60 master cylinder pushing the fluid. The carb is a Downey tuned Holley with an electric choke. I'm running a Mallory coil to the matching Mallory unilite electronic distributor. With the addition of the 2F none of the factory gauges with the F sending units so I installed a small 3 cluster gauge group of oil pressure, water temp and volts. The engine has yet to overheat and cruises at 165* all day long. It's helped by an electric puller fan.
I replaced the terribly uncomfortable bench seat with a set of late model tundra seats which have made driving it much more enjoyable. Transmission shifts great, has had no popping out if gear issues and makes no whining unless I try pushing 70+mph. I installed a new clutch about 2 years ago, new pilot bearing, throw out bearing and rear main seal when I installed the 2F about a year and a half ago.
Interior is complete. Rear seat has no tears. Folds down properly. Previous owner installed 2 mat kits from Spector which is nice as it limits the road noise.
Like most 55's this rig is not such a stranger to rust. At some time the previous owner painted the 55 green and had body work done. The only issue is in the roof line. It will need to be repaired. I can send more detailed photos
The rest of the body is in very nice shape. All glass intact. Dashpad is cracked. Rear window motor works but needs hands on assistance when going up due the the weatherstripping in the side channels missing. Original keys. Unlocks doors, starts motor and rolls down the rear glass.
I've replaced the shocks front and rear as well as the tie rod ends. The only thing left to do is rebuild the center arm

What $ amount? Oregon too far? I have a 67 FJ40, and need something bigger for my soon to be four kids. Only thing is, I'd have to keep my wheels and tires....

Oregon isn't too far..... Currently listed on Craigslist for $8500. Would you be willing to send some additional pics and stats on the rig?
Thanks
Thanks
40-55 trade
I have a 77 I would trade. Depending on what you are wanting in a 40, she's no beauty queen, but runs and drives nice. I've been working on it for the last six months making it dependable so my gf could drive it. I'm wanting more room and like the pig! If you're interested I will get you more info. I'm in MT.
