Medic - definitely a sweet cruiser you have here. Well done, well built, well optioned. I'd love to buy it. Thing is (this is just a comment, opinion, etc..) It is very overpriced. The economy is tanking, and the day of the 30K FJ40 is long gone (at least for now).
Even my local buddies 110% correct and awesomely restored FJ45 only went for 22k. Now, 3-5 years ago, yeah it would have brought probably 30K+.

I do wish you the best in selling this rig, it IS awesome. My opinion would be if you want that much, store it until things turn around, otherwise I'd expect half of that to be a bit more realistic. (Sorry)

Again, best of luck!

Guys,
Thanks for you comments and opinions. I'm aware of the current economic conditions. Fact is that it would still cost more that 40K and 2 years work to build this yourself or twice that to have a shop build it for you.
 
Please read the classifieds rules. Comments regarding pricing are not allowed. His truck, his price, who gives a fick what the economy is. You want to preach your "knowledge", go to chat.
 
bump for a gorgeous truck
 
Get me a job in Lynnwood and I'll buy it and give you my 96!
I'm ready to move back up there!
