This is an awesome FJ60. Very strong, very durable. Looks great but is not a trailer queen. Biggest things that need attention at some point:

Fuel spider needs replacing. A couple of the poppets stick alternately open or closed causing a rich or lean condition depending on when they stick. Sometimes it won't do it for a week, other times it'll do it everyday for a while. I just haven't had the time to replace the spider with the new, non-poppet style.
Front axle has developed a vibration when 4 is engaged. Haven't looked into this yet. I do have a good complete axle that can be included to use for parts if necessary.
Winch is currently not wired up. Was in the process of mounting a second battery but not completed.
There are a few tiny bubbles on the rear roof that need attention before it spreads. I think there was a little bit of repair done above the passenger door prior to my ownership.

Please ask questions and I'll try to address anything you need to know. SOLD . Clear title, in my name, current tags.
Located in Devore, California...about 75 miles from Los Angeles.

I'm no expert, but looking around at what's out there, I honestly think you are about $4-5k low on your asking price. Obviously it's only worth what it will sell for, but to duplicate what you have on that rig would be well over $20k in parts and labor. My 2 cents, glws
 
Hey simon, I'm going to be driving past Devore today on my way to go camping. Are you going to be around? Thanks!

Vibration seems to be at the diff flange. Perhaps the bearing? I had planned to rebuild the front axle with a locker this summer so I didn't worry about sorting it out. Long range tank is not included.

Do you have an idea what is causing the vibration in the front. Does the long range tank come with the cruiser and how much more to set it up.

Welcome to a buyers market. On a side note, I'm guessing you're are also a bit biased on the matter as I'm sure you dropped coin on your rig.

I can say this, I'd pay $7500 for it Monday. Gonna cost me a $1k at least to get it here and ??? to get it worthy of its looks...PM me if you're interested.
 
Sorry, sold it today to a local gentleman. Turns out my price was fair.
