So I'm looking to cut down the fleet. So I'm selling my 60 (and my 01 Silverado 2500..) and planning to get 1 vehicle that'll fill both placed (read: FZJ80)


I bought the 60 off a fellow mudder the June of 09. He put in a few thousand dollars worth of parts into it over the few years he owned it. Including new carpets and Dynamat type material. I have a folder detailing all of his receipts.

Here's a list of what he replaced:
2007
Installed all new OEM radiator hoses, vacuum tubing, waterpump, fan clutch, thermostat, belts, fan, radiator cap, tune up items (tuned up again since).
New exhaust (cat back) with Magnaflow muffler
FJ62 Swaybar
Stainless battery tray (also have a second stainless tray for a dual battery)
VDP Center Console
George's LED domelights
OEM Shocks
OEM Steering Stabilizer
Catalytic Converter
New Carpet over 100+ sq. ft of Damplifier and Heatwave padding
Pioneer Stereo and speakers (also have steering wheel control unit for it)
Urban Landcruiser Battery Cables
IPF H4 Headlights and Bulbs with an upgraded Wiring Harness
31” Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor Tires (including the spare) - less than 5K miles on them


2008
New Tailgate lifts
Rebuilt the knuckles (Cruiser Outfitters kit and Marlin seals)
4runner Calipers
OEM Tie Rods/Ends
Aussie Mirrors
Rebuilt Carb (OEM kit, rebuilt by me)
Replaced Oil Pan Gasket (OEM)
Replaced the EGR downtube gasket (OEM)
Wagongear weatherstripping


2009
MAF Tranny/Xfer case overflow hose
Replaced the aftermarket smog pump with a gutted OEM pump (used)

I drove it back to VT from VA non stop with 0 problems and it all started there.

What I added
Ruff Stuff SOA kit
Front axle was cut and turned
Bilstein 5125 shocks 14in travel front 10 rear
Ford shock towers
Urethane bushings
Greasable suspension hardware (all shackles and pins)
35in MTRs with good tread.
Custom front and rear bumpers.
Radioshack CB with 4ft Firestik (might be keeping that)


It has roughly 195,000 miles. The body and frame are clean, maybe a couple little specs of surface rust. Its never seen salt in my ownership. The interior is extremely clean. The 60 runs great, starts right up. It drives extremely well, if you look through my build thread you'll see that I was having issues with the handling. I got it aligned and now it drives so nicely. Its really a blast to drive. But I cant afford to have a vehicle that just sits in the winter, and I cant bring my self to drive it in the winter.

I'd like to get $8000obo, its probably too high but its getting more and more rare to find a 60 in this nice of shape.

Bump in the night.
 
Bump...goes on ebay soon :frown:
 
And its on ebay :frown:
 
Was this Scotty's at Addicted Offroad? Maybe not I think he installed the jump seats in back. Cruiser looked familiar.

Bump anyways.
 
No.

Thanks for the bump!
 
came across the ad on ebay today...breaks my heart. great rig.
 
Yeah its a sad day for sure. But I'll get an FZJ80 and start building again!
 
If it doesnt sell on ebay I'll be spraying it with Fluid Film, putting a Lockright in the back and driving it like it should be...hopefully it wont get rusty.
 
Ebay ad ends in a couple hours...last chance
 
Yeah I'm a little surprised but not really. There really just isnt the money or desire for a 60 that's this clean in the north east. But thats fine I'm going to buy some fluid film and a spray gun this week and coat it.
 
Wanna trade your 80? :grinpimp:

Yeah who knows, I had countless people ask me what the reserve was but I kept it private. Judging by bids on other 60s on ebay I thought it'd go pretty high. I'll just take it as another sign that I should keep it and drive it.
 
No, I don't think i'll ever get rid of Norman...Great wheeler with lots of luxury plus it's a salvage title, so I'll never get out of it what it's truly worth because it can't be insured beyond minimum required.

I just really like your 60, love smurf blue, like the mods, and I miss my 60, Ingrid, a little...

I figured the bidding would heat up at the end, no sense playing your cards till the river...
but those guys were duds.

Edit: now she wants a 4000 S due to the four doors...damn.

I was one of them. I've never liked it when people have a problem with giving out their reserve. I never bid when I get that response. 99.99999% of the time when I hear that reply it's more than I am willing to spend.

Aslo, I don't think getting a gun and putting some paint on it is going to get you close to $8000. I'm a bodyman ,and assuming you don't do it for a living I would offer you less than $4000 after you painted it. It's just the nature of the beast when you start out doing bodywork. If you do it or have done it all the power to you, but I would assume you would already have a gun???

Your 60 is nice, but definitely not $8000 nice even for an eastcoaster. I'd say $5000-$5500 tops around my neck of the woods. Here's a link to a 60 with VERY minimal rust with a 5 speed https://forum.ih8mud.com/vehicles-trailers-sale-wanted/447980-1985-toyota-fj60-w-5-spd.html. I could get it and have it shipped for under $6000. You would definitely be better off keeping it.
