Wanting to buy my first FZJ80 and am pretty green. So any and all helpful comments on any conversations regarding the accidents (don't trust carfax) mechanical history, shape, modifications, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, meant regarding if the truck was ever in any accidents, see that it had 3 previous owners? Thanks

If you're asking me I wouldn't have any idea. The truck is not mine. It's at a dealer.

I was in communication with them on this LC, birfs were bad and the truck sold this afternoon.

ok, this is new to me...how does a 40th

not have lockers? thought I knew these things

 

[semostickbow]

I thought all 40th's had lockers as well.

Factory lockers are a pretty common misconception. I went through this a couple years ago and you'd think from reading around here every other 80 at least has lockers, but when your talking less than 10% of 80's have lockers finding them used, not beat up, low miles, becomes a task that is quite difficult with this much age on them.

To the topic, that cruiser looked clean, thats what IMO an 80 buyer should look for, low miles, clean, well maintained. You can always buy ARB lockers, but you cant buy low miles.
