This is a fuel injected pre smog cruiser
Everything on this vehicle is new or rebuilt. Everything has 0 miles on it
Build is completely frame off

I am out of time and moving across the country. My third move in 3 years. Plus I built this to be more of a real off-road toy. Cruising in Florida with air lockers, 4.88’s just doesn’t make sense. It will be a while before I’d be able to continue working on this anyway. So this is for sale with a bit left to do, break in of drivetrain, fluids, driveshafts, and ARB compressor location/switches needing installed.

Driveshafts are on order from Tom Woods and should arrive by the 26th.

Comes with some extra parts in a box, new ARB compressor, new rocker switch set, cityracer door weatherstrip. I used lowes automotive weatherstrip at those spots currently. There is about 1/2-2/3 a gallon of paint left ect.

The things that are left have options for personal preference on how the next owner can set them. Compressor and switch location, speaker setup, roll bar choice, rear seat choice, ect.

If I find a stock roll bar reasonably priced and distanced I’ll add it. Same with the short jump seats. Finding them is getting a bit difficult. I’m moving in about two weeks and still need to pack up a house. I’m also gone the 20th-30th. But when I return someone is more than welcome to come check it out.

More pictures added when lighting is better tomorrow.

$40,000
Or $30,000-$35,000 with a part trade of a 07-14 4x4 Tahoe, 04-14 CC pickup, v8 4 runner, v8 Landcruiser in Black, Grey, White, with grey or Black interior.

Maybe a good running fj55. Or a fj45lv would be great.

I had purchased a 69 FJ40 with a trashed 283 sbc in it. I researched a few options for engines and had avoided the LT series due to optispark, but always wondered if there were other benefits. I ended up doing a LS (5.3L LM7) that I bought from BD turnkey engines which was awesome. All the programming and wiring was already done. His costs have gone up a bit, but not unreasonable IMO. Beautiful rig, I wish I had my Chevelle sold so I could buy it.

I’ve always seen the BD turnkey stuff and thought about buying one for something. I’ll have to keep that in mind in the future.

I will definitely go that route again when I get the chance again, he was great to work with. I think with shipping it came out to about 3k but that was back in 2011.
