Basket case FJ45 - $850

[Radd Cruisers]

Here it is in all its glory - posting this here first and then off to the general classifieds if no one is interested.

It's seriously rusty. Frame is pretty terrible. Most of the engine is there and it probably would have started when it was first brought here except that it had no fuel.

The locking hubs have been robbed off the front axle.

The rear Full Floater is there and intact and would make a great set up for the rear of a 40 or 50 series if you wanted to convert to disc brakes using pretty much all factory parts (cut apart some knuckles for the disc brake mounts, a light machining of the hub for the rotor to fit, Land Cruiser calipers, a few hoses... and you're done).

The asking price is less than of the value of the rear full floating axle by itself - it should actually be worth more like $1k.

I would really like the whole thing removed in one piece. If you want me to remove the rear axle and sell it to you, it's going to take me some effort to do that and then I have to get rid of the rest of the pieces - so the rear axle alone: $1000.

Cash only.

Needs to go very soon.

Please call 250 746 8977 and leave me a message if I'm not here.

Why must you torture us who are not close enough to take advantage of this sweet, sweet deal!

 

[Radd Cruisers]

All you gotta do is speak up for it and give me a pretty good idea of when you can come get it... but sooner rather than later please. It's backyard clean up time now that it's not full monsoon season.

I'll tell you what, if it does not sell today, I will give you a call tomorrow.

Shipping and storage are my two worries.

Oh yeah, and a little worried about the wife too!

What engine is in it?

 

[Radd Cruisers]

What they all came with here in this vintage: 2F and an H42 4 speed.

The engine might be spoken for since there's not much action on this thing.

Please don't throw away the splits. I'll buy them if I have to to save them. There must be a mudship to Calgary in the next little while.

What year is it? I need a good windshield frame for my '78.

 

[Radd Cruisers]

The window frame is probably pretty rusty. I think it's a 77 or 78, I'll check.

It's an April 1977.

The window frame, on a quick look, seems to be surprisingly good with not much visible rust.

I should have a few more split rims kicking around here too.

It's looking like more of a bargain all the time.

The windshield changed from "77 to "78. The "78 has the larger wiper motor cover and the newer rear view mirror.

I don't need the splits, but don't want them to go for scrap. They are getting harder to find al the time.

Since Rubithon i..s coming, you may have an easy mudship down to California for some of the heavier parts
