Cheryl,
This is your conscience talking, just say NO!
Dennis,
I wanna joy ride in it!
Back off, Ali!!!
Hey... There’s still a few places we could go cruise around for a couple hours.
snowsuit
You're missing Schnapps.
See, left something for you to bring, Ali!
You’re killin’ me! Love that truck. BTW- Want to help move to 60s o er the mountain tomorrow?
Come on people this is a smoking deal! Go buy a rusty truck ( if you can find one) spend 30 plus thousand on on it ( very conservative estimate) when you can buy this for a fraction of the build price! Just throwing in my two cents worth Dennis!
I found a fairly clean one in Calif. for $4k. Needs an engine. Which works great as i picked up a 1hz/h41/toybox for $6k.
so whats my fraction @ $10k all in?
Selling price is more relevent to market alternatives than what it cost to build typically.

Sounds like you will have a cool fj45 when you have all the parts put together. I hope to see a build thread on your project.
Your 10K all in purchase of parts that have not been fitted together I do not think is an equal comparison to the 45 I am selling. The cost and time for fitting a non factory drive train will cost more than your all in price. There are a lot of little things that will add up. In addition to what you need to do with the axles and driveshafts, power steering, custom radiator, etc... I have a hard time believing that you will be able to assemble your project with similar build specs. as the 45 for sale here for 4k or less. All in all you still have a decent amount of work to do before you can make an apples to apples type cost comparison on what you purchased to this 45. No matter at the end of the day you will have a 45 that suits you and I am sure it will be really nice.
I agree that the actual build cost for this type of rig generally does not translate to a final sale value. This is reflected in my continued price drop, currently I will loose a lot at my current listed price of 14k. At the end of the day these rigs are only worth the negotiated price of what one will pay and what one will sell it at. So many other things can obviously affect the sale price as well.
Let us know when you start your build thread.

I have a set of new 37x12.50r17 Toyo MTs that I can include in this sale for another 1000. I paid $1400+ for the tires, so I would loose money on them as well. Vehicle asking price would be 16,000 with new tires.

Please post what $4000 will buy nowadays, would love to see a build thread. What part of Ca. did it come from?

Edit: 3/28/19, I took it to a shop to have the engine tuned. It is running good and drives without issue. They also put it on a dyno and it currently put out 237 HP at 4600 RPM and 296 Torque at 3600 RPM to the rear wheels in 2nd gear. New asking price is 16,000.
