I probably already know the answer to this, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
I've been wanting to replace my '93 Pathfinder DD, with electrical demons and balding tires, with a cruiser for a while now. Now, I don't have a good reason to get a cruiser other then just for the sake of owning one.
I was originally looking at getting a 60 (an 80 is way out of my budget) but i've kinda grown fond of the 55 series. Now, there is a 55 that has been for sale in goldendale, wa for quite some time. I finally decided to ask the seller for more pictures and info about the rig. I got the pictures, but no extra info.
Link to the craigslist ad: TOYOTA LANDCRUISER FJ55 (REDUCED)
It has been converted to a 350 and SOA sometime in the past.
Now in the pictures the interior is really beat up. There is rust in the usual places, like the drivers side floorboards and tailgate. It is missing the rear seats and most of the paneling, and possibly seatbelts.
Now, I intend to use whatever I buy as a DD. It would need to make it about 500mi back down to k-falls where i'm going to school. I also don't know how to drive stick (yet).
So, that about covers it. How hard do you think it would be to use a rig as described as a slightly worry free form of transportation. I'm well aware that something like this would require extensive work to get looking in pristine condition again.
Let me know if you want to see any of the other pics.
