I'm searching for a FJ40, and I've found one. It's a 1978 with 3' lift, 33' tires, soft-top, 94K, winch, and some dings and rust on the fenders (where the signal goes and on the bottom end of the rear panels) and the rear frame. Not that bad on the frame. The inside is still nice (some small rust spots). I drove it around. The owner told me that he has a rear locker installed (I remembered he said it was a lock right (sp)). Offroad is impressive (first time in a FJ40), and on road is ok. It tends to pull to the left. Is it alignment issue? When going over uneven surface, the steering wander a bit. Is this normal? The engine sounds good. He said he replaced the engine about 23K miles with the F engine instead. He couldn't find the 2F at that time. The carburator is not Toyota. I forgot what it was.
This is the first time I've look at a FJ40. And I would like inputs from all of you that has more experience with this vehicle. Is this a good buy. The asking price is 3800. Thanks.
