This post is not trying to sell anything without posting a price but is soliciting input on whether or not to sell a few items. Every time I put up Christmas decorations I question these items I’ve got stored. I’ve been keeping the items below in case I get the time/$$ for a full restoration for my 62 or 40. My assumption was a full resto would be better OEM/stock but now I see plenty with aftermarket parts. This is what I have taking up storage space:
1) Stock bucket seats from an FJ62. The fabric is great just dirty but has the regular vinyl tear on the side. I’ve replaced with heated ProCar racing seats. Should I keep these or sell? Is there a decent market for used seats wanting to go completely back to stock? Shipping would be a nightmare. If I ever were to sell my truck will it matter if I have these?
2) FJ62 Chrome wheels. I’ve got FJ40 wheels on my 62 and like the look. I’ve also got extra powder coated FJ62 wheels so these are just hanging around if I ever want to go back to stock chrome. Worth hanging on to?
3) FJ40 jump seats covered in leather - these match my up front Montero bucket seats but previous owner installed new roll bar and bench seat in the back. The roll bar mounting points make it impossible to reinstall the jump seats without finding a new roll bar. From a safety standpoint I just don’t think I’ll ever use these. If I sell the truck someone may want to go back to stock. These seem like they would be most valuable if I went down the sales route.
I’m just curious if others would test the market and sell these parts or you just hang on to them forever just in case. I don’t have unlimited storage space but not out of room yet. Again, if I go down the sales route I’ll get pics and details on MUD or FB marketplace just value any feedback from the group. Thanks!!
