Yeah, I just don't think it's really worth it, guy wants 2000 for it, and it is really rough. Like no floors, looks like he's been using the cardboard floor boards for a while. everything leaks, so it is pretty much just for parts, and 2G is a bit high I think. I am just sort of dreaming of the plow.
and even that looks not too great.

Rusty deserves better than to become your plow rig, but 2k is kinda high for a no floor 71....

Yeah, I think it is pretty steep, and so will any other landcruiser guy, normal people will think it is outragious, that it belongs in the scrap bin. But I can see where the guy is coming from, as a new plow is pretty expensive, and this one comes with a truck attached. The cruiser might even run, but I don't think it has been serviced since the 80s.

So, kinda like one of my trucks then, eh?
Yup just like your booger trucks
Those plows new are around $1000 or so I would guess?
If it's otherwise a complete and original truck in running/driving condition, maybe he figures 2G is a good asking price.
If you decide to give a gas truck a try for plowing, I have a nice 71 parts 40 in my back yard

I just want the plow to put on my 42 or my other 42, if you want this one, I'd gladly go pick it up take the plow off and deliver the truck to your door in the summer if you want to buy it for 1000.
three shades of blue and the comment of no floors makes me think I don't really need a fourth FJ40. Got any more pics

No more pics, I had my camera at my truck, didn't want to walk back and take more pics (that pick is actually zoomed in from the road, then cropped to reduce image size, so it is pretty far away). I can describ it though (as good as pics
) Rusty bad from the floor to the rear doors. frame and all underneath rusty, not too bad, but I didn't really poke around too much underneath. opened the doors and hood. engine looked to be leaking pretty bad, and everything seemed to be coated with rust and/or oil. The front doors, hood, didn't seem too rusty, even the front fenders wernt too bad. The plow although tough, was sort of holding on just barely. it had a front split bench, minor ripping in certain areas. Thats all I can think of unless you got some more questions.
Uh, no more questions, I got a fairly good idea from your desciption. Think I'll pass on that gem. Already have a black one like that behind the garage.
Hey,
That beast looks familiar.
I took some pics of that cruiser (just south of Lac La Hache) on my way back to Williams Lake from Vancouver. It was still sitting there a month later, I don't know the rig or the guy.
I stumbled upon this post in my search for JDM HDJ81 Cruiser. Sounds like Outback and Luxury have the best reputations for JDM imports.
Anyway, here are the pictures.
You can sorta see the price on the sign, $2000.
And just for laughs a pic of my minitruck project...

Yeah thats the one. I never bothered calling the guy, I just don't need anymore trucks, especially ones that I can't really use. Thanks for posting the pics, do you have any of the drivers side flinstones floorboards? More pics of mini truck too!

I saw that one on Thursday on my way to Prince George and wondered what would be the chances of two Blue 40s with a plow for sale. Didn't have time for a closer look then or last night on my return trip.
