Well guys, this is it. If you are thinking this is some kind of fire sale, stop reading now. This is the rig we have all dreamed about and it is beautiful. And, it is located in Nashville, TN.

I have owned it for 8 years. We took it on an 11,000 mile road trip to Baja and then used it as our only US based vehicle for 5 years while we were living abroad for work. These 40,000 miles of driving convinced me that it needed more power.

I had it converted to diesel by Diesel Toys in San Antonio and then 7,000 miles later rebuilt by ATEB/TorFAB. This is frankly a big part of why it's listed here - just the heart break of having to do that and go without it for another 4 months.

Bottom line, this is the nicest driving diesel 60 you will ever find!!

1HD-T rebuilt by ATEB 4000 miles ago.

H55-F 5 speed. Factory t-case with twin stick conversion.

Stock front axle with ARB Locker and IFS Hub conversion with Tundra rotors.

FZJ80 rear axle with ARB locker and factory disc brakes.

BDS front suspension. OME rear with air overloads.

ARB front bumper with Warn Winch.

Kaymar rear with spare tire and 3 Scepter can mounts.

Engine details:
G-Turbo
Top Mount Intercooler
Rebuilt and tuned injection pump
Exhaust manifold mounted EGT probe
Factory accessories including 12v alternator.

Interior details:

Leather seats with front seat heaters.
TEQ embroidery on the door panels.
Just Dashes rebuilt dash pad - custom fit to pioneer head unit.
Tuffy center consol.
AMP and JL audio speakers.
Full WagonGear side panels and tailgate - with storage.
In dash Autometer Tach - factory location.
A-pillar mounted EGT and Boost.

Other:

Under-dash mount ARB air compressor.
100 series master cylinder.
252,000 total mileage. Body is the only thing to see that mileage. And all original paint except the hood. It is an 8/10. And, still my favorite part of the truck.


I am asking $37,500. Serious offers considered. Partial trade of mid 2000 100 series considered.

Expedition gear not included but available with purchase (to be negotiated)

ARB Fridge.
ARB Awning.
ARB Rack and prototype RTT.
Custom Kuat NV bike rack (to clear rear bumper accessories).
Canvas storage bag for front half of rack.
Lots of other stuff.

He is running Tundra rotors...at least from the description in his post, so 15" fj40 rims might not clear if he's also got the Tundra calipers.

That would mean custom fj40 rims then......

They can clear, the problem is getting them to clear without them sticking WAY out in the rear.
 
The whole wheel drama blows my mind. Once you buy good wheels, they are essentially fashion accessories and not everyone likes the same things - earth shattering stuff, here. Buy it for $30k and change 'em. If my bank account was bottomless, I would run hutchinson rock monsters, but it is not...
 
Tor,

Good to hear from you! - Pretty sure Cruisermatt was trying to educate everyone that if I ran 40 series steelies then they would stick way out due to the axle modifications. This truck needs 4.5" of offset to keep the tires in the wheel wells.

Thanks,
Dan
 
Wow-that is nice.

The smog drama here is the downside, and $30k, while a fair price (IMHO) is too much to risk on the CARB non-sense in this state.

A super cool truck though. Ignore the haters.
 
Agreed.

I don't care what any tire kicker thinks.

If you have the cash, fly out, look it over and then post up.

Otherwise you are prognosticating and sometimes it is best to not speak of things if you have not done the least of the "genchi genbutsu" necessary to "know what the call is."
 
No hater here...
This is clearly a beautiful rig..
Worth the price.
Only thing for me as Cruiserdrew points out is the uncertainty of KA smog laws...
Other than that... I'd seriously consider buying it.. It would look sweet next to Manu...!!
The rims are not my taste, but if you are considering buying this rig...rims should be a non-issue.
I still think 40 rims with custom made back spacing would be the cherry on top for this rig.
From the pics, I don't see the rims sticking out for them to be an issue... I know cause I too run the 80 series axles w/same back spacing....

Like I said on my initial post...
Somebody is going to get a helluva rig..!!
Good luck with the sale..
 
I am planning to throw it on eBay in the next few weeks. If it doesn't sell, I am going to cancel the AEV Prospector build for my Ram and keep the cruiser. No point in having both, they are just too similar.
 
IMO this is one of those vehicles that you take anywhere and everywhere. From the ballet to Baja, classic styling with a great engine. Seems like a bargain when you compare it to anything new on the market.
 
Still for sale guys! I did a little work this weekend replacing bearings and seals on the rear swing aways. It is ready for the next owner.

Hoping to sell it on mud this week or it goes to the wolves on eBay!

Thanks,
Dan
 
mig79 - drive it home and start ownership with an EPIC roadtrip!
 
Anyone know about licensing this in California?

Really love the truck.
