Wanted FJ 60 V8 Conversion Wanted in Colorado Under 10K

Location

United States

Hello,

I am new to the MUD world but I have been watching these threads for the last year or so. I used to own a 1992 Land Cruiser when I lived in Malawi years ago and want to get back into a cruiser. Life has slowed down and I don't drive like I used to so I can sell the hybrid.

Looking for an FJ60
Mileage doesn't matter much
No rust
Prefer Diesel but know they are harder to find
Prefer stock as much as possible but not mandatory
Colors white, black, gray,brown, or dark blue (Wife doesn't like loud colors)

Price under 10K

Look forward to a new Land Cruiser. Seems like others have had great success with the wanted adds.

I think you're gonna want to temper your expectations at the $10k mark. You're describing a cruiser that's running into the 20s these days, especially for a rust free diesel. You're options for diesel are most likely gonna come from Canada (rusted to hell) or imported from Japan ($$$$$). There's a 61 listed on the Denver Craigslist right now. RHD, diesel, etc. They're asking $15k OBO, but I've seen it listed off and on since maybe October, so you might be able to get in that one for under or around $10k. If you're looking for a V8 conversion, it's doubtful that someone would keep the rest of it stock if they're fine putting a non-Toyota motor in it. Just a few thoughts to consider. Good luck, though. I'm sure your dream cruiser exists, finding it is gonna be the hard part.

That is spot on advice, especially when it comes to price.
