Hi there - I'm new to the forum, so greetings everyone. I recently fell in love with FJ60's, and was pointed here. Created this account to help facilitate a purchase, and then share all of the upcoming adventures and upgrades.

I'm looking for a rust-free FJ60 with either low miles or a recent rebuild (or priced appropriately so I can either rebuild or swap in a diesel).

Also - this will be my daily driver - however I only put about 8-10K miles on my cars per year. So, naturally I'm looking for more of a stock or overland-type rig, and something with a more modest theme.

I can go either way whether or not the rig is built up or not. Part of me wants to borrow your expertise and buy already built, and another part wouldn't mind taking my time to do it myself.

My budget is $5-10K (with some room north for the right FJ60), and upwards of $15K for something really special.


Please let me know if you find anything in your area. I'm willing to fly almost anywhere to pick it up and drive it home, but preferably within a 1 day drive of Phoenix. Like I posted on another thread here - An excess of airline miles + my love for road trips = a very fun FJ60 buying experience!

Thanks in advance for your help and advice everyone. I've been lurking here for a few days now, and everyone here has already helped so much by sharing their experience and knowledge!

Cheers!

Andrew

I ended up finding it on the San Diego Craigslist site. I had alerts set up in pretty much every city west of the Mississippi, and once the right one came up I bought a plane ticket right away after speaking with the owner.

I actually did test drive about 7 different trucks in 3 states before I finally pulled the trigger.

If you're patient and know exactly what you want you'll find it.
That's awesome. Thanks
Missed one Saturday down there- wonder if it's the one you got! Haha

Oh man! can't do the 7 plane tickets bc if time/babies at home. But good point of reference.
