Wanted FJ62 and FJ80 (need 2 trucks)

Well, I'm back at this again.

I found a 1994 FJ80 on CL here in Austin and was very close to purchasing it. Unfortunately Edwin found a knock in the engine and repairs/maintenance made the $$$ not work out for me. Either way, it was a great truck and I got to meet an great LC enthusiast.

Which leads me back to MUD.

Here is what I am looking for (with as much detail as possible):

Truck #1
FJ62
Automatic (meaning no conversions)
A 2-3 condition vehicle
No rust (or extremely minimal)
Stock condition is fine
Budget: Under $9000


Truck #2
FJ80
Years: 1997-?
A 2-3 condition vehicle
No rust
Stock condition is fine
A daily driver
Less than 200k miles with ALL maintenance performed by verifiable mechanic/shop.
Budget: Under $9000

I'd like to find something in Texas but open to traveling for the right vehicle(s). I won't buy anything "sight unseen" or over the internet so please only refer me to legitimate sellers.

Thanks MUD. You've helped me before and I know you'll help me again.

Yes, I saw that posting and have talked to Al but the prices (for me) do not match the vehicles.

So I am still looking. I found a nice FJ80 in Dallas, but it turned out to be a scam. The scam artists are realizing that posting an ad with a REALISTIC price (not a super-low one) gets many more responses.

The one I found was from a "divorced lady" that just moved to "Kansas City" and the truck was at a "shipping facility" and I could purchase through "Amazon."

After I buy it, she is also going to sell me beach front property in Arizona! HA!

Mike,

Wife doesn't want manual. Too much to think about when you're trucking 4 kids around Austin.

Thanks though.

UPDATE: Found LX450...hopefully

I found the following:

1997
LX450
211,000 miles
No body damage
No rust
Factory Lockers

Needs the following:
Rear brakes and rotors
Tires (all around)
Tune-up
Axle seals
Front seat motors do not work
Leather is torn up on front seats and heavily used in second row

Oil pan is seeping and power steering pump has a slow leak.

Plus, lockers do not engage but that may be to lack of use.

Engine is 170 PSI and transmission shifts fine.

Price?
