I recently procured an FJ80 (w/out lockers) with 210k from a guy who had put about 4k into the engine a week before. I have the list of work and it looks like it boils down to a new tranny and a little more.
I picked it up for 3800 in hopes of having a nice 4 wheeling vehicle/heavy car camping vehicle. My vision is to have a couple inches of lift and clean it up a bit. However, I live in CO and cannot get this thing to pass emissions. I was told buy a guy who is supposed to know that if it isn't passing emissions there is most likely something serious going on and I should get out of it and forget putting anything into it.
Any advice or insight would be much appreciated.
thanks
