When I bought this, my plan was to tear it down and restore/rebuild. However due to time constrainents and lack of funds, I have decided to sell it. I bought this FJ running and drivable. I was told the engine was recently rebuilt when I bought it. The engine seemed to run strong and compression tests were good. However it did need carburetor work. As I began to get it ready for PA Inspection, I decided that the best way to know what I have is to tear it down. So that’s what I did. I tore the entire truck down. I then had the frame sent out to have all rust cut out, sand blasted and rust cutouts repaired. I had a new front cross member fabricated (Old one was completely rusted) to allow for power steering to be added. Then the frame was painted with POR15. I then torn down both axels and had them sand blasted. I rebuilt both axels and gave them a fresh coat of paint too. I upgraded the rear drum brakes to discs. I installed new leaf springs (Hell Creek) & shocks with a 4in lift. Right now the truck is built up as a rolling chassis (Axels, suspension, frame, wheels & tires). I have tons of parts (to many to list) & pictures. I bought the truck for $3500. I easily have $3000 invested on top of that. I am looking to get $4000 for everything. I am located in south eastern PA (outside of Hanover). Call me with any questions. Ask for Matt 717-227-9921
