Found a FJ62, good buy?

[Greyscale]

My budget is around $4000, assuming I can get 3-3.5 for the pathfinder (I could put it up for 4 and see if i get any offers.). My main interest in this cruiser was the fact that it had new tires and it was only $1400, leaving me some money to put some more work into it.
I've seen a few rigs around for 3-4k that look pretty decent so i'll most likely follow up on one of those. I just need to learn how to drive stick...

Man that is one rusty rig for oregon.
There are a lot of nice cruisers to choose from in oregon and the west coast.
Keep looking and you will find a nice one.
I live closer to portland and there are a lot of nice ones around here.
It would be worth the drive to get a rust free cruiser. You will be money ahead if you don't have to do a tone of body work.
Good luck with your hunt.

what are the wheels?

I dunno for $1400 or less....looks like a great beater

 

[RredFJ40]

While it's true there are a lot nicer rigs in Oregon, they aren't $1400, they're $4k or more.

IF you are passing on it, could you get me the info? I'm in KFalls - where is this rig? I'm looking for a Parts rig.

Nevermind - I found the ad I'm going to call on it after work.

Looked at it, good rig for the $$, frame doesn't have much of a future aside from a trail rig.... Body is shot. Interior is functional but not much resell value.. Tires were in excellent condition, like new. Good parts rig, I'm thinkin' about it as a parts/part out rig.. Would be a good trail/beater rig and then part it out.

Joel,

If you look at it, would you post up what the tires are. 34x9.5 TSLs? 34x10.5 LTBs? Something in a 16" rim size?

Thanks,
Curt.

Yeah, salt will do magic to your metal. Try finding a 62 up here in the NE w/no rust. Keep looking, I just found a rust free from TX for $2900. Good luck.

 

[RredFJ40]

Called on it a couple of times since I wouldn't be able to make it over to medford until Tomorrow at the earliest. It sold this afternoon. Did a Mudder pick it up? I was really looking forward to having a parts rig!

Hopefully a few of those rigs will still be for sale when I head up for Spring Break in a few weeks.

So, who actually ended up buying the rused out cruiser?

34x9.5x R15

Joel,

Curt.

Tires are 34x9.5 R15, yep, R15. I looked on one site and only the 16.5 came up in this size, very narrow and GNARLY...

I worked out a trade-deal, found the ad before it showed up here. Rig came from Illinois. As bad as it looks-it runs pretty good. Tires rub under articulation, mounted on steelies, might not be toyota, offset seems a bit too far in for OEM toyota rims. Spacer on fronts and not enough bolt to nut contact. No spacer on rear. I would say it is definitely a beater or a parts/donor rig. Drive train is good, frame is there but not worth using for anything else, Dash, front carpets (with a good cleaning) are good. If anyone is still real serious about a parts rig let me know.

Interco list them as a Narrow Special Service size in a different page.

Narrow S.S. :: Interco Tire

Would you think these would work alright with a 2.5" lift and no spacers? (can't recall if a lift was mentioned by the OP). I've been debating these, 32x9.5s and the 34x10.5 LTBs for a second set of stock rims.....
