Currently registered in California, and has been daily driven for the last 2 years. 58k miles on fully rebuild 2f engine with oversized valves, ported head, and delta kc 258 grind cam, in front of an 84 fj60 short 4 speed and splitcase, and 1094 fzj80 rear elocking full floater narrowed to 60” wms- wms. 77 fj55 front disk brake axle with 4.11/1 diffs. Fj62 speedo with trip odometer.16” taco wheels on 235/85/16s.

Currently, truck is outfitted with a modified(hastily) step side Chevy bed wearing a resto-in-process 1984 Four Wheel Campers Fleet model pop-up cab-over camper. I also have the flatbed that I built for it when I first commissioned the Haff Hawg about 9 or 10 years ago, that can be included as well as, or instead of the camper...

Pics to follow, and the thread is here Haff Hawged

It’s rough, tough, and needs a good home. I’ll fearlessly and without reservations drive it to it’s new owner anywhere in the CONUS for a train ticket home on top of the agreed upon value for it.

It pains me greatly to do this, but I owe @glennmerkle $350 bucks, I’m too young to be hoarding vehicles, and I’m too old to drive a truck without AC or power steering... and what the heck, it’s Independence Day.

I’d love to get 8 grand but, hey, it’s only part of an fj55... lol!

I will entertain any and all offers of cash money coupled with the interest, resource and drive to carry the torch.

So hit me up and let me know your story; toss me an offer, and we can go from there. Pm for contact info and feel free to inquire. Pics will be posted, and I’ll provide any info or pics requested.
 
Awe cmon, J, it’s a GOOD thing, right?
 
I’m totally in for pictures!!
 
Check the thread for pics till later, on please. @bobm and @jmack et al, shoot me any offer and I’ll bring her to you. Please. She needs a GOOD home. I got my old electrician job back on the weekends to supplement my 9-5. Life has evolved beyond my control. I can choose how I convey information, how I receive it, and how I behave, and not much more than that. Thanks so much, you guys.
 
Oh Man, that's a shame when you were so close to the goal line. Some day I would still like to build a flatbed 55, maybe with one of those new tray backs coming over from Aus. Your 55 caused me a lot of late night thinking about it, so I'm grateful for that.

Back in the 90's I sold my 40 and 55 plus all my stashed parts thinking my life was moving in a different direction, which it did. Then @ 15 years later, BAM! back at it, kick myself every time I think of all the parts I dumped.

Only you know where you're heading and how you're getting there, so I wish you well in your life journey and hope you plan to hang out with us. I would hate to lose your vast knowledge of the 55 and witty commentary to life's other demands.

Hang in there my brother, she'll smooth out.
 
I appreciate that a lot, Ron, thank you. I’m just hoping to find direction one day around some corner where it’s been waitin to meet me...
 
Where are your pictures ?


Well, a thread has been linked, so you could always start there, but I suppose for you pitcher readers out there...

For an extra $2k, I have a low mile 91fj80 3fe, A440, and hf1a, some bobm fender patch panels and some new turn signal housing bases... but you have to take it all to get any of it...

Maybe now that you're back we should turn this into a build thread with lots of pictures!!!
 
Yes, there is, someone should buy it and make a build thread documenting how cool I was to bring it them to finish off!!!
