Reason For Sale:
Why am I selling? We recently received some great news that we will be expecting our 3rd child. This is a good surprise however is going to eat into what little time I have. Plus we need a larger car to haul 3 car seats and big as the FJ55 is 3 seats is not in the cards. Truly is a great running cruiser and we will miss. Gets tons of attention where ever we go.
PPI: Copy of PPI from when I purchased can be sent if interested. PM me. Will give you idea of what I purchased.
Photos: I’ve tried to take all photos of exterior, interior, underside so you have a good understanding of the condition. The cruiser is very solid and is a head turner.
The new owner will not be disappointed.
