gauging interest

[peebles24]

Thinking of possibly selling my 76 40, wondering if anybody is interested. Don't really want to sell it but I need a vehicle that gets good gas mileage, and a 40 that gets 14 or 15 and an 80 that gets 11 just ain't cutting it. Hell I don't even get to wheel it anymore due to work.

Chad, That is a sweet rig. Out of my price range, no doubt. My dream Cruiser is an FZJ80. I have an 85 4WD mini. I drive a 2wd Toyota pick up for the gas milage. Got less then $500.00 in the whole truck. Good luck in whatever happens. Tony.

May not be as far out of your price range as you think, I'm not real sure I want to sell it but the MPG in 2 land cruisers is killing me, if I added the two together I would still be well under 30 MPG.

Hell I'm probably right at 20 mpg if you combine both of mine.

My 80 and 55 were 20 at best combined, which is the same as my Tundra (that has more HP than the 80 and 55 combined.)



Don't sell the 40. It'll only make you sad and make you pay more for a lesser one some day.

Yup, what he said.

Chad,
Questions:

How much $$?
How many miles on the ticker?
Do you have any recent pics (if it looks any different than the pics from '06)?
Any upgrades or changes since '06? You had listed what you were going to do to it.

Thanks,
Tom

I also agree, don't sell. I have done it before, then bought another and had to do it all again. It ain't eatin nothin sittin in the garage. Give it some thought, no one knows what the future has in store. Later, Tony.

I'm thinking $6,000.00, I don't have a clue how many miles the odometer hasn't worked since I got it. I doubt I have driven it 2,000 miles. I installed a CD player, winch, front recovery points, and new tires.

Congrats! Did you sell it to someone on "Mud" or a TLCA member?

 

[Polak]

I'm sure you did the right thing. It just breaks my heart to hear that.

 

[peebles24]

No it went to some one local that I will keep in touch with and try get into the TLCA. Now I just need to find the daily driver I am looking for something with around 30 MPG.
