Trade Have a good fj40, want a good fj60 - upstate SC

HAVE a 1977 FJ40 that runs great, 2F and four speed, surface rust of no consequence, weekend driver.

Replaced clutch master and slave cylinders, rebuilt brakes all the way around (including new cylinders on the rear), knuckle ball joints rebuilt, new radiator. 7500 miles on 4 BFG AT 31x10.5 on five 15 inch steel wheels (sandblasted and powdercoated)(fifth wheel has used, but matching BFG AT). Hubcaps. Soft half doors. Hard doors, hard top in good condition. Cruiser has a tailgate installed, but I also have ambulance doors stored. Recovered jump seats in very good condition, have a Con-Fer bench seat in storage. Tuff box between the seats, but have original console as well. Lap and should belts up front. Aftermarket dash.
Believe this cruiser is worth $10-11k.

Also have a Warn 9.5 winch, winch plate and Soft Top Bows, not included at this point, but everything is negotiable.

WANT an original FJ60 in good running and cosmetic condition, minimal rust without major modifications. Don't want something I'm scared to scratch.

WHY? Have two young kids and a wife. Would like to take them with me in relative safety.

Here's a video fording the Talullah River.

You would do better selling the 40 and buying a 60 , the 40 is more valuable and cash in hand would net a better deal on a 60

 

[Hmmm]

You may be right. I'll think about that.

If you are looking at this FJ40, I am considering a straight sale, but have to work a few things out before I can say so for certain. For the time being, please consider this 40 not presently for sale. Should be a decision within a couple of weeks. I'll re-list then.
