This truck was featured on Ebay / CL for a while (but priced too high)
I knew the owner (Classic Car Dealer) and bought it after inspecting it / driving it.
Titled as a 1985 (Texas Title)
Mostly Surface rust (Some rust through but I've restored FJ40s that were much worse).
Frame is clean and solid. Floor pans appear to have been repaired previously.
3.0 engine
Starts / Runs / Brakes
I'm considering a turbo but I need to research it first.
Not sure about cost / benefits.
It doesn't appear that the soft top is factory so I'm not sure that a soft top replacement will fit.
Probably going with a hard top for the winter.
Thanks to Butch (Texican) for checking it out for me (Just dropped it off at his shop).
He's working on a laundry list of inspections/repairs on this truck !
