NewB to IH8mud. I have worked CJ-7s for years and hated their piecemeal design. Had a buddy in college that had a 78' FJ40 and loved it, after doing my homework I've switched allegiances! Been looking for a FJ for the past couple months, but figured this would be the quickest way to get to all of you guys.
Prefer a late 70's - early 80's, but I'm not set on it. Lack of rust on body and running stock engine most important. Don't need a top or doors if absent, I live in Florida and will likely never need them. No emissions here. I've restored a few cars many years ago so I know BS when I see it. I'm not going to trail it, just on dry days around town and to the beach as a back-up vehicle.
Looking to spend less than 11k all together (travel and shipment if necessary). Got my eye on 1 already, may need to make a decision in the next couple weeks.
Thanks guys, great forum, been reading a lot the past few months.
