Hey mud,

It's with a heavy heart I have listed my fj40, aptly named "Shorty". I have decided to put more money towards my fj62 and also create some room in the driveway for my 16 year old to get a 4runner or Land Cruiser.

MUD PRICE--- $16,000

Asking $17,000 on FB, but on mud I am willing to negotiate and work with serious buyers. I bought the truck out of Arkansas, and it was driven out West and then built by some guru in NorCal 20 years ago, on the PO's watch. The PO also built the family cage, front and rear bumpers. The truck is solid, and has served me well. As my friends know, I drive my cruisers, and don't have the luxury of owning trailers to tow them around like queens. My rigs, even Shorty, see interstate miles. A few of us did Relic Run in 2018 and logged almost 1,000 miles round trip. Shorty did it in style, and at 65 mph the whole way, LOL.

I also have videos and more pics I can send....

cheers, and Happy New Year!!

Joel

By "NorCal" gurus, are you talking about Wardens in Placerville?

 

[Tennessee80]

I’m not sure. The PO bought the truck out there, and had it built SOA before he did the Rubicon. 20-25 years ago, because I’ve had it since 2015

 

[oakweb]

Sounds like the Wardens then, I don't know many others doing SOA at that time

 

[Tennessee80]

What I do know is it's a good rig, and a "driver". It has a low SOA and doesn't feel too tippy on the streets. The Bilstein shocks are a nice compliment to the flat springs, and the Saginaw and 4 wheel disc brakes are enjoyable mods....

WHAT?!?!?! I can’t believe you are selling this rig!!!! Thought you would be buried in it. You saved my butt more than once with this mountain goat! Def going to miss seeing it on the trail. Hope it stays close to home:/

 

[Tennessee80]

I would also entertain a part trade for a stock 3rd gen 4runner, stock 1998-2001 100 series, or stock tacoma, for my 16 year old.

Happy New Year, mud!

 

[Tennessee80]

Bump, price edit.

Happy New Year!

Sale pending... Shorty is about to move to Atlanta! The new owner is not on mud, but I am going to steer him here for questions. He is from Columbia, and grew up wheeling and driving 40 series trucks.

cheers

If the sale falls through, I’m also very interested and in Atlanta. Best of luck.

That is indeed a warden spring over, two of my buddy’s worked for Danny back then. They were as low as you go go using the original spring Hangers as a shackle reversal. Nice rig Joel, glws

 

[Tennessee80]

Sold, moving to Atlanta, GA....

 

[Bluegrass40]

Congrats.... I guess

 

[Ocho77]

Congrats, Joel!

 

[Tennessee80]

Thanks, everybody. Hard to see it go! Carlos made it back to Atlanta safely last night, and reported to me that he had a hard time at gas stations because people kept coming up and taking pictures, LOL
