Hi,
I'm new to MUD, fairly new to Nevada and am looking for an FJ40 to use to access remote areas of desert mountain ranges.
Being new to Nevada, I didn't realize just how restrictive DMV is for what they will allow to be registered in (Clark County (Vegas) and Washoe County (Reno)), unless its registered as 'classic' and restricted to 5000 miles per year.
So, I'm looking for either:
1. An FJ40, newer than 1967, that has already successfully passed the Washoe County or Clark County, NV Smog test and been registered in NV - BUT, not as "classic".
2. An FJ40, older than 1968 - no smog test required, if the engine is also older than 1968. This can be located in-Nevada or out-of-Nevada, BUT, (for me) the body and chassis VINs MUST match.
3. An out-of-Nevada FJ40, newer than 1967, that has:
a. matching body and chassis VINs;
b. original engine, with any associated smog equipment (that was included at
time of manufacture) - smog equipment MUST be working
OR
replacement engine that is the same year (as the vehicle) or newer AND
includes any associated smog equipment (that was included at
time of manufacture of the replacement engine) - smog equipment
MUST be working
I'm not looking for a 'queen, a 'crawler'' or a 'project' - I merely want a safe, dependable LC that can get me where I want to go, in the remote areas that I love to explore - I really need to quit tearing up my Tundra.
I want the 40 to be as stock as possible - no SBC, etc. Minimal rust is acceptable - but only minimal.
I prefer to stay under $15K, but will go as high as $20K (cash) for the right 40, with the right equipment.
But, its IMPERATIVE that I be able to comply with the Clark County, Nevada registration requirements- I need to drive more than 5000 miles per year.
I apologize for the lenghty text, but there's no easy way to say all this...
Please PM me with any candidates.
Thank you!
Danny
