New member seeks advice on purchase

[Vicm]

Hi I'm a very new member to IHMUD. I've been driving a FJ60 for eight years now but only recently discovered the site. It is totally awesome! I've been wandering around discovering lots of great stuff. Anyways, I have wanted to purchase a 40 series for a long time and would appreciate some information.

I've found a very decent looking( in the pictures) FJ40 that has been rebuilt. It's not in my town so I haven't seen it yet but the owner says no rust on body( new metal welded in) and no rust on frame(stored inside alot). 3 inch lift 33 inch BFG good shape, Body is 1973 with disks added in front and power steering added but no bull bar. Hard and soft top with warn winch. The owner is asking $4000. Is this a good deal? Also I know there was a body style change in the mid 70's but I'm not sure what changed. Also what is the wheel base length on the 40's

Again I think this is a truly wonderful site!

Thanks

Wellcome,
I think you have made up your mind before you asked the question. If it is that good I would buy even if it had no motor, then stick a diesel into it. Or is it dieseled already?
Again wellcome , go fast and buy it and show these guys ...
Good luck to you.
Vic
Edit::: And I want this one
