New to fj80s buy question (1 Viewer)

[Ali M]

Calling on the wisdom of fj80 owners, aside from Slee's buying guide, is there anything specific I should know about for 94 models or inspect before buying this truck? I will be test driving the truck this week.

Truck specs:
- 94 fj80
- no lockers
- 236K on OD
- owner says he rebuilt knuckles and no leaks. Engine and tranny are works w/o issues and always changed oil at 3K
- no rust under carriage
- body is clean
- interior is decent. no sign of stains or mildew
- CARFAX shows 3 owners and no accidents

Owner asking $6K

Things I am initially looking to do if I buy it:
- Install FR/RR lockers
- OME 2.5" lift heavy front and medium rear
- KO2 tires
- Possibly swap seats to BMW or other matching color seats that are more comfortable for long drives

Long-term plan is to do a V8 swap professionally.

Sounds like a decent price. If you've read the slee guide or spent any time screwing around on this site, you know what to look for.

I'd say you're there, other than posting the exact location and phone number of this vehicle so others can join in checking it out for you.......
