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.
