Bump!
What would it take to fix the park in the tranny?

Remove transfer case, remove extension housing, work some magic on the extension rod that engages park, put it back together. The rod needs to be 1/4" longer than it currently is.
Bumping this up one last time before I fix the trans and put it on eBay. The truck did my family real well this week getting us through the mess that was superstorm sandy. My area is pretty devistated, this truck needs to go.

Bump!
House was pretty trashed by hurricane sandy and the insurance isn't covering it, could really use the money from this truck...
For my asking price I will include a second complete running (longblock, injection pump, PS pump, alternator, starter, turbo) 4D34 Engine, two spare ECUs, a spare set of injectors, and a spare core injection pump.
I have no fixed park in the trans yet, but that can be negotiated.

Dang.. How bad is the house?

Entire first floor must be gutted and rebuilt due to a sewage backup, so not good. And aparently there is an exemption written into our policy that specifically excludes sewage damage. Lesson learned as a relatively new homeowner.
Very cool truck! GLWS!

Wow, awesome truck. Wish I had the cash. I'm pretty close to you, but in comparison, Sandy gave us a lil kiss on the cheek. Good luck with the house and sale of the truck.

^ Thank you
I got an email full of good questions, so I am reposting the questions and my answers here...
******,
I will do my best to answer your questions...
My cruiser will out-accelerate a stock cruiser with ease, and I would think it could outrun a TRD SC'd 80 series as well, although I have never driven one to compare against for sure.
It performs just as well if not better than a stock cruiser. There is so much torque available in third gear that a light throttle application is sufficient to spin all 4 tires when on a loose surface.
Yes! I have all of the necessary parts, I just have not gotten around to it yet.
They all function, but are slow in the winter.
Yes, there is a yellowbox speedo correction on the speedometer, the coolant temp and oil pressure sendors were transferred from the toyota engine, the tachometer is 10% off, but good enough to get an idea what the engine is doing. The fuel gauge works, but for some reason is slow coming back up after a refill ever since I installed the long range tank. The voltmeter works perfectly, all idiot lights function properly, and I added a glow plug indicator light as well as a high-EGT warning light that can be set at an user defined level (currently at 1300*F)
None whatsoever, the electric cooling fan is controlled by a thermostatic switch and functions autonomously.
Yes, the rear main seal leaks. I have a new seal and plan on installing it next weekend (not this weekend) when I repmedy the park situation in the trans
Yes, even thought the truck was not factory equipped with lockers, it is wired up and functions exactly like stock with all stock components.
Yes, but no pin-7 mod
The transmission shifts perfectly smooth and functions flawlessly.
Also, I just purchased some lightly used 315/70-17 BFG All Terrains and FJ Cruiser Steelies. I will be installing them on the truck this weekend and taking updated pictures.

No idea why people aren't jumping on this. It's one of my favorites on the board!!! White, cloth, locked, diesel, lifted, and priced reasonably!
Only reason it's not in my driveway is beacaue I still have a cruiser I need roger rid of first to make room!
Bump for a great rig. GLWS and the house! Nice truck BTW.

Thanks guys... I have good news about the house, FEMA helped us out a bit, so things aren't looking as bad as I originally thought.
Also need to take new pics of the truck. I put some used FJ Cruiser Steelies with used Raptor 315/70-17 BFGs on it, much nicer ride than the Military tires.

I edited the original post with the new pictures.
After reading the entire build thread, I am amazed this truck hasn't sold yet.
If I had the luck and patience (to deal with California registering it which I believe is possible), the time (to bring it out here), and the space (I'd need to sell my 40 first), I would be all over it. This truck has basically everything I could want in an 80 series.
Good luck with the sale.
