I bought this old girl in April of 2009. She had a good life for the most part. A little rusty in the rear but overall a great running truck. For 3 years I built her up and loved on her and catting her around town. I took her to Hot Springs once but mostly she was just a toy.
I decided I wanted an 80, so she got sold locally and I never saw her again.
(For Sale thread in December 2009)
For Sale - Fully Built 1984 FJ-60 For Sale-$9000 OBO
Until she turned back up. Unused. 1800 miles in 5 years. March 2015 I was able to buy her back and therefore began to bring her back to life with 222,924 on the clock........
Cool bit of trivia....this truck shipped to Colorado in 3/84 and sold 1/85.......I remember seeing them on the lot when I was 15 and driving a 84 Xtra Cab and thinking....why would anyone want one of those turds......
She is the best Cruiser Ive ever owned but the oil consumption has become an issue. I said I would replace the motor once it became an embarrassment to drive. That happened and it is time.
Today I began the takedown for a new heart transplant
Edit: July 2019 I start the swap from AFI to a Holley Sniper so this thread will have info on both systems
