For Sale Opinions on this '79

All-

Can you give me some opinions on this 79 FJ40; has HFS Leaf Springs, Shackles and Shocks.

Looking for general comments/thoughts on condition and anything that jumps out.

Thanks in advance.

I don't like the idea of buying from far away, and especially not Ebay where you can so easily be deceived. They can simply make a video of a superior rig saying it's the one for sale and send you a pos. For $31,500 I would never buy sight unseen. Or you can travel all the way over to where it is and then have someone else buy it out from under you after you have time and money invested in it. I guess what I am saying is buyer beware.

I hear your concerns and shared them when I bought this from across the country. It's actually why I did so via Ebay, so that I would have the buyer protection guarantee. I also used my credit card. The price is now lower, but as the seller (and originally the buyer), I know this is a great rig.

Good thing it worked out for you.

Agreed. It's harder now to find any that haven't been put together like Frankenstein. Harder and harder to find any that haven't been too messed with.

Cruiser Gods, I have done a poor job of documenting my past projects, so for this impulse buy, I have decided to document as much as possible. This is my first 40 series project, it is apparent I will need to enlist the help of the MUD community. I have wanted my own FJ40 since i was a little...

I absolutely love it. @TheRealFJ40 was a great owner and I am 100% satisfied with the cruiser. He was was complexity forthcoming about the condition, he stood back and let the cruiser speak for itself under close inspection. I could not be happier.
