Gotta sell my 1971 FJ55.
Bought a couple years back aiming to make is a weekend cruiser and light camping truck.
HERE'S the build thread.
$12,000 obo
It's got:
New tires (Toyo Open Country A/T 235/75/15)
New distributor
New coil
New plugs/wires
2 groove pulley
4sp split case swap w/new clutch
Tom Woods front and rear driveshafts
Mosley Holley Sniper kit
New brake booster
New master cylinder
New clutch master
New pads
New brake cylinders
Tpi ceramic header
2.5inch exhaust
Scat ProCar front seats
New windshield
Cargo rack (Amazon special)
Rear window works
Clean FL title.
It runs and drives and stops. The battery died a bit ago so the Sniper will need recalibrating, but it "learns" pretty quickly. I pulled the mechanical fan and let the Sniper trigger an electric pusher (Spal) but have all the old mech fan stuff and shroud. Odometer says 38578 but I'm not sure that's original. Title listed mileage as exempt.
Drums could use a turn or replacing but the truck stops fine. T-Case and 4sp shifts smoothly. Engine pulls strong. I pulled the main caps to check bearing wear and everything looked good (see thread).
It's got some rust on the sills. I sealed as many holes as I could find. It's got new window seals, the door weatherstripping is good (it seals) but the foam padding is pulling from it. Original as I can tell headliner that front doors do sag a tad but latch fine. I've just cleaned and left the tears on the A-pillars. Patched a hole in the floor pan and painted the floors with herculiner.
