Goldbug
SILVER Star
I live in RI and am about to become a first time FJ owner. The vehicle out west, and has a recently rebuilt f1.5 engine from a 1975 iron pig installed. However, he also has the original 2F engine, and is going to include that. I'm debating two things:
1. Do I drive out, perhaps with my 7 year old in my 4Runner and tow it back or ship it? It has a connection on the front bumper for a tow and PO has towed it before. Assuming this isn't bad for the FJ? Would be 2,500 miles though.
2. Is it crazy to have the spare engine in the back during the trip whether I tow it or have it shipped? He said he's done it before, moving from one state to another, and I'd plan to secure it as well as humanly possible with tie downs, 2x4s, etc.
Thanks, excited to embark on my FJ journey!
