Back on the market. Please understand that this is not a 200 with 50k miles on it. There has been a lot of work done but as with these trucks, they can always be taken to the next level. Case in point, steers fine, tracks great does not wander but eventually a Red Head steering box would be nice. Everything is functional but not showroom condition. Hopefully the pictures show the true state if it, which is very good. I have noticed that some people become enamored with the idea of something and wistfully discard the realities associated with the act of owning that something. I you are looking at FJ80's or older then you are likely a gear head. Gear heads are who these vehicles need to be in the hands of. Other people will not understand and likely not be able to cope with ownership of vehicles like the classic land crushers. Nuff said.
Bought from a friend about a year ago. It was her primary driver for over 10 years. I knew the car well and what it needed so after roughly 6500 dollars in parts and uncounted hours of labor over the last year it is pretty much done. Was going to use it with the refurbished Hewes Craft boat to access smaller more remote lakes for fishing or for beach launches. This only has the center lock. Was going to put ARB's front and rear like my neighbor did in his FJ60 but the funds got repurposed. Think we've all been there.
289k miles, no rust. Asking $14,900.
