Ha! Will send pics one's it's bought and paid for. Almost didn't post up as I'm sure people are sick of my antics.

I had it narrowed down to 6 FJ55's. Found a clean one at a great price. Having it inspected by a mechanic and bodyshop tomorrow. Hoping to get it here this weekend.

It's sprung over which will need to go back to spring under so anyone who wants to do the work will get a free Hysteer system (KIna??) Might have to find out where RedFJ got his sticker in Andover with a spring over lift.....would save me some trouble. My friend is a Statie and he said there are many cops who will bust balls over it.

Pretty excited about it. Definitely caught the swine flu.

Will likely keep it for a while. I have zero time for this stuff anymore and pigs aren't the easiest things to sell!
 
awesome john i would not worry about inspection there is always some one who will pass it;)

comps usually wont pull you over unless your truck looks ridiculous if it looks nice and not hacked they usually leave you alone:D
 
If anyone has the magic inspection station, I'd be happy to go there. Don't really wanna pay to get it spring under. The lift doesn't look that high. In fact, i thought it was srping under till I saw the high steer notation
 
Magic inspection station

02143 aris - Google Maps

GMaps sez it's closed. I think it may have changed names recently. I haven't had to bring them anything, but I hear if it's really bad, they like Heineken. BTW, Nate got passed there and didn't have to bring them anything.

That's where I'm going the first of next month. I'll try to get a muffler on there before then. Your luck may vary... and it's not real close to you.
 
The pig is almost in the pen.....

Farm Raised....Mmmmm.....

rear locker, 2F, 4 speed, 4 wheel discs, swampers, very minimal rust, interior near perfect (dash and headliner are perfect) and a pig shizz paint job that I won't mind scratching up. I feel the color reflects my true inner self; ugly.:pig:

Lived in TX it's whole life until 3 years ago.

Rockers were cut out for sliders that were never installed. Pulling a favor from Randy soon to fab up something pretty that I won't want to scratch.

Suuueeet!! Nice find
 
Wasn't advertised anywhere except for the sign in the window. Someone posted it in the 55 section because their friend drove by it and snapped some photos. Looked too good to be true but got it inspected and got the pics and it looks great. For the price I pad, even if there is bondo in it, it will still be a steal.

It has HiSteer in it and I have a 70 series and a 60 series PS box here at the house...which would work best on it??
 
So who's in on the pool?
I say it's flipped in 4.5 months.

sweet pig. I don t know him that well but if he just drives it to and from like he did with the 70 to kinas then he should have no problem keeping it on all four. course icey snowy roads are not that far off. I say middle of winter.
 
As mentioned, I have no time for flipping anymore. That said, nobody buys trucks in Dec/Jan when Lane is guessing so I'll take his bet at 9 months.

Nobody buys pigs and they are the toughest to sell so I'm sorta wedging myself in here with this one....it makes th most sense with the family trips etc. If an LV comes along and I start selling some wine, this will be gone but that's about it. Anyone who reads the papers or is alive knows the economy is crap especially in the wine business so cash will be tight for a long time. LV's are recessionproof though....

Not true, 25's are. If you took me up on a trade the 25 would end your flipping days forever. :p

Oh yeah, nice pig, doesn't look that tall, I'd fight the law and try to keep it as is.
 
It measured out at 77 inches and stock height is 73.4 so I think I'm good as I get 4" over stock between the lift and the tires allowable by MA law. Still going to a shady sticker place

You're 100% right about the 25's. Forgot about them! (sorry)
 
Actually getting picked up tomorrow nite so should have it by Sunday
 
Not being picked up now. My cashiers check is in processing. The owner was going to let me pick up the truck now and send the title after the check clears. His wife found out about our idea and freaked out AFTER I already scheduled the pickup for 5pm today. Bummer. Anyone who is married would understand so no big deal. Soon Ralph, soon.

Anyway, my 70 had a cool sticker on the back that said "MADE TO RESCUE JEEPS" I liked the ball busting aspect of it so I had 100 made up on a sticker site on the interwebs. Should be here soon. I'll have 99 left over so I'll sell them for $1.50 each including postage if anyone wants one. I'll bring them to the FG too.
