So I'm currently a student at OIT studying mechanical engineering in Klamath Falls OR and I'm thinking about picking up an fj60. My purpose for the vehicle would be exploring around beautiful southern OR, getting back into trail heads for hiking/mountain biking/fishing etc, winter treks in the mountains for snowshoeing, and it would be my winter daily driver.
My question is what should I look for in an fj60???? I've always been a toyota guy but 2wd sport trucks have been my thing so I'm not at all familiar with landcruisers or most 4wd's for that matter.
The fj60 I'm looking at has 143,000 orig miles, straight, virtually no rust, 3 owners with maitenence records, and is unmodified. The manual choke sticks sometimes and it has an exhaust leak at the donut. Brand new tires and everything works. The guy only want $1,800 for it which seems like a deal too me. What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance for everyone's help. Hopefully my car will sell soon so I can pick this thing up.
