Time to buy!

[Carp]

I haven't tried to call them back recently. I'll give it a try today, if I can find the info.

Thanks for the reminder!

Looking at the dark side huh. did that truck I sent you info on awhile back ever sell? Seemed like a lot of truck for $2500.

Emailed the guy yesterday, he kept the truck. Too much truck for the money.

Does anyone know of somebody near Denver CO that you trust to look at a truck for me? I may have found a 60 out there, and may get someone's unbiased opinion on it, assuming it lasts to my spot in line. I don't mind asking someone from one of the local clubs, but thought I'd try the 2 degrees of separation first.

Thanks!

Learn from my mistake and do not buy anything sight unseen. Inspection really needs to be by someone who knows what to look for...honestly- I will not buy anything unless I myself can see it. The right one will pop up- I am looking for another 60 and will send some your way as my timeline is now far off. Check the Iwanna. I thought I saw an 86 in ashville.

 

[Carp]

Thanks for the advice. I always get impatient, and usually regret it later. Hopefully, I can bide my time...

As for the 86 in the Iwanna, it's already sold.

If you need someone near Denver that is really knowledgable and used to drive a 60 series, let me know. Ige is out there and I'd trust her to inspect anything on wheels for me.

There was a white 62 for sale in spartanburg last week on craigslist. I'll see if I can find it again.

 

[boombapslappy]

Didn't find the white one but here's a gray in Charleston...

J-Bo, Thanks for the cruiser. I've seen that one on Craigslist before.

I have finally put the restrictions on my search, so maybe it'll be easier to find a truck.

The truck will be used mostly for wheeling, camping, and tailgating during football season. Scratches, small dents, and a little rust are OK. I have up to $3k to spend on a stock truck, would prefer to spend less so there is money left for baselining and mods. Could convince the to stretch to $4k for a modified truck (lift, tires, bumpers, winch, lockers, etc. any or all are acceptable). Anything local is better, because travel funds cut into Cruiser budget. I am open to most any truck but my preferred order is this:

1. FJ60
2. F(Z)J80
3. FJ55
3. FJ62

I don't know why, but I like the 62 the least. I won't even put the hundy in there, cause I can't afford one.

Thank you all for your help so far, and I hope to get this settled in the near future.

i am thinking about selling my 62.... let me know if you are interested.

 

[boombapslappy]

Don't tease...anything's possible. Let us know what you're thinking. I'm not just shopping for Carp.

 

[Carp]

Juice, thanks for the links. #5 and 7 are already sold. I always seem to call when someone is on their way to look at it...

As much as I want one, I can't justify a 40 now. I'm gonna check on the others today... Will keep everyone posted.

Swampy, what you got?

 

[swampyCU]

I got a 1988 fj62 with 236k. it is two tone blue and gray (ive painted the very bottom of the sides, grille and bumper black) with 2" extended shackles, add-a-leafs in the rear + some for the front not installed, hellas on the front, a home-made storage unit in the back. it has a few dents and scratches, but not much rust. it will be in the less-than-3500 category, but i am not exactly sure on the price that i would ask yet. if you are interested, let me know. i need to install shocks, clean it up a bit and decide on an asking price. I am located in North Augusta, SC (~2.5 hrs south of Greenville) Below is the best up-to-date picture i have here at work. If you are interested i can give you more details and better pictures.
