***SOLD*** Thanks for all the interest, hopefully I can get her back someday!
This is my dream rig. It's a 1982 FJ40, professionally converted to the much coveted 12H-T diesel engine and mated to a H55F 5sp transmission. This truck only has 5000 miles on it since it's build of pure awesomeness. I swore I would never part with it, but the impending arrival of our first child isn't leaving me with much choice at this point. Some slight surface rust in places, no cancer at all. The drivers seat has a 3-4 inch tear in it. Those are all slight cosmetic issues, though.. the mechanicals are pristine and drool-worthy. Big amazing diesel, fully resealed (low miles on the engine prior to the rework ,and those of you in the know definitely know how these engines can run for 300-400K miles before needing a rebuild). Dual fuel tank system. Dual electrical systems. Warn locking hubs.
*This Rig is titled as a diesel!*
I had the rig professionally appraised by Automotive Appraisal Services, the same firm that deals with Icon down in SoCal. The rig appraised at ~$45,000, which is clearly much more than I am listing it at. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions, want to come by and see it, or would like to see more photos.
Rock on.
