I figured I would go ahead and post these PM's. Since alot of questions being asked are covered within them. Again at this point looking to see if its sold or not and more pics. If its not and I can get him down to $2500 I may just have to see if I can twist the wifes are a little and tell her what a smokin' deal it is
This is the first PM he sent me.
Mathew, Sorry about the delay in my response.
The FJ-40 is sprung over with turned knuckles and high steer competed. The steering box is manual not power steering, although it turns well with 38's on it. The original spring under perches are stll there. You can roll and steer it, I've done it a couple of times to get it on the trailer.
Completed;
The drive-trane is in the Yota. Engine Longblock <30,000 miles on an 1-F, not rebuilt, original miles. The engine is attatched to an SM-420 Granny low tranny, with advanced adapter to the stock Yota 4-speed T-case. All installed in the Yota. New gaskets, sealss, and new clutch and throw-out bearing. You will need to put on and hook up the engine ancillaries. This is what I have;
-brand new in the box, Weber carb still shrink wrapped
-all the original ancillaries, except the distributor (which I'm hoping to find in my friends overstuffed garage,)
you will need spark plugs, hoses, nutts and bolts (although I have a box full of bolts to go with it).
The original radiator is there, but looks like it needs to be replaced.
The interior is stripped, no carpet, seats, but dash and gauges are still in place, steering column, pedals, all in place.
Rust has been completely removed, i.e. cut out of rear fenders, and aluminum diamond plated. There is surface rust on the floor boards up front, but not through rudted. The hard doors and top have surface rust, but no through rust. The driver's side door as a gash in it about 3"es long, looks like someone hit it with a hatchet. The rear ambulance door have through rust on bottom of doors. The running boards are good, no through rust, the fenders are good no through rust. has headlights, although I haven't found the bezels for the lights, again, they may be in his garage. there aren't any tail lights either.
The frame looks good, no through rust that I've seen. the front has been stripped and painted.
The axles are complete and installed. Have 4:10 gears, pwertrax no slip lockers front and rear (brand new never used), i think the seals and bearings are all new. The rear brakes are rebuilt, never used. The fronts have new calipers that need to be installed, and I think the rotors are new too. You will need brake lines. the front axle was stripped of paint, and repainted, the rear axle was partially strpped of it's paint.
You will need exhaust, and i haven't found the exhaust manifold yet, but prob. in his garage.
The tires are completely bald, the ones in the pics were sold with the rims. The bald TSLs all hold air though, and are good rollers to get it on a trailer, even to flat tow it if you wanted.
The rims are 15x8 black rock crawlers. they are in good shape.
The d-shafts will need to be lengthened. i have both of the originals. The spring over was done with flipped springs to lengthen wheel base.
There is a front bumper, and i have a tow bar I can put on it for you to flat tow it if you want for an extra $100.
All the windows are there, and all the seals look good. the original faded paint remains on the Yota.
I have the original front seats, and one jump seat. I also have some newer Jeep seats that go with it too.
I hope this helps you. I think it's an excellent project, that just needs alot of bolt on type work. most parts are there, some expensive brand new parts like the weber. I will continue to look for the missing parts in my friends garage. But I think I've priced it fairly without even having those parts with it.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
So if this is a no from her or its sold it looks like the 62 will just get built up more. Which might be best at this point in my life. 
it may be true more people build 40's most likely because of their short wheelbase and more compact size for the trail but from what I have seen, nice built 60 series fetch a pretty penny too....... and as we all know regardless of what cruiser you build you will never get your money back out of it
