Buy it. Even Dana says buy it.

Hey Dana, Congrats!!

Since you love 60's i say go for it. Other than it being too tall, and a tad expensive, I dont think you will be disappointed, its about as nice of a 60 as you will find.

I agree and agree. The height I'm not too worried about because a change of springs could fix that, plus it wouldn't be for wheelin.

Gorgeous truck! Do you really need two wheeling rigs? If you are buying it for DD duties do you really need a lifted truck that will need regular maintenance? It is definitely cool, but make sure you eyes are wide open at that price since it would be hard to walk away from without a loss.

I'm saying walk away from it. You need another 60 like you need a hole in your head. Remember how tippy your 62 was in a slight curve now you want a lifted one?

Too much money for that truck IMHO. Why are there pieces of tube between the trans crossmember and the frame? The exhaust looks about ready to rot completely out. Needs a new driver's seat cushion. Other details also just don't add up to a $6k truck. Lot's of miles too.

Looks nice and I guess if you consider it's cheaper to fix mechanical problems than do bodywork maybe it's an ok deal. I think I'd look elsewhere (non-Land Cruiser) for a DD though.

I can't say I've ever seen a $7500 60 series. Tony's was pretty close.

Get an 80 for less. If you think you liked driving a 60...

 

[Gappy]

Thanks for all the input...seriously!!

It would NOT be for wheeling.
The 40 stays as is to wheel (except for a fresh windshield).
It would NOT be a DD.
Somewhat of a long short story, I could explain better sitting around a campfire with a JD in hand.

I am a sucker for 60's. But after reading your comments and throw in a little bit of realism, for its intended use, a FZJ80 is definately a better fit for what we need. For the same moneys ($6K) I could find a very nice FZJ.

I'm not in a hurry so time IS on my side.

I am wise..............to get the opinion of those that are wiser!!

Buy my 80 and I'll buy the 60. But not that one and def not for that $

 

[Tofudebeest]

Looks awesome, hate the mirrors. WHY do people do that!?

 

[4rnr]

Knowing you, you will hate an 80, its the oppsite of what you are looking for.

 

[Tofudebeest]

Really? I'll bite...what am I looking for?
