SO, I've been debating for a while and here it is.
SOLD!
1987 FJ60, 300k on the vehicle.
5.7 Vortec V8 from a wrecked 1999 Tahoe (32k at install, nearly 50k miles as of today)
The Vortec swap IS CALIFORNIA LEGAL!!!! NO, I repeat, NO issues registering/getting a smog check.
H-55 (factory new unit installed winter 2005)
Rebuilt T-Case during H-55 install
OME/Dakkar lift
Optima red top
IPF H-4 conversions with IPF harness
Tuffy Console
Volvo seats from 2002 S-60
BFG 33" AT-KO tires (50% left) on stock powder coated wheels (black)
Kaymar rear bumper
SROR Sliders with my outside tubes
Front bumper with winch/recovery points by me.
Damplifier sound deadening throughout interior
Tint
Kenwood head unit with IPOD interface (controlled through head unit, IPOD stays locked in Tuffy Console)
Pioneer 6 1/2" speakers in front doors as well as cargo area
Sony 10" sub in cargo area.
Yakima racks
FJ62 passenger grab bar (the one over the glove box)
4-Runner Calipers
K&N air filter
Tie rod ends replaced about three years ago (late 2005, IIRC)
Knuckles rebuilt this past winter
Oil changes regularly (conventional 10W30)
Mobil one in T-case
Mobil one in Transmission
Royal purple in differentials
I'm sure there's lots of other stuff I'm forgetting, but that's the basics.
As to the bad stuff:
A/C compressor took a dump a couple of weeks ago and the fan/blower crapped out a couple of days ago
I may or may not have those issues fixed before selling.
Paint is faded/oxidized
There are some dents
There is some surface rust inside the driver's side A-pillar
There is no headliner, but the roof has been covered with Damplifier
Carpet in not trashed, but it ain't clean either
Windshield has chips that have been professionally repaired (came with the cruiser when I bought it several years ago)
Yes, it has been offroad. I've been accused of driving it in Baja like I was Parnelli Jones
I'm asking $5500.00 CASH as it sits right now.
I consider this to be a VERY fair price considering the time/effort/money I've put into it. Just the Vortec Swap cost way over that amount.
Vehicle is located in SoCal (I live in Van Nuys and work in Culver City). I drive it every day, and that is what is leading me to sell it. I need a better suited vehicle for commuting. When time/money permits, then I'll have another one to build
Please no trades and no low-ballers. I have not listed this ANYWHERE else, MUD only so please be respectful.
