Ha! from the CL post on that 55: "this one is pretty clean and shouldn't take a lot to get really nice"

Boy, I'd sure hate to see one that would take a lot of work. What, just a picture of an empty lot with some FJ wheels in it with a VIN tag and a title? "All you need is a clean frame, body, drivetrain, electrics, suspension, interior, glass, fresh paint and she'll be as good as it gets. These old 'yotas are hard to find, this one has just a little bit of rust, making the entire vehicle hard to see in the pictures. I bought this baby 25 years ago for a song, turned it into the gloriously rusted out piece of shit you see before you and would now like to stake my claim in the FJ gold rush. Should be ULTRA reliable once YOU do EVERYTHING!! 16K firm. NO scammers or low-ballers!!! Don't waste MY time."

I can think of better ways to spend my money, but I can't deny the bad-ass factor of these trucks.

some units I was watching that sold, i have learned my lesson on some fly, buy, drive deals so I'm not too quick to pull the trigger

That middle one looked pretty decent.... although the rust worries me..... also not too sure i could buy a car from a guy named "Pyrokid" haha

A guy down the road from me has two 60 series LC's sitting in his driveway and not doing much of anything. Every time i walk the dog by i'm very very tempted to knock on his door and try to get one..... this thread doesn't help

I'm on the fence about unloading a 96 with the e diff locks, stock, 170k miles, body and paint decent except missing end caps on running boards, interior ok, small worn spot on driver seat, ac charged and running well, recall replacing brake cyl but nothing else. And it's red
What would price police say?

It's worthless. You're in the Valley, right? I'm across the mountain. Put it in my driveway and I'll dispose of it properly.

Seriously, though. How much you thinking?

After much deliberation, we are going to put our 1991 Land Cruiser on the market. We're going to use the money for fixing up our Westy.

Pics to follow ASAP. Land Cruiser Maroon.

190K
Automatic transmission
stock differential lock
tires pretty new
just put new thermostat in
leak somewhere in power steering
pesky heater hose problem recently fixed
we have the third row jump seats
needs seat covers

I'm thinking probably $5K in the paper next week and some sort of mag deal well below that.

You're doing it wrong. Sell the Westy and keep the LC. I had a few FJ55's years ago and turned one into the greatest go anywhere stealth rv. I pulled the back seat and made a flat floor with hinged panels to access the now open space. I built a box that ran the length of the drivers side from the front seat to the tailgate and put a 5 gallon fresh water tank hooked up to a hand pump and sink with a drain hose that went to the outside when the door was open slightly and by the gate I put a hole in the counter top that a propane stove sat in. Mine had an electric back window so I could open it an inch or two to vent the gas when I used the stove. I had lots of hidden storage in the space under the floor and more than enough room to lay flat for comfortable sleeping.

This sounds like an amazing deal and I'm very tempted to jump, but my rational side tells me I don't really need this vehicle at this point in my life. Damn, it would be fun.

Someone here should grab this opportunity.

That's what it is... an opportunity. A little TLC and it could be really nice. After all, the platform is solid. I'm in Moose right now and the LC is in town. Pics this PM.

This is so tempting...

I'm gonna sell my black one after the eclipse. It's a 96 black edition with 165k miles, fox shocks, ome medium springs, and 80% Cooper st maxx 33". No magic locker button, but I have a lunch box locker I can toss in the rear if you want.
Here is a little teaser...

what has your incremental rate of change looked like insurance wise for each vehicle procured?

It's always swaps not additions.

Basinbeaters rig sounds nice but SLC is a little bit of a haul for me right now. A Utah or Coloradbro mag should snag it.

I'm could fly back to SLC instead of Seattle in three weeks and drive it if you need it. Haven't bought tickets yet
