1971 Land Cruiser FJ55 ARB, custom bumpers, original mileage

[BulletHead]

I bought it and was in the process of building it into an expedition vehicle but other priorities are forcing me to sell. This is an original mileage vehicle with only 18k documented miles. It has history with the LC community and is very very well known to all the LC enthusiasts. It was also featured in the Land Cruiser magazine, TLCA's Toyota Trails in July 2003 I believe. I will list a short list of the mods of the top of my head but I am sure there are things I am missing. It is located a little north of NYC, it used to be at my place in Phoenix AZ until a couple of months ago. Shipping can be arranged by me. I am happy to show it to you in person, Please PM me for more info.

6500 hits on this thread and no sale. Incredible.

6500 hits puts this thread in the top 15 of the "For Sale" threads on the ExPo website.

6500 hits places between Mike Hiscox's CamperMog (my all-time fave), and DaktariEd's Pinz (another fave). Somewhere else up there in the rarified aire of that level of hitcount is Adventureduo's Sportsmobile ('nother goodie). Just so you know.








Disclaimer: I am responsible for many of the hits on all of these posts as I read and re-read them. Sorry.

[BulletHead]

What can I say? lots of tire kickers around.

[BulletHead]

Sold.

Wilbur is on its way being exported out of the US.

[irish_11]

congrats on the sale, that was/is one clean looking 55

[AmericaOverland]

:faint:

I was too late... I only found out about this today when it popped up... Oh well. I'm sure there will be others.

Absolutely nice looking trucks!
