Observer
This is a super clean rig with a LOT of extras. Everything works as it should, clean title, NYS registered and inspected. Very very well maintained. I have poured my heart and soul, blood, sweat and tears, and a ton of time and loving attention into this truck. It pains me to let it go but I'm turning 65 and my priorities are changing.

All 4 tires end up at the exact same pressure.



Interior:

I bought the truck without the under-hood air conditioning system. Missing components were replaced with new - 2014. AC worked great but needs a recharge at the moment.

The Bad:

Springs are very flexy, which is great for getting the axles all twisted up in the rocks but can lead to lots of body roll in off camber situations. I have the OEM sway bar that can be reinstalled.

Holes in transmission hump for the twin stick shifters could be made tighter to lessen noise intrusion.

Transfer case fill plug hole has partially stripped threads. I have been using an expandable rubber stopper (an known solution) without any leak issues.

Some ripples and shallow dents in the body from previous wheeling.

Extras:
I will include all of the FJ60 specific spare parts that I have here.

$32,000

This is crazy. I see so many rigs on here with a tent bolted to the top. This rig looks to be well built with mods that actually work. It's got fuel injection on a crazy reliable engine, lockers, a crawl box, solid suspension... and it seems as though the owner has actually put good useful miles on this setup after modifying to ensure it works. I agree with @hudd07 . Post over on IH8MUD and this will sell quickly. That's a Land Cruiser specific site with members who rock crawl.
