It starts every single time. I have taken it on multiple highway trips. With the 4.88s comfortable cruising speed is about 56 mph. The body has a bit of rust starting on the front bib, a body seem underneath needs some attention and the rear 1/4s have had new metal welded over them by the PO. The frame is gorgeous - I don't think there is any actual rust on it.

This thing is daily driveable right now. The only thing I would replace in the near future is the brake master cylinder due to a slight leak and when I do this I would upgrade to vacuum assisted brakes. It still has the 1970 style master with no brake booster. I never bothered to swap because it stopped great. The emergency brake works, but these old T-cases had a tendency to leak past the splines on the rear output and lube up the e-brake pads which is obviously not ideal. Removing the parking brake drum and cleaning the pads fixes it for a while but once they get lubed up again the e-brake stops working. The body has dings and scrapes all over it - it was a rig that got used. All in all I think it is a super solid rig. It needs a fresh set of enthusiastic eyeballs to put her to good use again!!


STUFF THAT I HAVE DONE OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS....
-SOA lift with stock front springs and fj60 rear springs in the rear
-Relocated shocks with some long skyjackers upfront and 12" travel bilsteins in back.
-Anti-wrap bar on the rear axle.
-Rear disc brakes using Poser's rear disc brake brackets.
-Front knuckles with disc brakes from a 1985 mini-truck (large pattern steering arms and bigger birfield)
-fj60 steering box with crossover high steer using fj80 tie rod ends.
-Saginaw power steering pump - this leaks at the high pressure line. It's a brand new line but something isnt quite right.
-Tuffy Center console with an old CD player in it.
- 35x12.50 BFG mud terrains with old BFG all terrain spare.
-New OEM water pump
-New Thermostat (there wasn't one in it??)
-New OEM clutch master and slave cylinder.
-Soft top with doors
-Bikini top
-Aluminum half doors
-Hard-top with hard doors. Almost all the pieces are there but they are different colors. I think a back door is missing? I'll have to check. And the glass needs to be put back in one of the sides.

STUFF THAT WAS DONE ACCORDING TO THE PO...
-Rebuilt Non-usa spec 2f. No leaks. Starts perfectly everytime. Doesn't burn oil or coolant. Runs at perfect temperature and makes great power...for a 2f.
-Non-Usa spec carb.
-Jim C. recurved dizzy.
-Desmogged
-Safari Snorkel
-Rebuilt 4spd transmission mated to 3spd transfer case with transfer case parking brake. This is a noisy combo, but it shifts well and never comes out of gear.
-4.88 gears with an ARB air locker in the rear
-ARB compressor under the hood.
-New EZ wiring harness
-Roll cage
-Swing-out tire carrier
-Autometer gauges. The speedometer broke and the gas gauge reads funny.

 

Bump for a price drop to 6500. Trades?!?!
