Later 748s & 99#s, mid '70s and mid '90s SuperSports. I already have a Monster and a Paso, so I'm not looking for either of those - that applies to STs as well (no offense). There are certain other bikes I may consider, too. Oh - or possibly a (running) 2V +900cc engine (out of a Supersport?). So if anybody's wallopped their SS, I may even have a use for that.
As to the truck:
1972 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40
(older pics circa 1999?)
- Stock 256ci I6, 3spd manual, twin-stick 4x4 (one for transmission, one for transfer case)
- 0mi 33x10.50x15 Interco Super Swampers on black RockCrawler rims, includes full-sized matching spare (the truck came on 33x12.50 Laredos which helped destroy the steering - which has been rebuilt)
- Yes, a 3" body lift
- 4-point roll cage
- One jump seat in back, two buckets out of an old Ford Tbird up front
- All new brake system - everything except one hardline (includes drums at each corner, master cylinder, all 8 wheel cylinders (yes, 2 to each wheel), springs, shoes, all but one hard line, and stainless steel lines where applicable.
- Rebuilt steering - new tie rod ends, Old Man Emu steering stabilizer - no, there is
- no
- power steering.
- Rebuilt electrical - Bosch Blue coil, etc
- Convertible - no hardtop. The doors have been clipped and welded (no glass, so no upper supports); the rear door has also been welded (and painted).
- Comes with some new OEM/NOS parts not installed:
- OEM tail lights
- Poly gas tank
- Hi-Jack fender/running board mount
- Others, but I forget what's out there
- Comes with tons of literature, including factory chassis and mechanical manuals, Haynes manual, parts suppliers & catalogues, etc etc
- Plus whatever related items I have floating around out there - don't remember off the top of my head.
It puts the "utility" back into SUV. It's not without its little idiosyncrasies, sure, but it depends where you want to go with it (restore vs rockhopper, etc?). I would replace/relocate the current muffler: someone decided to go with dual exhaust - which sounds great - but they put the muffler directly above the rear pumpkin. It's fine for normal everyday use, but not if you want to take it anywhere bumpier than a gravel driveway, IMO. I'm sure there are other things - it is 33 years old.
I'm asking $3500/obo and will consider some trades (also to be approved by mrs. fasterdammit). I'm getting rid of it because if it's nice enough to be in a convertible without my kid (no room for a car seat) then I'm going to be on a motorcycle. Plus it will feed my two-wheeled habit. Win-win!
Anyway, IM/PM/email me w/ questions, offers, whatever.
