Thanks. I bet that was a CB antenna hole, didn't even notice that. Nothing wrong with 4+ bumpers right? I haven't seen them in person but always thought I'd like their front bumper and rear dual swing out with a cooler rack.

He makes great stuff. I put one on the front of my truck to replace the chrome bumper that had a custom paint job over the top. I was just saying that it's nothing special in the way of availability and you can get it aftermarket for anything you buy.

Pretty sure I've asked before but I couldn't find in the thread. What's the story on the guy in Carrollton that has about 10 40s listed on craigslist at any given time?

They're all in various states of junkiness. Is this the guy way up the tollway or the guy right north of Addison? Either way same story different verse. I went and looked at both of them.

Didn't know there was two guys like that in that area. Here are some of his current listings. Looks like the same background in all these pics:

This one actually seems well done. Looks like he wheels his other 40 good.

That's kind of you to say; and FWIW, I do believe the claims about the truck and that it just came out of the original owners barn only because I knew about it before all this transpired and the current seller bought it. It's a neat little origins 40; what it's worth remains to be seen- so far $12k.

That guys has a very nice '78 that he's keeping and he's tried to shop this '71 previously. It was his first cruiser which he bought in Louisiana and drove back to Dallas. Original color was spring green and he single stage sprayed it the olive color. It's kinda unfortunate in my opinion. I like spring green way more than olive. The truck is in great condition. He and his son will flip 40 series cruisers occasionally. Wagon wheels are valuable but OEM on '79 and older cruisers. The son is a male model. Let's pray his friends never get into a freak gasoline fight accident.

I saw a survivor late '70's FJ40 in Marfa this week. I felt like a jackass taking pics but I'll post them up when I get back to normal service. It was clean with great patina.

Sheesh. Saw a demo '17 Landcruiser today at the local dealership. Still $87k.

I think I've just decided to have you find my 40 for me when I get ready. I'd be bugging you for advice about every one I found anyway.

That's the sticker price. That shouldn't bring more than $78K. Probably less since it's a '17 and has demo miles.

The 100 that replaced the 80:






2006 (VVTi) Land Cruiser. Bought it with a questionable history from a questionable dealership (recipe for disaster but see username) however it was the cheapest 80 I could find in the continental 48. It showed as one owner on the carfax but googling the VIN also showed it was sold by the Baltimore police department last year - some type of seizure then it went unclaimed? Maryland is in the rust belt so I knew that was going to be an issue. I did have it inspected by an independent shop prior to purchase and they stated it all looked good and that they could recommend a purchase. That all sounded good...

Upon receipt I confirmed it had some rust - and that the shady dealership sprayed black paint over it where they could. But it's not terribly bad rust, it was worse on the 80 I had. Ignition switch is not original, probably had to replace due to whatever landed it in the impound yard. Prior owner was a smoker - in fact I found facebook photos of him smoking big fat cigars in the Cruiser. I found him on facebook after discoveringsome paperwork in the glove box, it was paperwork showing he bought a very expensive service and warranty contract from Toyota when he purchased the truck. Toyota record also show lots of service performed up until around 120K miles (195K on it now). Smoke and rust are bad things but it really runs nice I haven't found any mechanical issues with it yet. I already had new headers and exhaust installed (it needed new exhaust, did not need headers and that was expensive: see username), but not looking at any near term modifications other than removing the running boards. The active height control system still works, but those are known to go bad - might have to rip and replace with conventional somewhere down the road. Need to replace a couple blown speakers and install the bluetooth module, but those are fairly inexpensive things I can do myself.

How did you find your 43? It looks really clean in pictures. There's a Texan on Mud that finds and resells Cruisers. N2 Cruisers or something like that. Any idea if he's good or worth his fee?

I've got an itch for a nice 43. I've built a few on The FJ Company's web page. I've thought about putting down a deposit and figuring out how to tell my wife over the next year while it's built. It would be a lot easier to buy a fairly clean one under the premise it's for our 6 year old (when he can drive) and let mission creep takeover from there.

The person you're asking about is exactly who I bought from. He asked me to let him know if I heard of anyone looking to buy. He has nice trucks. If you've read the entire thread you probably realize I looked at almost every landcruiser that was for sale in the DFW area and some more across Texas. I had a flight booked to South Carolina to buy one and the guy sold it from under me. After running all the traps I came back to the first place I went in Dallas and worked a deal with Tom. He's not the cheapest but he has better quality trucks than almost anyone else out there. He will let you drive any one of them If you're a serious driver and he'll take you for a ride if you aren't. If you want to get in touch with me I can get you his cell phone number. I'm not a paying subscriber so no PM on this forum.

Thanks. I would have also accepted "you are an idiot for selling the 80", that seems to be in the lead so far.

You'd have to be a complete idiot to pay 30k for that!

Uhhh... this is awkward.

Looks cool but a coupke thought

are upgraded cvs necessary on a 80? They are huge compared to the other 8" birfs

Are ARBs a price increasing item since elockers arent that rare?

And why do people put clear turn signals on vehicles? Looks cheap

To expand on that, and I maybe wrong, but I thought all anniversary 80's came with e lockers so why swap to ARB's?
