: Thinking about parting out the FJ40

I am pretty sure I won't be able to finish the cruiser right now because I just don't have to time or the cash to build this... Her is what I have:

FJ40 frame
-Whole rear is reinforced and plated
-Rear Cherokee springs with all new mounts (super beef)
-Front YJ springs outboarded super stout
-Power steering box mounted with FLF plates
-TBI 350 with custom motor mounts
-TH350
-Toyot mini truck t-case with BEEFY mount
-Cherokee wide track front and rear 44's

38" swampers with lots of thread on 6 lug chome rims
Front 44 has flat tops with crossover arms
Body is all sanded and ready for paint
Have CLEAN hard top
clear 68 title
Tilt chevy column
2 beard bucket seats
YJ rear bench seat
I will coat the whole truck, and prime the outside

The truck is down to a bare frame right now, and all the parts have been sanded and painted. The motor is complete with everything, and I have some corvette blockhuggers for this. The wheelbase has been stretched to 102" the majority of the fabwork has been done, and if need be, I can help with more work. The truck is currently SOA, and it does sit pretty low with the 38's (this is how I build all my trucks)

This cruiser is all there, just needs to be put together. I will deliver some parts. Please help me out here. Make offer on all the parts. I have a wedding I gotta shell out some cash for, and don't have the time to finish this.

I will sell the whole thing for $4000 (or make me an offer... I need this gone ASAP)

Now for individual cost:
Frame with TBI 350, TH350, Mini truck case, springs, P/S... $1500
Complete tub minus hardtop. Entire tub is sanded to bare metal. Including hood, rear swingout doors, and windshield frame $1000
Hardtop complete torn apart $400
38's Probably already sold
Axles (Centered rear 44 and front 44) $400
Clean 68 title (buy it with the frame for $350 more) $500
Beard racing seats $100
YJ rear seat $50
B&M Shifter $50

As I find more parts, I will post them up here.



thanks

I am going to hold off on parting out all the minor stuff until I see there is no interest in the whole thing. I will let you guys know ASAP.

I would like to sell the frame with the axles and motor,tranny, and tocase

Even if you're hell bent on selling, it might be easier to sell whole and running than as a project. Just a thought.

why not have a cruiser building party one weekend, finish it up to where its drivable, and sell it as a runner in the bay area for $$$$ ? thats was the theme when you started, i dont know your situation right now but its a thought. bolt that thing together, get a maaco paint job and turn it. people in the bay pay way to much for stuff anyway. post it on craigs list, ebay it, whatever. good luck with the wedding and the future afterwards. :beer: look forward to the buggy build too..

this is still an option. In order to get it running, I have to get a wiring harness, and some other odds and ends. The funds are low, and if I can get it together I would. however if I can't, and I can get 4000 for it parted out, I am down to do that right now too.

I extend this offer in protest but if you absolutely need to part it out give me a call about the front and rear axles, 602-1500.

BTW - you're sure a dumb ass for doing this, all that work and now you're giving in... :flipoff2:

pm'd you about the seats

Flatty
07-22-2005, 05:55 PM
Well as it seems, I can't get anbyone to buy the big parts, so I will not part the smaller parts. I may endup selling just the axles, Seats, tires with rims, and a few other small things. I have to replace the injection pump on the Dodge, so I may end up parting out some things so that I can buy a new pump.

Yea, I will sell the title, but it comes attached to a frame with a motor, tranny, and t-case...
