My friend offered me this advice. He was stationed in Idaho and now is residing on the Wrong Coast. Background, I was offered an 80 for a reasonable price to build my dream truck (DIESEL)upon so I put my 60 up for sale (again) http://www.angelfire.com/id/v8j60/forsale.html
but it is a unique truck so I'm having some difficulties. Some folks don't like the paint on the hood, I really don't understand this :) By the time I sell it, my opportunity may have passed. This pull off thing he describes below is sort of funny. Well I guess you'd have to know my friend. He isn't into pulloffs, he thinks they are sort of redneck. His exgirlfriend's new boyfriend had a heavily modified TJ and was always talking crap about Cruisers so he offered to meet him in Moab for a pull off with his 80 series. It never happened as the new boyfriend chickened out. He and his exgirlfriend laughed a lot about that. What is really funny about the whole thing is that he has been offering to do these pull offs for a long time and nobody ever shows up. I don't know maybe you won't find humor in it because you don't know him. But I'm sure you can all relate to the deranged life he describes.

His advice:
sell the 60 keep the 40 and get a
kickin 80...dump more $ into it and smile all the way
to the poor house. This is a deranged life we've
chosen but to swerve now would mean spending $ on
HEEPS or worse yet Mange Drovers. People around here
LOVE their Drovers, I've educated a few on just how
truly shitty they are, I'm trying to build interest in
Cruisers...maybe start importing them in from the
west. :) Some people have more $ than knowledge,
none of the Drover folks have taken me up on my bumper
to bumper pull off with the 40 yet. I think I scared
them when I told them to call an ambulance and a tow
truck.

If you had it up for sale before I got into my project FJ60 I'd buy it and be way ahead of where I am now, and a lot richer too! I will post to a guy here in Virginia Beach, he has been loking for a 60 in good condition. Not to mention the improvements.

I would take the advice you get from the LCML crowd on this same post. They are probably a lot more knowledgable in these kind of matters than most of us here -- certainly at least me:D
