$18k obo for buggy & open trailer - Located Danville, PA 17821 I'll also offer a $250 bird-dog fee for someone who refers a buyer.

1973 / 2007 Toyota FJ-40 Buggy for sale

This buggy weighs 4600lbs ready to hit the trail - 50% of that is axles and tires alone, giving it a very low center of gravity. It was built to be comfortable, durable, and safe, leaving plenty of room between the occupants and the outside of the roll cage.

Stored in a climate-controlled garage, and 100% ready to hit the trail. We just don't have the time to enjoy it anymore. Build thread: Keeping it low with Rockwells (a.k.a. under the knife again) | IH8MUD Forum

Appreciate the kind words.. Probably why we haven't bumped into each other is that I built the rig when I lived in NC, and since moving up to PA in 2008, we just haven't been out a whole lot in it, but when we did, it was mostly to Rausch & Big Dogs. (Her job here dictates putting in time off 60+days in advance - who plans a wheeling weekend that far in advance?)

But, if you ever need anything when you're in the area, drop me a line, always glad to help! I'm only a few miles from the I-80 exit.
 
Rich,

Been a long time. Selling the cruiser, say it ain't so. I guess I should wish you GLWS.

HEY Scott! Yeah, really very long time! Yeah, it's so, unfortunately. Taking up garage space, and someone needs to enjoy it.

Hit me up on facebook or something, I'd like to see what you've been up to! You make O-4 yet? :D

Most states have a 3 day return period on used vehicles! thumb.gif Crap, it's Friday already. Seriously though, hope your buddy enjoys the one he bought. I've actually had this on pirate for a little while, and just brain-farted and forgot to list it here. Oh well, that's what I get! ;)

Well, in that case, could I pick it up Nov. 28th, and return it on the 30th? I may swing by RBD with it...... Just kidding, nice rig man.
