bump from Bali,
There are some awesome rigs here!! so many mint condition Fj's and a couple of g's, all SWB's with big tires, and a sweet CJ8 :sombrero:

Fixed.

Really beautiful rig. Would trade the CJ but don't have the stack of cash I'd have to add to the deal.

Best of luck with the sale. Really good deal.

When it was converted to diesel, did all the a/c hardware get removed or is most of it there without a compressor and lines?

The swap was done in the beginning of 09'. I've since put about 5k miles on it. As far as the AC, I'm actually not sure to be honest. I'm pretty sure most of it's there though just without the lines. I'll try to get over the garage later today and check that out for you.

whats actual city mpg vs. hwy on this?

I get just over 20 mpg if I take it easy on the highway. I took a trip not to long ago and I was traveling close to the top speed of the truck the entire time (80mph) and I got 17.6 or so. That's with lots of hills though and like I said it was pretty maxed out. City is also around 17.

that's a shockingly cool truck. TTT.

Good luck, someone will enjoy it.

Thanks for the comment!

Here's some pics from this past weekend. They were taken with an iphone so please forgive the crappy quality.

Dang. Is that thing still for sale?

 

[m635dude]

yes, but I'm not really trying hard to sell it. It's posted on here and another forum and that's it. I had someone who was going to buy it recently but his wife ended up not letting him. It was a sad couple of days thinking he was coming down to get it.

Amazing rig Adam.

I wish I was in the market right now. But alas, the $$ simply isnt available.

Good luck with the sale. Im sure the new owner will enjoy it! I sure would!:drool:

[m635dude]

Thanks Zimm, how have you been?

 

[zimm]

good, wrecked mine. if youre still in posession when i get mine back, ill get a hold of you for the off road session. maybe i can post up a personal note on how nice it goes off road! then again, maybe you'll have an easier time prying open my wallet than my hands off of the wheel!

 

[m635dude]
