This is an awesome FJ60. Very strong, very durable. Looks great but is not a trailer queen. Biggest things that need attention at some point:

Fuel spider needs replacing. A couple of the poppets stick alternately open or closed causing a rich or lean condition depending on when they stick. Sometimes it won't do it for a week, other times it'll do it everyday for a while. I just haven't had the time to replace the spider with the new, non-poppet style.
Front axle has developed a vibration when 4 is engaged. Haven't looked into this yet. I do have a good complete axle that can be included to use for parts if necessary.
Winch is currently not wired up. Was in the process of mounting a second battery but not completed.
There are a few tiny bubbles on the rear roof that need attention before it spreads. I think there was a little bit of repair done above the passenger door prior to my ownership.

Please ask questions and I'll try to address anything you need to know. I was figuring this is a $12K rig but considering the repairs I noted, I'd take $10K for it as is. Clear title, in my name, current tags.

Nice looking rig. "Front axle has developed a vibration when 4 is engaged"- did you do a cut and turn/ correct pinion angle with your SOA?

Yes, cut and turn was done when the SOA was originally completed. I haven't taken the time to sort out the new vibration that recently developed.
