Expedition Ready FZJ80 For Sale (possilby)

[RAM5500 CAMPERTHING]

Hey Guys

Been doing some serious thinking lately and i am going to get back into riding/racing dirtbikes.

As much as i love my 80, i am thinking i might have to sell it for a double cab toyota pickup truck. Been looking at the tundras, but there is not much aftermarket support for them and they arent available with rear lockers and such. I am seriously considering buying a 06 Double Cab Taco, 4x4, Elocker, etc.... Thought about keeping both rigs and wheeling the pee out of the 80, but that just wouldnt make financial sense.

My question to all of you is, what would you guys HONESTLY think my rig is worth? Most of you know my rig, but if you dont, here is the jist:

PLEASE DONT PM ME ASKING ABOUT CERTAIN PARTS FOR SALE, IF THIS RIG IS SOLD, IT WILL BE AS A PACKAGE DEAL WITH ALL MODS, I DO NO WANT TO PART IT OUT AND WOULDNT EVEN CONSIDER IT!!!, THANKS

93 FZJ80
125k
Green
Grey Leather
Factory E-Lockers, (both lockers are BRAND NEW oem units!!!, both were acquired as complete units with all NEW gears, bearings, etc.....)
OME Lift
OME Steering Stabilizer
OME Shocks
ARB Front Bumper
Hanna Sliders
Slee Rear Bumper/Tire Carrier (picking up and installing next weekend)
Dual Batteries
African Outback Full Rack with Full Rail
(4) 33" MTR's with 90% tread, (1) 33" MTR, never used!!
44 Gallon Aux tank (total fuel capacity of 69 gallons)
Alpine Head Unit with Direct Connect iPod controls
Uniden CB
Upgraded Headlights
Upgraded Headlight Harness
BRAND NEW OEM Radiator and all new OEM Hoses
Brand New COMPLETE Front end rebuild with all new OEM bearings, seals, etc.....
All new OEM brakes!

TONS of misc stuff done as well.

Those of you that have followed my build know that not a penny has been spared to assure the best parts have gone into this rig, everything on this rig is OEM and no aftermarket parts have been installed anywhere (expect for armor and such).

Sooooooo, my question is, what do you all HONESTLY think i could get for this thing? Ballpark? Am i out of my mind trying to get $15k or so?

Figure if i can get $15k for my rig, i put $5k down on the taco, $5K for the bike, $2500 into the taco for mods, $2500 into the bike for prep/mods! Its a win win! :ylsmoke:

Any input is appreciated, feel free to give your honest opinion!

And for those wondering, yes, the 06 Taco Double cab will be built up just like this 80 was! :ylsmoke:

PLEASE DONT PM ME ASKING ABOUT CERTAIN PARTS FOR SALE, IF THIS RIG IS SOLD, IT WILL BE AS A PACKAGE DEAL WITH ALL MODS, I DO NO WANT TO PART IT OUT AND WOULDNT EVEN CONSIDER IT!!!, THANKS

it would cost 15k to replicate, so you may need to go cheaper. id want a bargain, or id do it myself, and know it was done right. just my opinion.

Ok, thanks for the feedback, this is what i am looking for to realize if i am in fantasy land or not.

One thing i have noticed though is that, clean, low mile locked 80's are going for $9-11k PLUS

ARB = $700
Hanna Sliders = $900
Slee Rear Bumper / Carrier $1800
MTR's = $1200
African Rack = $1100
OME Kit = $700
44 gallon tank = $1200
Dual Battery Setup = $250 +/-
Extra Little Things $500 +
Alpine CD Player = $250
Uniden CB = $100

Thats about $9000 +/- in mods that have less then 3k miles on all of them. :ylsmoke:

Probably have close to $1-2 in receipts for all the new maintenence stuff as well: Radiator, Brakes, Etc......

My rig is very clean both inside and out, when i wash it!

I appreciate the feedback, please keep it coming!

How about updated pics?
Sure sounds like a solid rig!

PMing you.

Honestly,

Unless someone who "knows" what they are getting wants it, you should part some of the goodies out for full cash value.

I can't believe you did all that work just to sell it though:yikes:

You've done more this year than anyone I know.

That sucks for some of us - losing a very knowledgeable 80 owner that is a serious gearhead. I just hope youll stll be a resource for the 80 if you decide to sell it.

Im not sure if you searched MUD but I know 2 that popped in my head that bought '97 FZJ80s recently: Bull and Justagirl - BeastIIs rig.
They didnt post the price they paid but you can probably PM them for what they paid for. BeastII took some armor off to lower the price for Justagirl.

If you decide to sell and part some mods, Ill fall in line for the Hanna sliders.

Good luck.

I will post some later

It is!

No way, there is no chance what so ever i would "part this out" that would end up leaving me with a bare carcass!

I can't believe you did all that work just to sell it though:yikes:

Trust me, that wasnt the plan!

You've done more this year than anyone I know.

Yeah, been lucky with lots of free time!

I'd say $4k tops. I'll even help you get it off of your hands if you'd like. JK I wouldn't think 10-15k would be that much of a stretch personally. I guess it depends alot on the appearance of it (exterior/interior). I've seen some listed for more then $15k that were built similarly. Personally, if I were you though, I'd just pick up a bike trailer and be good to go. That way you could save some cash if you want, sleeping in the 80 and not have to build up another truck. If you are using this as an excuse to buy and build a Taco, well nevermind.

Of course!

BeastII is who i am buying the slee from

Good luck.

No way i want to get into parting this out, sorry! That would be even more painful then selling it!

Yeah, thats the kicker, the appearance of it isnt dazzling as it has been used for what it was built for. Hoping to find someone that reconizes how mechanically sound it is and will overlook the offroad induced blemishes of the paint and such. Inside, the interior is much cleaner then most!

Personally, if I were you though, I'd just pick up a bike trailer and be good to go. That way you could save some cash if you want, sleeping in the 80 and not have to build up another truck.

That is the other option i am looking at and in all reality makes more financial sense.

If you are using this as an excuse to buy and build a Taco, well nevermind.

Thats not it 100% but i would like the idea of a brand new rig! (never had anything brand new)

Decisions Decision!

I used to race motocross back when I was younger. My father and I would travel to the races with either a camper trailer that was converted to include an enclosed bike/tool storage area and a seperate living quarters, or we'd go light and just bring the 2 bike trailer. The bike is out in the elements but with the maintenance we did on those things it didn't really matter because we'd go through the whole thing when we got home anyway since it was subjected to far worse in the races.

I've really had the bug to get back into it lately but I like you would probably have to get rid of the Cruiser (so I could buy a beater car and a new bike, haha).

As far as the cosmetics, unfortunately I think it reduces your appeal to just the real 4 wheelers out there, as the pretty boys who probably make up more of the buying population want to look really good when they throw the 22's onto your rig.

EDITED...

I must have hit reply on the wrong thread. Sorry, Long weekend.

Water storage:

I believe you mentioned somewhere that you will be building a platform. You could fit a RV type water storage tank in there. Ideally towards the middle of vehicle to keep weight centralized. For other storage of water, I have and highly recommend MSR dromedary bags. I am using the 10L versions and have two. They are nice b/c they are soft and flexible, but tough, so you can easily stow them when not being used.

Also, check out Desert Dudes awesome water set-up in his 80. Maybe more fancy than what you're looking for, but the tank is good.




Lastly, I am sure you figured out by now. But, take out all the seats except for the front two seats. It makes for a great amount of storage, and the dogs will dig it too!
