FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Possibly Sell my FJ

So, some recent events in my life and losing some loved ones has made me realize that at 34 its time to start having kids. So next year the wife and I will be starting a family. This means that the FJ is no longer a priority and frankly doesnt make the best family mobile. I am in no hurry what so ever, but if anyone knows someone who wants a badass built FJ and to save a ton on not doing it them selves then let me know. At this point I will not let it go for less than $22k. It is a 2007 with 73Kmiles on it with $14K in mods/work.

Check my build page on the blue room for more detail on whats on it. Everything on the list comes with it with the exception of the Ham radio. If the buyer has a ham license and shows it, they can have the radio too.

good luck with the sale. Same reason why I got rid of my FJ. FWIW, since you're not in a hurry, you'd probably come out better if you parted it out, brought it back to stock and traded it in.

I dont know, I think i would get raped on trade in. I would have to pay to have the gears swapped back to stock for way more money than its worth. This all might change later on down the road, but for now if i can get $22k for it in current state then im good.

That would be the key to me deciding to part it out, but I don't want to do the work to swap the thirds.. its a PITA.

The FJ works pretty well as a family vehicle AFTER the kids can buckle their own belts. Before that, it is a PITA. I sold my 2001 Tacoma to buy the FJ because it was about 6" wider in the back seat (and I wanted one) and I could fit three carseats there side by side.

Good luck with the family plans!

Bummer, you have a sick FJ, I know you put a lot of time building it your way. Good luck with the sale. Are you parting anything out? OR do you have any goodies sitting in your garage (dibs!)?
