Safety out of Dan's range, but not by much.

I traveled 895 miles one way. For an fj1100 with 7000 miles on it. It was free though. Has electrical problems.

The 86 looks good.  But missing quite a few small pieces. Clutch lever bent. Seat cover ripped.

It's been a while. I've been so messed up with new job and and then a new job at the new company. And new solar projects. And working on new retarded ideas with the house. I haven't gotten back to the fun stuff yet. I've been given 3 fjs since I bought yours for you. Looks like you've done typical Pat stuff to it. Making it perfect.

You know, those electrical problems can be a headache -

I've give you double the money and make it just go away

Congrats on the latest addition!

Second free fj I got was an 84. That someone had taken apart many years ago and couldn't find the title for. It's pretty much complete just in many plastic bins. Has a brand new aftermarket windshield. And a brand new seat that he had purchased after he took it apart. So I have spares for this 84 if I can figure out the electrical problems. He had a shop by him instal a complete harness he had bought. They had it still at the shop when I picked it up. They couldn't figure it out.
