Worth a look?

I pulled the zip code from that ad and put it into autotrader. There's a few others close to there, and this one https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for...1=TOYOTA&modelCode1=FJCRUIS&clickType=listing
is similarly priced, but looks like it's been used for fun. Might be more risk, but idk.

 

Being a 07 give this a thorough inspection on the rust. Specifically the frame, towards the rear end and in the engine bay(brackets and supports). It seems about half of the 07 suffer from being prone to extreme rust.

 

The 4.0L V6 is a good motor. It has a timing chain so you don't have to worry about changing the belt every 90k.

Look out for cracks on the inner fenders under the hood. It's common for those to bulge or crack, especially if it saw some hard off-road abuse.

The transmission can be hit or miss since most fail to change the fluid often enough. If you upgrade to larger tires, you're going to want to drive around in (4) instead of (D) when city driving.

Definitely get one with a rear locker and a-trac. They're fun and capable vehicles! I've owned two

 

This is what the rails are for.

 

Did you re gear?

 

I didn't. If I did it again, I would w/ 4.56 gears

 

You don't have it anymore?

 

Nope, sold it November of 2017 and picked up my first Tundra shortly after

 

Oh ok.....which do u like better off road?

 

I got 2 FJ’s. They are awesome. 4.0 is as solid as they come. There are quite a few over 300k and some over 500k miles. I have had no issues with either of mine. Not many in the jeep club can say the same.

 

Do you have stock gears?

 

I do. Duratracs 285/75/16 E rated are a pretty light tire and it does great. The TRD Intake and Exhaust allow it to breath better. It used to downshift at a certain spot on my way to work and after the TRD it does not.

 

I did a KNN air filter only and charcoal filter delete yesterday with new spark plugs but have not taken it long distance yet

 

How much those tires way?

 

54-55 lbs!
Compare that to BFG KO2 60 lbs

 

Mine are 58

 

Mine are E Rated. Usually those are a bit heavier.

 

I'm selling them to get some lighter tires like the 51lbs less I found ko2s as well will the 7lbs make that big of a difference

 

Yeah so are mine

 

OK.. I thought those pics were of your tire stats. Those were both C rated.

Yea I think 7 pounds will make a difference in acceleration and a bit on the MPG front as well. Lighter is always better for both.

 

what do gears run for these FJs

 

Beats me.

 

Never looked into it

 

Its funny I get more smreaponses on the Tundra forum on the GJ than I do on the FJ forum.....everyone is so quiet there

 

Have you done diff services?

 

My wife had a 2010 Toytec lift and a bunch of mods. Absolutely loved it for 4wheeling. We would still own it if some jackass would have ran a stoplight and totaled it. We looked for another one but ended up getting her a 4Runner. The FJ are great.

 

Yes. Every 30k.

 

What do you use 75-90 or 75-85?

 

75w-90 Mobil 1
