Reason For Sale:

Why am I selling?  We recently received some great news that we will be expecting our 3rd child.   This is a good surprise however is going to eat into what little time I have.   Plus we need a larger car to haul 3 car seats and big as the FJ55 is 3 seats is not in the cards.   Truly is a great running cruiser and we will miss.   Gets tons of attention where ever we go.  

 

PPI:  Copy of PPI from when I purchased can be sent if interested.   Message me.   Will give you idea of what I purchased.    

Photos:  I've tried to take all photos of exterior. interior. underside so you have a good understanding of the condition.   The cruiser is very solid and is a head turner.  

The new owner will not be disappointed.  


Questions Ask I'll be upfront and happy to talk more.
