I bought mine in the nineties for 3 grand. I have offers every day. Easily worth 50k. Rhino lined inside and out. 2 gas tanks, 2 spare tires, chevy 350 with throttle body injection, nv4500 transmissions. I just tore it apart down to the frame last year. No rust anywhere, all new hoses, electrical system all new designed and built by me with everything needed to make the engine run isolated from everything else and virtually indestructable even it the entire rest of the power distribution system is totally destroyed. Everything isolated and fused and breakered . Front windshield goes down by simply pulling 2 latches. never sell..only coming out of my dead fingers.
Years ago my Brother was with me when I was checking out some Chevy Blazers at a Car Lot.
The Salesman was really pushy so my (smartass) Brother asked him if he wanted to know the difference between the Blazer and the Toyota Land Cruiser.
He proceeds to tell the guy that when you’re off road in the Blazer and you hit a Boulder, that’s it, you’re done. In the Toyota, you just back up and go around it.
The fj is on my Lotto list. Too bad my Brother didn’t keep his. He still owns a 32 five window Deuce coupe though.
He’s had it for 55 Years.
