2007 FJ Cruiser Safari Viewing Expedition Edition $19,999 and the price is rising

[1leglance]

Take advantage of my laziness now, if you wait I will have fixed up things and the price will be a' rising.


This isn't just any FJ Cruiser, this is the:
2007 Expedition Trophy winning,
Continental Divide Expedition completeing,
2008 SEMA Show featured,
Overland Journal Gear Guide articled,
4wd Toyota Owners magazine photo'ed,
Tonto National Forest Filmed,
Phoenix TV news highlighted (twice),
rig that has been the eye candied show piece for Disabled Explorers.
and with it's SUNROOF you could stand up and watch the wildlife while on safari




But it is time to upgrade to something with a wheelchair lift so the FJC has to go away.

This isn't some web wheeled driveway queen, it has desert pinstriping, some small dents & dings and the famous "inner fender tears" and it could use some new tires. However if you wait for me to fix all that you will pay a premium as the price will go up several thousand dollars. So move fast and save the cash!

Read a build thread here but realize I never completed the updates.
My BlueJ build finally

Details:
2007 VooDoo Blue
Auto trans
ATRAC
Rear electric locker with aftermarket guard
Dash top compass & gauge pack
Dealer installed SUNROOF
All Pro 3" lift with freshly rebuilt Walker Evans resevoir shocks all the way around
OME heavy rear spring upgrade with 2 sets of extra rear springs you can have.
Warn rear bumper with rear view camera ready hole drilled
Aluminess front bumper with Warn 9000lb winch & synethic line. But if you wait I plan to re-install my ARB front bumper and the price will go up since it has IPF & PIAA lights
Rasta Skids full set
Gobi Ranger roof rack with custom sunroof cut out
8 PIAA lights on the roof rack, you will light up the night
Dual Odyssey Batteries using a Wrangler setup, more power than you need
Cobra CB with a Firestik antenna on the rear door using a Bandi hinge mount, very clean
Wheelers Offroad 16" steel wheels with reinforced bead
BFG Mud Terrians, some are worn some are ok

The graphics are off, no roof top tent or side awning, the fridge has found a happy home elsewhere and the Tuffy drawer & Extreme Outback on board air are waiting to help other disabled folks along with the laptop & camera system.

What does it need?
A couple of tires, and balancing, front end alignment...and someone ready for adventure.
This vehicle won the 5 day Expedition Trophy in 2007, then went on the Continental Divide Expedition from Canada to Mexico, and showed off at SEMA in 2008, had it featured in magazines and news stories and if it wasn't for the need of a larger vehicle I would be owning this rig for years to come.

I would rather see it move quick at a killer price than have to fix things up and haggle with folks. This is your chance to own a famous rig at a killer price and fix up things the way you want them done.

Good luck with the sale lance.

Good luck on the sale, your story is one of the more inspiring I've read on this forum!

How will you manage to fix the fender tears and only add a couple of thousand dollars to the final price? Have you found a method that is cheaper than the comprehensive 8-12 K one peformed by Toyota?

Well there are some things I will fix and some things I won't and some things that we will have to discuss the definition of "fixed"

For me personally I wouldn't do a thing about the fenders...unless the visible bodywork starts to suffer and then I would just have someone weld some metal patch on...it isn't the best solution, just a solution.

Most of the fixes I refer to are things like tires, balancing, alignment and such...small to medium things that will make it sell for more.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone...and tell all your friends to come own a famous FJC...a copy of the issue of Overland Journal it is featured in is included along with a Disabled Explorers shirt and maybe some other goodies if someone moves fast and makes me happy

I am heading out to Fresno & the Sportsmobile factory then down to Pomona for the Off Road Expo this weekend. I should be able to get calls & emails no problem though.

Good luck, it's a nice rig at a nice price for someone who will wheel it.
