Welcome to the asylum, nice pick, no wood to peel off, a bit of rust on the rear wheel dog leg and back fender... seems like you have the 208 transfer case -locking hubs in front- and a little exhaust mods, tailpipe on the driver's side...

I’ve been wanting to get an FSJ meet n Greet at a local burger joint: Ron’s in the valley, or Dick’s downtown, for awhile. Maybe after the Covid 19 subsides we can get everyone to one general spot.

I saw this in craigslist a couple of days ago. Cool to see on here today. Looks like you got good deal. I’d be down for a meet up too.

I drove it home down the freeway and other then the rig wandering side to side at time( Spokane freeway sucks as you know )
seems to have run fine not a issue
not it just needs some love and sort thru some minor wiring issues

For the wandering, look to see if it has longer than stock shackles up front. They are a common cause of flighty steering.

thanks I have only peek under it see if something is amiss dont recall seeing long shackels
but will investigate

Along with a helper,..wiggle the steering wheel and inspect the RAG JOINT in the steering shaft under the hood

howdy from Phx. It appears to have a lift. Nice looking rig. Reminds me of my first waggy. It was nammed "Will E". (Hence the board name). As in 'will e' make it to the gas station, will e stop in time, will e break down again. I beat the crap out of that poor waggy.

Here is a pic of it sporting a 4" spring lift with 31" BFG AT's. Will E also had a 208 transfer case. And here it's showing off some Killer 32 sliders and a 'TAD Rack' on top.

Will-E looks awesome! Looks like you were using it the way it was meant to be used as well! Love those BFG’s on there. What size were they? 31x?

Thx!

Thanks! Yeah I beat the hell out of that poor waggy. It's what I learned to wheel in and by the time I was done with it even Jerry couldn't get to much value out of it. (Inside joke). 31" BFG's. It was a good combo. I got lots of smiles and waves on the trails. People like seeing old iron on out the trails.
