Reason For Sale:

Why am I selling?  We recently received some great news that we will be expecting our 3^rd 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.
