He offered me $6k for it, wanted to splice the front end and install a diesel conversion like he had done for his FJ60. He told me he could pull the Grapevine from Bakersfield to LA at 70-80 mph no problem.
Told Marv "no" and gave it to my Brother. Fucher still hasn't told me what he did with it.

My stock 93 will fly over the Grapevine from the desert at 75 without with gas pedal only 3/4 way. Must get it out of overdrive. I had an 95 that was beaten to pulp out in the desert but still ran relatively well. Oh yeah they sucked gas. My 93 has been over western US and Canada with my family, rein and snow. A young woman in her BMW with her phone killed it. Saved me and my little boy, not a scratch on us but a couple of bruises.
