New price of $6K as of 11/24/15.
****************************************************************************************

Up for sale is my 1991 FJ80 Land Cruiser. This is a one owner vehicle. I am the original owner and bought it brand new from a Toyota dealer in July of 1991. The odometer reads 261,581 miles at the time of this writing. It is being sold whole. Exterior is white, interior is grey cloth. This is my daily driver. I drop my daughter off at school (when she lets me drive it) and commute regularly into Manhattan with it.

Maintenance history:
This vehicle has been ridiculously well maintained its entire life. It has seen nothing but Amsoil synthetic fluids with the exception of coolant which has always been Toyota red. There have been regular fluid changes including 2 year drain/refill intervals of transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, etc.
4.88 gears were installed in 2010 and all front and rear driveline related bearings/seals/etc were replaced with new OEM parts. New OEM birfields at that time as well.

Exhaust system rebuilt from manifold back using SS downpipes and new catalytic converters from discountconverter.com this past fall including new OEM O2 sensors and all OEM hardware. New OEM Y-pipe. Borla SS exhaust from Y-pipe back. Custom tail pipe over the frame exit.

In its current condition, this truck has made 2 round trips (2011 and 2012) from New Jersey to Moab, UT pulling the Swampers in my M416 trailer (trailer not included in sale). I spent a week out in Utah wheeling Moab and drove home. She will sit at 70 mph on the highway for hours at a time with 2 fingers on the steering wheel. Everything works as it should. Heat blows hot/AC blows cold.

The bad stuff:
This truck has lived its entire life in New Jersey and as a result it has rust issues. The body is rough with holes in both rear quarter panels and front of the rear wheel wells. Dented doors and missing fender flares in rear.

I am removing the Warn M12K winch. It will not go with the truck.

The rear differential should be rebuilt as it is making noise at highway speeds and I have all the parts for that which are included. I don’t worry about the noise as it made 2 4600 mile round trips in its current state.

The exhaust has a louder than stock drone and the speedometer cable squeaks when it gets below 15F. The speedometer needle sticks.

Driver’s seat is worn.

Due to the weather in NJ it is impossible for me to wash the truck without it freezing solid and it is filthy from the last snowfall. I will post whatever pictures I have.

These make it real easy to merge into traffic at the Lincoln Tunnel.

Hey Jon, you getting out of the game or just changing pieces? You better stick around...we need your 3FE expertise!

I've owned this truck for 22 years. It took both my kids home from the hospital and they both learned how to drive on it. It's as much a part of my family as it could be. My daughter cried when I told her I was going to sell it, but she can't afford to put gas in it and the driveway is about to get pretty crowded in the next week or so.


I'm not going anywhere and I'll always be available to help. My main concern is that it goes to someone who will take care of it. She's an old girl, but starts every morning and runs like a top.
 
Bumping this for a hellova rig. I watched this rig out in Moab and it ate everything that Jon threw at it.
 
Bump for the white rhino. I've watched thing conquer everything my 85 4Runner with 185:1 crawl ratio crawls. This is an incredibly capable rig and great for the family with many featuers tailored to the family like charging ports in each door.
I've seen this rig wheel for the past 14 years without ever having a problem or mechanical issue except for blowing an ARB compressor which was trail fixed, since then I believe the compressor was replaced.
If I didn't already have another project in the works I'd pick this up, knowing it's maintenance record the mileage doesn't concern me at all.
 
I drove into Manhattan this morning and was doing 70 on the NJTP and was wondering what the hell I'm thinking. She was sucking gas and hauling ass, heat cranking, music pumping.
 
The White Rhino kicks ass! I've seen that thing conquer some incredible challenges. It's a nice solid setup. What do you plan to wheel in Moab 2015?
 
So does that mean you're keeping her?


No, I won't have room in my driveway, assuming the deal on the "new" truck goes as planned. I'm just getting emotional, but I'm going to have to let her go.

I might not be dragging it through Pritchett Canyon. It needs to be properly set up and I'm going to have to get used to it. It all depends on cash flow. We'll see how it works out.
It'll need lift/tires/wheels/gears/sliders/belly pan just to get her going. Might not be able to afford all that in a year.
