Hello all,
I have lurked on this site for many many years. I had an 1990 FJ62 I sold about six years ago. One of the worst decisions I ever made. I loved that truck I have missed it dearly. I Recently sold my Nissan Frontier to fund the search for my new Cruiser. (Best decision I could ever make!) I couldn't afford one of these $18,000 + eBay ones, so I knew I was searching for a project. A couple of days after having cash in hand A 60 popped up here that seamed like a good fit. After lots of conversation, I scheduled to go check it out on Saturday.
My sweet wife woke me up Saturday morning by whispering in my ear "Wake up, let's go find your Land Cruiser" I love that woman
We drove up approx. 100 miles away and I was very pleased with what I found.
A Clean, rust free 1986 that was shipped up from Texas last year. 248,000 miles. Sale included new SOR carpet kit, Complete 3" OME Dakar lift kit, extra set of wheels & tires, and boxes & boxes of parts! She's a dirty girl but with lots of potential. I was quick to exchange cash for Cruiser and get to work! Feel like I got a heck of a deal!
We loaded all the parts and headed home. Took the scenic way home 194 miles through the beautiful VA mountains she ran great for the most part, few idol issues, but I got home in one piece.
Here she is back home!
