Up for sale is my 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser. This is a very good example of a clean FJ62. It spent its life in California up until I purchased it a couple years ago. So, it's virtually rust free. Frame is good. Only a couple small spots of surface rust on rear fender. It had been re-painted at some point, and they didn't do a great job, so some of the paint is faded and/or flaking in a few spots. There was also some rust starting on the roof, so I had a body shop professionally repair it and repaint the roof, as well as re-seal the gutters. It had exhaust work, and the catalytic converters were removed, but I do have them and will include. I'll attempt to list some of the important features and the things i've done to it since i've owned it:
-New OME 2.5" suspension. (shocks, leafs, steering stabilizer) (also, have the original leaf springs)
-BF Goodrich KO2 tires in good condition
-Knuckles rebuilt about 3,000 miles ago. (also replaced tie rod ends)
-New brakes
-New thermostat
-Rear main seal replaced last year (had a small oil leak)
-All fluids replaced within 3,000 miles (front and rear differential, transfer case)
-Regular oil changes
-Added aftermarket temp gauge and oil pressure gauge cluster (original oil pressure gauge and sender wasn't working)
-All new door and window rubber/seals all the way around
-AC blows cold/front and rear heater works as it should
-All new belts last year
-Has the Euro mirrors on it. (have the originals)
-New power antenna
-New shifter bushings
-I'm sure there's something I'm missing, but this is a pretty good list.
All in all, this is a great rig. I drive it almost daily and never have any issues. Starts right up, shifts good, and travels great down the road. I wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere. The interior is very clean. I'm sure the upholstery could use a good cleaning, but no tears or anything like that. This FJ62 is the manual window and door lock version, so no electrical issues with that stuff. Other than the original oil pressure gauge, everything works as it should. Even the power antenna. I'm very meticulous about things working, so every attempt has been made to be sure everything is right. It's certainly not a 'restored' cruiser, but it's darn nice. It's ready to go in whatever direction you want. I hate to see it go, but need to make room for the next project. I have lots of pictures, so if there's something you'd like to see, just ask. Clean title in hand
