1984 LandCruiser / FJ60 located in Colorado Springs, CO - $6000 Firm
I've tried, but it needs someone more mechanically smart to love it more. Not much to do, couple leaks & the carb needs tuning. I'd desmog it, but seems too complicated for me. I think I want something else with fuel injection.
Approx 215K, Aussie Locker & 4.11s, OME Lift (3 or 3.5"?), BFG 33s w/ lots of life left (75-80%?) (siped)
Little surface rust in spots, the driver side rocker took a hit so is a bit crunched - it's a 4x4 not a museum piece!
I put a new oil pump, dizzy and ignition coil in it.
The A/C blows, but it's not cold - never looked into what it needs. I cruise with the windows down anyway...
I have the gas can, rack in my garage and a pair of sliders cut off another guys rig (they'd need to be sleeved and welded up). The skid plates are in my garage too.

Search for my name for other adventures with this beast...nothing to hide.
$6K Firm...which is a great deal looking at some of the other FJs on craigslist at the moment...Come buy it before I change my mind (again...haha)
Clear, CO title
I would possibly trade for a like value 4Runner with 22RE and removable top.

Stuff from the previous owner (with my comments in bold):
I bought the truck in stock form and have done a great deal of work to it. Hate to let it go, but it’s time for me to move onto another project.
Truck has 208k miles and runs good
Old-Man-Emu 3" lift with oversized shackles
Old-Man-Emu shocks all the way around, including steering stabilizer shock
33/10.50/15 BFG Muds, all tires sipped including the spare, at least 85% tread
4:11 gears
Aussie locker in the rear, rear axle has new axle seals
Front axle rebuilt including trunion bearings
Brakes in great condition, new brake lines up front (it's about time for flush)
Custom front bumper with integrated hitch to allow for a removable winch plate
Custom rear bumper with swing out arm, Hi-Lift jack and Jerry Can holder, integrated hitch with trailer wiring
Custom full length roof rack with 8 Yakima gutter mounts (I have keys for SKS locks now)
Black out front grill
Recent complete carb rebuild from Mark's Offroad in CA (within last 100 miles)
Recent professional valve adjustment, new valve cover gasket
New Intake/Exhaust/EGR gaskets
New clutch and rear main seal
New Toyota power steering pump (new, not refurbished)
Coolant system flushed
Fresh fluid in tranny/transfer case/diffs
New oil pan
New Duralast Gold battery
All vacuum lines replaced
All smog equipment present
New windshield, rest of glass in good shape
Truck was painted in Dec. 07', the original paint was very faded, mine main goal was to get it painted before any other rust started
Rust was present over the passenger side wheel well before fresh paint, it was completely cut-out and new metal welded in, no signs of it returning (I've got a few pics before the truck was painted and when it was primed for paint)
One small spot starting to bubble over driver's side rear wheel well
Roof, door jambs, and rocker panels don't show any signs of rust
Interior is pretty clean, front seats have been upgrade from a late model sedan (Mazda Protege)
Original dash had some cracks, a dash cap has been installed (you probably would even have noticed unless I pointed it out)
Working CD Player (not really - wonky volume control, probably should be replaced...)
Bad....not much for a 25 year old truck
New carb needs fine adjustment.....truck has a small flat spot around 55-60mph, occasionally has a slight RPM fluctuation at idle
Body looks great but isn't perfect, has a few small dings here and there, noticeable dent in the driver's side rocker panel thanks to a local trail, one small dent in the hood
Small oil leak somewhere on the back of the engine
