Hello All, It’s been a while. I’ve been collecting parts, bolts, nuts, engine, transmission etc and am now on the upswing. Got the transmission and engine marriage completed today and got the lump back home in he truck. Want to say thanks to...

Not 200 series related, but kinda. Long single track ride on dirt bikes with my bro and our sons. Which ended on an offroad trail I'll be bringing the 200 back to. We ran into @Toyotasaurusrex in his slightly modded FJ55 - always a treat to see a...

Hey @ToyotaMatt . FYI, your site says the 60 series faceplates are $8,700.

FJ80Oregon has rebuilt a lot of these motors, Check out his posts. He recently posted that he had a motor about ready to go. You could try asking him to work a trade-in deal using your old motor for credit toward one of his rebuilt motors?

shameless plug, but my 60 is much nicer than that and is also for sale. I am open to negotiations on price. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1983-freeborn-red-fj60.1334841/

For only 88K miles, that looks rode hard and put up wet. No way I'd do anywhere near $30K for that.

I really want to see a high value because of the low miles, was surprised how much work it appears to need.

Simply based on what you've presented, and only two photos, $10k. Deferred maintenance adds up fast in time and $$. Any rust?

Looks like a pristine rig!

don't overlook the possibility of an oil cooler issue.

Recently I thought I had a bad coolant leak but just ended up being the rear heater lines rusted out causing the leak. I would check those.

Just hit 340k on mine with no rebuild history. Taking it on a 4k mile road trip next month. You'll be fine.

Was the overflow tank clean then turned black, oil in the tank, any coolant leaks (PHH,bypass hose,rear heater lines,---)???

My Dad gave me his 1987. She looks fantastic! Get her a OME suspension and 33's and you got the perfect rig!

Getting ready put new 16” 70 rims 32” KO 2. New springs carpet etc. went with Dobinson springs.

haven't seen one of those still mounted in a few years that was state of the art back in 1990 be almost as much fun watching a teenager try to make a call on that guy versus using a rotary dial phone any one else remember bag phones?

My Dad just gave me his 1985 FJ60. 107,009 miles got new springs, carpet, tires and various other stuff to get it freshened up. Other than that totally stock. Still have the window sales tag for it. Should I keep the phone…..doesn’t work. Kinda...

I agree with all of this!

If you’re pretty new to off-roading, stick to the green trails. Potash road, Shafer switchbacks into Canyonlands, maybe the back way into arches or chicken corners. You’re extremely unlikely to need recover gear on those or risk any damage...

I disagree. In a perfect world it wouldn’t have been hit at all but that looks totally repairable. The knuckle or ball joint are broken for sure, but that would absorb some of the energy before being transmitted to the frame. And as for the...

Having worked at Toyota in sales the value of your 200 has gone up especially with only 20K on it. If they give you comps to compare to make sure they are local rigs not something that is across the country and the exact same condition yours was...

Poorly disguised? Anyone that doesn't know this is a Toyota-oriented forum isn't even trying to pay attention. With regard to the 200-series, and landcruisers in general built over different timeframes, I feel a little bit like the dude from...

Why the 200? It just works. Forever if well maintained. A little less if not. Same as the 100, the 80, the 60,... My 200 is 10 years old this fall. Never an issue over a lot of miles. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere with a...

Sweet looking rig!
