I haven't gotten any more info than what's in the listing but those are good questions to ask. The listing says the rust is ok but not much else about how well it runs, frame, etc.
Even if all those items are in ok condition would $10k still be too much?
This 60 is for sale relatively close to me and I've been thinking of writing off my 62 as it has more bad parts than good ones. Here's the listing: 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser | ksl.com
To sum it up:
It has a 2h turbo diesel with a h55f transmission.
the motor has around 50,000 miles on a...
I'd really love to get a more sophisticated or more modern V8 than the 350tbi but at this point, I'd just like a working 62 (which I still haven't had despite 17 months and more money into it than I'd like to admit) so I might go with the cheapest option. I know I get what I pay for but hell...
Thanks for all the feedback.
My budget is low...I've already dumped $4,000+ into this 62 and it's run all of 1,000 miles for me. It's a pretty long story that makes me cry when I think about it but I'm just not yet willing to get rid of it (although i should). Long story short is that a...
The engine and tranny in my 62 are both bad. I've got a local mechanic who is dirt dirt cheap who is going to do the labor of a V8 swap for me. I've been talking with a local company that deals exclusively in parting out trucks who have come high recommended (Kurt from Cruiser Outfitters) to me...
Thanks for the sympathy. I've thought about the 2FE option. At this point if I could find something reasonable (2F or 3FE) i'd probably try and do it.
Yeah, the craigslist here isn't used like it is in other markets. It's a little harder to find parts, etc.
I guess we'll see.
What has caused you to decide to swap? What engine/tranny combo are you going with? I've seen that the cost for a decent V8 swap can be $5k+...is that about on line?
It's been awhile since I've posted here slightly because I hadn't the money to get my 62 fixed from the ailment it had been in. So it sat for a few months.
I should probably start from the beginning. I bought an '89 FJ62 from a friend knowing it had lost compression in one cylinder (maybe it...
I'm looking at seeing if I know anyone headed from SoCal to Utah in the next few weeks so that they can pick it up. I'd say it's pretty likely since a lot of kids are here for school from there. Otherwise, I think $200+ is outta my price range. I'll keep you posted
What is the condition of the rear swing gate and hatch? Depending on condition I could be interested in both.
As long as the latch assembly works for the hatch I am for sure interested in that. Shipping to 84092?
Hi, I'm interested in front and rear marker lights, and the latch assembly for the hatch. I'd even be interested in the entire hatch and rear swing gate depending on the price and the rust level. Shipping to the states to zip 84604. Let me know? Thanks
Hey, I'm sorry for the trouble but there are a couple problems. I asked if the fuse box cover was brown and if it was how much to ship it, you replied with a quote. To me that meant that it WAS brown so I went ahead and sent you the money.
What you should have said was that it's NOT brown...
Yeah, that was my thought as well, to carry out that kind of test. They seemed about as related as ice cream and hammers which is why I posed the question. When I get out of work I might try draining some of the coolant to see how it affects the conditions. Mostly, I was looking to see if anyone...
Hello all. Just got done rebuilding my newly purchased FJ62 and saw there was a minor coolant leak. Seemed to be coming out right at the cap so I ordered a new cap. It wasn't leaking a ton so I didn't worry about driving it.
I drove it about 30 miles from where we were working on it to my...
