SOLD!!!
$15,500
Selling my 1989 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62. It currently resides in Los Angeles. I bought it four years ago in Tucson, AZ. According to Carfax it has lived its entire life in Arizona with a year in Idaho and now California.
It currently has 219,000 miles. It sits on newish 32x11.5 BFG KO2s on the original steel wheels that I painted black. Mechanically everything is great. 4X4 works great.
Here's what I've done in the last four years of owning her.
+ Installed Old Man Emu Heavy suspension in both front and back including shocks and steering stabilizer
+ Installed transmission cooler
+ Replaced the starter
+ Replaced the alternator
+ Replaced steering box
+ New Optima Red battery
+ New distributor and wires
+ New brake pads
+ Added leather BMW front powered seats
Roof rack and rooftop tent NOT INCLUDED
The body needs some work. The driver's side rocker panel was damaged by the previous owner. No rust and no damage to the door. The left rear bumper corner got hung up and is scuffed. The original paint has small random chip marks throughout. Some surface rust just started to appear around the rear window. With new baby I haven't had a chance to do take out the window and fix it, but it's not bad. No rust anywhere else.
The interior ok. The headliner is dirty but the rear seat is clean and the front seats have been replaced with comfortable BMW leather powered seats. A Bluetooth CD player has been added and there is an Aux cable for lights.
Here's a walkaround.
I documented the original build on Popular Mechanics.

I'm Rebuilding My Dream Car, a Beat-Up Land Cruiser
Toyota Land Cruisers have a legendary reputation around the world for their durability and off-road prowess. The classic 60 series are getting up in age, but with the right maintenance and modifications, they can still make a trusty daily driver or weekend wheeler.
