Hey all,
I am selling a 1992 FJ80 which I acquired back in May from a dealer in Arizona, see it here on craigslist out 1992 Toyota Land Cruiser - FJ80 - 3FE engine. This rig is totally rust free underneath and shows very well inside and out as it is a lifetime AZ vehicle.
The 3fe idles and runs strong! When I bought it I had it inspected and all checked out. However on delivery there were a few hidden issues which prevented me from smogging the car in the glorious state of CA. Engine idling rough and a leaking gas tank. I replaced the gas tank and updated the entire ignition system, set the timing and tps, & replaced all the vac hoses, pcv valve hoses, etc. It now idles and runs great. Compression checked and is solid across 6 cylinders. However in the process of doing this work I changed my mind and decided to keep my restored first gen 4runner. In addition after doing all this work I still can not get the HC at idle below threshold, needs to be below 120 and am at 287 ppm. California catalytic converters are going to be $700 which I do not want to invest since I do not plan on keeping. This truck would be a great option for someone who doesn't need to worry about smog or who has a HC idle threshold above 287 or buy here in CA with the disclosure that you will need new cats or some fancy trick to pass smog. I am happy to send a copy of the smog #'s if this is important, I can scan this in from work on monday.
These pictures are the dealer shots, vehicle is in same condition minus that I removed the window tint as it was significantly scratched and messed up so windows are clear.
Other than the above this vehicle is in great shape and with the standard baselining will make a great rig for someone. Send me an private message if you are interested, I will pass on my email or phone # so we can discuss. I am open to offers but am not in a huge rush to sell. I feel the price reflects the current issues and the work put in, which still puts me at a major loss. Happy to answer any questions you may have or arrange for inspections, etc.
Pros:
