This starts back is 2018/2019 when a customer reached out to my dad for help selling a LandCruiser.
My Dad( @simonliew ) works on alot of LandCruiser at his shop and was helping a long time customer sell their minty fj60. Their 60 got rented to a movie before being sold to ontario or quebec. Once it sold she said we should come take the parts truck away at no cost. She didn't want the parts to go to waste. The husband had passed away(RIP) and this was the wife's decision. She said she didn't know enough about their 60 series to keep owning it. A clean old-truck is still a old truck unfortunately.
The "parts truck" turn out to be a 1985 BJ60 with a H55f. Oh yeah, it also had 625000KM on the odo.
It had been sitting in their yard under some oak trees for years(probably 10+). On our first look over it it was missing a battery cable,a headlight, and had mismatched doors. other than that it was just rust on the rockers, rear quarters, rear sill land lower tailgate. Everything from there up looked pretty good, including the roof! Looking inside, there were some random parts and brand new replacement steel panels for the rockers, rear wheel wells, and rear quarter panels We also found a brand new in box dash cover!
At this point, we decided not to try and get the truck running and winched it up onto the trailer. We than toured her property before heading out. I decided I wanted to fix up this truck, but wasnt ready to start on it. I was still driving a 1993 hilux surf(1kzte, manual, dual cases, locked, sas with 80 diff.) at the time and it needed work. So My dad asked a friend if we could store it on their property. it sat there for another 3ish years. a couple months ago My dad and I picked it up so i could start working on it.

We drove the bj60 into the shop.
To get it running we plumed in a oil container full of diesel beside the injection pump, hooked up one battery(crossover battery cable was still missing), and started pumping the fuel primer before turning the key. It finaly started running but would keep dying. the EDIC motor kept rotation non stop so it would die if we kept giving it gas. We later found it was the ground from the engine block to the frame that was broken. I unhooked the edic Linkage and the engine started running fine! it doesnt smoke sounds good. Its hard to believe it has 625000 km on it. although we dont know it is was every swapped out since we dont know the history.
