Selling my 1985 FJ60 Land Cruiser project truck. $6,500
Located near Chautauqua Lake, NY. Clean Ohio title in hand. I live in Ohio but store the truck at my parents garage in NY (about 2 hours from me).

I originally purchased this truck in 2001 with 120k miles when I lived in SF, CA, and it was my daily driver for 6 years. I sold it in 2006 when I moved back to Cleveland, OH. In 2018, I reached out to the person who bought it from me and bought it back. It has been driven little since then and has become a project I simply can't make time for, so it's time to move on.
  • 240k miles
  • Original 2F engine – runs strong, pulls hard. If not run regularly, it turns over a bit before starting, but it has always started for me.
  • New clutch installed within the last 500 miles
  • New OME Suspension with 2" shackles partially installed. Front is installed, rear is shipped with the truck (see photos)
  • Stainless steel exhaust (newer, solid condition)
  • Last time I drove it was from Cleveland to Chautauqua, about 140 miles. No issues.
  • Significant body panel rust - please see photos. Frame is strong with only surface rust - see undercarriage drive by video linked below
  • Newer battery. Previous owner wired it for a dual battery, but it currently has only one.
  • Needs new tires. Includes new unmounted FJ Company Expedition wheel set. See below for details.
  • Rear interior carpet has been removed - needs replaced
  • Catalytic converter has been removed
  • No front bumper
This is a running and driving project. You can load it on a trailer or drive it away depending on your appetite for adventure, but if driving far, I would suggest new tires first. It’s mechanically sound, but the body has significant rust and will need metal work. The floors, lower quarters, and typical high-rot areas need attention. Interior is serviceable but original.

Walk around and idling video. Sorry for the wind noise, this was taken during a blizzard: Walk-around video
Drive-over undercarriage video: Drive-over Video
Note: the rock shield was removed to install the front suspension and is not present in the drive-over video, but will ship with the truck with associated hardware.

Included in the sale are a set of 4 new uninstalled wheels from FJ Company. These are the 6.0 by 16" Expedition wheels without hubcaps. They retail for $295 each. If you do not want to purchase these wheels with the truck, no problem, just subtract $1k from the sales price. See photo library, or the following link: Link to wheels

It's been a great truck - many good memories - I'd be happy to see it have another life. Reach out with questions.

Hey @offshore,
I'm super interested in the vehicle. Ideally would be making the purchase without the extra tires, so for the 5.5k. If you send me a DM we can take this to a phone call/texting to settle some details.
Thanks
