Meet Ruby — a 1995 Triple Locked FZJ80 Land Cruiser with 196k miles and a Gen 1 TRD Supercharger (the “blood diamond” of Land Cruiser blowers).
Ruby just underwent a full body-on style restoration and mechanical refresh at Precision Land Cruisers in Colorado Springs. There is virtually nothing on this truck that hasn’t been restored, rebuilt, replaced, or upgraded within the last two months.
This is not a polished-over auction truck. This is a professionally built, mechanically sorted, boosted 80 Series meant to be driven anywhere in the world.

CHASSIS RESTORATION
Ruby started life as an East Coast truck that we rescued before rust destroyed it.
The chassis underwent a full restoration:
• Rust encapsulator applied throughout
• Finished in epoxy-based satin black chassis coating
• Front and rear axles restored
• Stainless brake lines installed o rear axle
Important honesty section:
This is why the truck is not priced at $70k+ today.
The body had previous bodywork before we acquired it. Some bubbling is beginning to return at:
• Lower rear doors
• Rear quarter areas behind bumper wings are shot
• A few additional minor spots
The rear quarter sections behind the bumper wings are rusty. We sealed and stabilized everything, but we are being completely transparent about it. with Bumper on it can't be seen
There is NO major structural frame rust compromising the truck.
Repairs performed:
• One front right body mount replaced
• Small area under steering box was thin
• Steering box reinforcement kit installed over repaired area more than enough to repair it
We have extensive before, during, and after photos documenting the entire process.This is a no bull**** sales process.
This truck was intentionally left in “pre-paint” condition because some buyers would rather purchase a mechanically restored and professionally sorted rig before final paint and bodywork. Plus I won't make any more from it than it is now .
THE PRICE
$35,000 FIRM.
And we mean firm enough that you’d think we double-dosed Viagra.
Trades considered:
• Rear steer crawler LS-powered buggy Atlas-equipped crawler Tons/custom axles
• NO Toyota driveline builds
I know buggies well, so please don’t waste my time or yours with junk offers.
May also consider partial trade for:
• Nice diesel truck
• 1-ton preferred
• Reliable enough for daily driving and cross-country travel
• Roughly $25k trade value plus cash
FUTURE PLANS
Ruby already has an appointment scheduled with The Rust Dr. in Grand Junction, Colorado this fall for:
• Full rust repair
• Complete bodywork
• Fresh paint
Once completed, this becomes a $75k–$80k truck.
If a buyer wants it fully finished now, we can move that process up sooner.
THE IMPORTANT PART
We built an internal invoice for this truck.
If you brought this exact vehicle to Precision Land Cruisers for the same restoration and repairs, the bill would have exceeded $61,000.
We will also extend our shop warranty to the buyer exactly as if you were one of our restoration customers:
• 6 month warranty
• Parts and labor included
Find another professionally restored 30-year-old boosted triple-locked Land Cruiser with that kind of backing for his price..I dare you . I am a very busy shop with not much time for tire kickers. I will do a few emails and some more pics if desired. a Phone call or two.Then it's time to see it in person.
More pics in the facebook ad. Plus I have 100s before during and after the restore
