I purchased an 84 FJ60 nearly two months ago and out of nowhere got a job offer in California. Rather than fight all the emissions and haul it out there, I've decided to sell it. I've put a lot of money and sweat into this thing with every intention of keeping it around a long time. You can see the build at http://www.markbillingsby.com/catego.../land-cruiser/ .
I've really only had a chance to drive it around for about a week now. It could probably use some tweaking and replacement of some of the vacuum hoses, but it is running fine. The odometer read 143k when I picked it up. The speedo cable was disconnected/broken. I installed a new one and it's ticking again.
Engine work: Complete tune up, new radiator, water pump, thermostat, belts, battery (Die Hard Marine Platinum). Changed all oils throughout vehicle. They were pretty clean when I drained them. The diffs had a little milkiness to them, but not bad. There is also an overdrive case attached to the transfer. It has a separate stick to shift it in and out.
Body and Frame: Kept the body on, but wire wheeled the entire frame. Painted with Rust Bullet and then hit it with some rattlecan Rustoleum. Cleaned and painted both axles and drive shafts. Extended braided steel brake lines. Lines flushed and bled brakes work great. There wasn't a lot, but patched all the rust in the bed and on the rear of the body. That's as far as I've got. There are a couple holes on the quarters in the wheel wells. The drivers side rocker panel is rough. The insides of the fenders on the rear of the wells have a couple spots as well. There are no holes entering the interior of the vehicle.
Interior is in great shape. There is a small tear on the outside of the drivers seat. The headliner looks good. No cracks in dash. Has cassette player that sounds horrible. Also the center console includes a nice assortment of anything from Bob Marley to U2 that I will throw in with the deal!
Upgrades: I added an OME 2/5" lift. Medium springs in the front and heavies on the rear. Greasable shackles, OME steering stabilizer, extended sway bar links, extended stainless braided lines. American Eagle 15x8 wheels with Maxxis Big Horn 33x12.5.
Overall I've got over $9k invested. It's a great start on what will eventually be a great Cruiser. I had planned on spending another 4-5k to complete it. Willing to let it go for $8500k. Contact me if your interested.
