1993 FZJ80 1FZ engine and 4spd auto (A442) in good cosmetic and running condition.

I really don't want to sell it. We sold our FJ62 and upgraded to the 80 to get the 3rd row for 6+ passenger trips. It worked well for that, but my wife likes to travel on long trips with a god-awful amount of stuff. There just isn't enough space for her 3 bags of crap and her feet in the 80 series foot well. Despite my arguments, it comes down to fewer trips if she isn't happy about travelling. So, after putting time, money, and effort into doing PM and upgrading tires and shocks, I've got to let it go after only getting to put 3000 miles on it.

Here's the skinny:
215k. The PO owned it since 1994 with 10k. It was mostly driven by the wife. I have lots of dealer records including the orginal sales brochure and other sales paraphernalia. Short story, well maintained and easy miles.
Runs and drives great.
It's a head turner. (Neighbor dropped by when we broght it home and thought it was brand new -- obviously not a Land Cruiser person.)
Just replaced the valve cover gasket and brake master cylinder.
Factory front and rear lockers.
ARB front bull bar
New Rancho 9000XL adjustable shocks with 2400 miles on it.
New Hankook Dynapro ATm all terain shoes -- I like these tires and you only get them with a full price offer. 2400 miles still have the nubbins on the sidewall. The tires have a transferable lifetime of the tire hazard warranty: if a tire goes south that tire is replaced at no cost and the other 3 are replaced at a prorated rate based on remaining life of tires. Hazard covers offroad oopsies as well as on road.
Typical wear/breakdown of front leather seats, especially driver's. Covered with premium sheepskins.
Sony CD/DVD headunit, amp, upgraded speakers. Could use a sub and I've got a bracket for that.
Handful of random interior parts to help fully restore this cruiser, including some extra factory dash switches for CDL mod or accessories.

It's not perfect, but it's darned nice. Please give it a good home. $7000

What's the price? If your wife is like mine, it's better to re-train the wife than upgrade cars.... A 100 isn't that much bigger. Unless you really have a secret want for something bigger. If we had an Excursion instead of a 100, you can bet it'd be full if my wife were going.
 
Yeah, as much as I like my car (s), I like my wife more. Much more difficult to replace... :)

I need to change my signature. We are in the market for a Sequoia. The foot well of the 100 is big enough, but she got enamored with all the interior space. I'm sure she'll fill it up too. We would certainly be down for a trade or trade+ cash for a good Sequoia.

We are in the Portland Oregon area on the Washington side of the river.
 
For those interested in a trade/part trade, a 100 Series or even a 62 are also of interest.

Here are a couple pix I have on my phone. Note it is dark green, not black. I'll try to post more soon.

I found a couple pix more on my computer from my old phone. A couple of the sheep skin seat covers installed and one from the day I brought it home. More to come. If there is something specific you would like to see a photo of, let me know.

Also, the Hankook tires are size 285/75R16 (~33 x 11 in inches.) I have a matched set of M+S rated All Terrains 265/75R16s with about 20k miles left that were on the truck when I bought it. They would need to be remounted/balanced, but buyer's choice.

This FJZ does pretty well on gas. I haven't had it long enough to do any solo road trips. I get 12-13 mpg in town/mixed. On a ski trip to Bend Oregon and back I averaged 16 mpg with 4 adults, 2 kids, winter gear, luggage rack and skis on top. On our trip to and from Yellowstone I averaged about 12 mpg with 2 adults, 2 kids, cargo box and other gear on top, inside the cabin completely full of gear, and towing our little 1800 lb camping trailer.

I have also installed a headrest DVD with game controller on the front passenger seat. The games are about original NES quality, but they have been entertaining for my oldest. Plays movies well too with built in speakers and wireless or wired headphones. I have the matching unit for the driver's side, but the baby isn't old enough to use it, so I haven't installed it yet. Both head rest units as well as original head rests are available with the sale.

There has been some interest in pix of the interior and others. So here they are. Interior is in good shape. The rear seats show some light cracking, but are not split or broken in any way, still very comfortable. The 3rd row has barely been used and was stored for a while by the PO. Carpets are in good shape. Headliner has a few blemishes.

Among these photos is the stack of records and such I have for this rig. I can't guarantee completeness, because I've only had this car for about 6mo, but the records go back over 20 years. There was nothing major in the records that I noticed, a few knit-picky things. Oil, fluids, and brakes are most of it. Everything by the book and mostly at dealerships. Example, the previous owner always used Toyota spec coolant, etc.

Note, we are now no longer interested in Sequoias. Cash is fine. Trades for a 100 series or the right 60 series.

Here's another picture. I'm not especially in a hurry as I'm still looking for my replacement rig. As an anniversary prestent, I got the green light to buy or build another 60 series. We're looking for a clean (built or not) 60 or 62 for me and my wife will drive a 100, GX470 or maybe 4th Gen 4runner with the 3rd row. A trade that works well for everyone would be cool. Cash is always OK too.

If I keep the tires, I'd like to get $6k for my 80.

Is the rig still available? I'm down in Bend but would be interested. Thanks,

Hey Gordon. Yep, I've still got it.
There is about a 50% chance we'll take the 80 camping around Bend this weekend. PM me if you want to try and work out a meet up.
 
Thanks - I would love to meet up but headed to the coast it looks like from friday day to sunday night. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer but don't seet the pM option on the screen. Feel free to text me at 541-598-6079 if you guys head this way and I will try to meet up.
thanks and have fun in bend,
Gordon
 
Cool. Enjoy the coast. We're planning to stay in Bend until Monday then head home.

I'll shoot u a text in a sec.

Btw, PM is now called Conversation or something. Can't easily tell while on my phone. You can tap on a person's avatar and get an option to have a 1:1 discussion. PM= personal message, iirc.
