Hello All,
I am very excited to be new to the 60-Series forum. I have lurked on the other forums for years, finally posting for the first time in the 40 series section when I starting working on a 1972 40 series last year. I have been grateful for all the help that has been giving in the past. We currently own a 2004, 1997, 1972, and now this 1988. My wife has been very patient with me thinking that we need a Land Cruiser for each member of the family (5 of us).
I basically bought this without looking at it myself. I was on the phone with the previous owner many times getting information. My brother in law lived close so he went and put eyes on it for me. I asked him to check it out to make sure I was getting correct information from the previous owner. Everything seemed to check out, so we bought it and it is at my brother in laws house. We live about 450 miles away and I will be flying there to drive it home in the next couple of days.
I do have a question for anyone that can answer about driving experience. We owned a 1992 FJ80 with the 3FE several years ago, can I expect this '88 to perform similarly to the '92? I am guessing that it will be, but thought I would ask.
