Hi all, my landcruiser (fj60) was stolen last Saturday night in Walnut Creek California . It was a gift from my father as he was passing from cancer so the vehicle has more sentimental value than anything I own. Please if you see it anywhere or any of the parts possibly please flag it.

Description:
1984 fj60
33 inch bfg tires
Arb lockers front and back with air compressor
Rebuilt axels with 4.54 gear ratios
Arb front and rear bumpers
Arb side rails.

That sux
Nice rig. I'll keep an eye out down in San Gabriel Valley area (20 miles east of Los Angeles).
Drive around local area as most stoln rigs up north seem to be used for local joy rides.

Will keep an eye out in Oakland. I put an AirTag in mine. If you get it back you should too.

Lots of theft of these cruisers (and other vehicles) in Cali and Oregon the past few years. Lots of recovery stories too. Most of the time they are found within a few blocks of where they were stolen. Mostly they’re being used for camping and doing drugs until the gas runs out and then they ditch them. Most of the time we hear about a recovery. Keep looking close by.

That’s really sad.

Most of them are recovered - there are lots of threads where these have been stolen and recovered.

At least it's back home. How and where and when was it found, maybe that'll be useful to someone else down the line...

VintageTeqParts.com has the locks and ignition parts you’ll need. They’re tough to come by but Matt has it all. He even has the ability to cut new Toyota keys on a vintage Toyota key cutter.

Steering wheel…. That’s gonna be a tougher find. Keep looking, you’ll find one.
