1996 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80 – Triple Locked, Built & Maintained Asking $13,000

Selling my 1996 FZJ80 Land Cruiser. Factory triple locked, clean, and set up as a very capable trail/overland rig. I have a bunch more photos of the underside and everything else I just can't add all of them on here as it's over 50+ photos. I am happy to answer any questions. Open to Reasonable offers. Asking $13,000

Drivetrain & Suspension

Factory triple locked (front, center, rear lockers)
6" Ironman Foam Cell Pro lift
- New upper & lower control arms
- Extended panhard bars
Chromoly front axles & birfields
Routed diff breathers higher for water crossings
Bypassed rear heater (less to leak, simplifies the system)

Wheels & Tires

37x12.50R17 Milestar tires
17" Raceline steel beadlock wheels

Brakes, Steering & Engine

Front end modified to run 4Runner 11" or 13" calipers & rotors (better braking options)
ABS deleted – it was acting up with the 37s, especially in snow, so it’s now a simpler, more reliable non-ABS setup
New OEM power steering pump
EGR delete with resistor to prevent CEL
New starter (within the last year)
Routine oil changes kept up
Plugs, wires, distributor done about a year ago
Axles serviced and new brakes within the last year

Exterior & Interior

Safari snorkel
Slee Short Bus Front bumper
WeatherTech floor mats
Homemade rear drawer system – super handy for tools, camping gear, recovery gear, etc.
Includes 3rd row seats (currently out but go with the truck)

Extras Included

Spare birfields
Old OEM axles
3rd row seats as mentioned above
And much more seals and small parts.

Known Needs / To-Do List

Front double-cardan (DC) driveshaft
Oil pump gasket replacement (typical 1FZ seep – not catastrophic, just should be done)
Rear sway bar
If you want it “perfect” for hard wheeling:
- Front fenders trimmed or replaced
- Rock sliders
- Custom rear bumper

This is a solid, triple-locked 80 with the expensive stuff already done: lift, chromoly front end, brakes, steering, and a lot of fresh maintenance. It’s ready to wheel as-is and just needs a few finishing touches to be a dialed, go-anywhere rig.
