I have for sale an FJ60 with a 12HT mated to an H55f. An 1984 FJ60, great truck, is a blast to drive and it'd be fun to keep and update, but I don't have the time or inclination. Beauregard has all the gubbins folks may be looking for: but the cab has been emptied, and not reinstalled, just sorta put in the back all willy nilly.

15"x8" steel wheels with 2.5" backspacing
ARB front bumper (old style)
1982 8274 Warn winch
Solid Rock Off-Road Rear Bumper - tire carrier, two jerry can carrier, hi-lift jack carrier, hitch, rear quarter panel protection (modified by Metal Tech)
Solid Rock Off-Road Sliders
Notched Cross-member by Metal Tech
Custom Skid Plate for transfer case by Metal Tech
Safari Snorkel

Full engine rebuild on 12Ht around 2010:
Rebuilt Injectors
Re-calibrated injection pump
New A/C Compressor
Rebuilt transfer case
New Toyota H55 5 speed and clutch
Rebuilt and installed full floating rear axle
A Long Range America 40 Gallon extra-sized fuel cell.

Longfield's 30-spline superaxles
4x4 labs six stud 1-ton steering
4.11 diffs
Front ARB Locker with large ARB compressor
Rear Aussie Locker

Corbeau Baja RS driver seat (personally, not my favorite)
Tuffy Console (not installed, but there)
Rear Horizontal Tow Hook
Tailgate Storage Lid by wagongear(dot)com (not installed, but included)

It's all there, and she’s a hoot to drive, but I haven't the time or inclination to make it fancy. Chances are, if I dive into the interior, the next person who buys it might not like what I've done. So she's a true diamond in the rough. It's registered and passed DEQ in Oregon DEQ as a diesel vehicle. It's a 12Ht powered monster that could roll over most anything, and thanks to the enormous fuel cell, it'll pass a station or two before returning for more dinosaur bones.

I'd like $20,000 for it. You could probably drive it home, but I'd suggest a trailer because I hate the Corbeau drivers seat.
If you're interested, DM me. Shipping is on the buyer: was around $2K from Oregon to the east coast.

Oh, and all the quarter panels and bottom are rust free. I'll send more pics if you want them.
PS: it'll need a door lock on the driver's side.
Cheers,
John

Great looking 60. Any idea how many miles are on the 12HT since it was rebuilt in 2010? Also, do you know who did the conversion?
Doing some research for a friend that’s interested in a 61 or a clone.
Thanks
Jimmy

My understanding is that the interior "mod" started once the engine was settled and installed, and it was never finished to drive-worthiness. (Jumbled interior) Very few miles if any, no big adventures. That said I do not know for sure as I was not the engine swapper. I know it didn't run when I got it. Beyond the very dead battery the no start issue was attributed to a fouled fuel cel full of gunk. The long distance tank was installed, as well as another small fuel filter between the cel and the much larger primary filter. She runs like a champ now, and the H55 seems brand new, as it "snicks" into gear in a surprising but satisfying manner. Unlike the H55 on my 80, which was "used" on install.

Thank you for the reply John. A couple more questions…did you source the fuel tank for this truck? And curious how long you’ve owned this 60? Do you have owner history going back to the install. If so we can take this offline as I’d prefer to have a live conversation with you. My cell is 713-805-3962. Lastly, what is a “ 4x4 labs six stud 1-ton steering?” I’m familiar with everything else mentioned, but not the 4x4 labs steering.
Does the AC work and does the motor shut down with the key?
Thanks again.
Jimmy
 
Jimmy,
The tank was in the back of the rig when I bought the 60 with an 80 series for my wife. Since the original was gummed up, my tech, Josh Harper at Land Cruisers Northwest suggested installation. The previous owner was on Mud, his call sign was Ducks. He did the install with some buddies of his in SoCal. Alas, his relationship with both the LCs changed with personal changes and an obsession with the new Bronco. I have no idea about the steering either, but it is pretty smooth... my tech Josh says it's a fancy add on for durability. I can't speak to that. It works. I'm happy to call, but I haven't had coffee yet. If you'll give me 2 hours, I can drop you a line.
Cheers,
John

Yes sir. I do understand your west coast time. Give me a call when you’re free and look forward to speaking with you.
