August 1984 FJ60 in medium blue - Mileage: 185,xxx
This 60 was bought from a broker who had sourced this cruiser from the original owner. I am the 2nd owner to have ever registered this cruiser. This cruiser spent 99% of it's life in Washington state, With it having zero rust! Now it's home is Charleston SC. The original owner as well as myself kept it garaged, and didn't smoke or allow pets. The paint is original and for it's age is amazing! clear coat is flaking on two doors that's it. I bought this 60 last summer, and I have spent a lot of time and resources getting it to where it is now. I have receipts for most of the work due to me not being very mechanical. I have since hooked up with a landcruiser club and have learned a lot. I will list what I have done, and if it was a mechanic or if it was me and my fellow cruiser heads. mechanically this thing runs like a top, very smooth idle 650rpm/ac idle 900. when cold 4 or 5 pumps on the gas pedal and it cranks right up. When hot it just turns right over. This 60 is desmogged as well. I have kept most parts I have taken off this 60 and it will come with it, plus I have bought lots of other things for it in case things were to break (i'm a worry wort!) Comes with factory skid plate, was taken off for pics.
All this was done in the past 11 months!

The Good
Everything works on this 60 as it should. I have spent much time making sure of this, there is no issues! The head light washer squirts, the carb fan cuts on for 15 mins after vehicle is shut off, 4wd works perfectly, the locking hubs turn smooth as butter. interior is perfect except for carpet has some traffic wear but nothing terrible. Headliner is perfect with no tears or droop. The clutch is crisp and shifts with ease! The 2F is very peppy for a 2F. I have driven a 40 with a 2f and it felt very sluggish in comparison.
The Bad
Very slight front timing cover leak - add half a quart maybe every 1500-2000 miles.
two passenger doors have clear coat flaked off - These pictures were with no spray on detailer or wax, I've been slowly working the flaking down the doors with pressure washer. When waxed you can't even tell the clear coat it gone. Driver side sun visor likes to flop in your face sometimes.
The Other
When I said im a worry wort and buy extra stuff I meant it! I have a whole other set of ac vents two of which are close-able. I was going to eventually change the two middles with the close-able ones, so all vents could be shut off. I have a whole extra set of seat belts. I have a few windows cranks, headrest post, clips for the grills, extra driver side seat track, extra led bulbs plus original bulbs, and even a full knuckle rebuild kit ( doesn't need it, but one of the most common issues with these so I went ahead and bought it). Also comes with a ton of old school manuals, original window sticker, and some interior sticker decals (in case the ones on the glove box ever began to flake) There is also other things im forgetting for sure that will be included.

I'm not wanting to sell this as much as trade it. I don't need to sell it or trade it for that matter. Cash price would be around 23k.
