Description

I have not owned the rig for very long. I had dreams of going through the restoration process, but reality sunk in and I simply do not the have time to oversee a restoration project. I still would like an FJ60 but I am going to have to just pay for one that has already been completely restored.

I love this description of the trucks and is also why I think there is nothing else like them:

“Among the most sought after 4x4 vehicles ever produced is the Toyota Landcruiser FJ60. Classic and rugged the FJ60 has been loved by both the die hard rock climber as well as the professional businessman. These trucks are legendary in off-roading circles for being reliable and extremely agile due to their short wheel base. Given their track record in some pretty inhospitable places well its easy to see why these are growing tremendously in market value.Toyotas 4.2-liter I-6 powered Land Cruisers for decades and provides the torque necessary for off road excitement; its proven itself time and again when conditions were less than ideal.”
