Description

First off, I don't want to sell this car. I love this truck more than anything I've ever owned. But money's tight, so it's through clenched teeth that I offer up my FJ62 for sale.
I've had this car for just over 6 years and I'm the second owner. I drive it daily and it has never let me down once. I keep it tuned up and maintained, but I also use it, so it's not a showroom piece.
Mechanics... Like I said, it drives and drives. Rebuilt the transmission about 4 years ago, working great. Just had new shocks and water pump/hoses installed last month. Got a new radiator and master cylinder couple years ago. Plus all the maintenance in-between.I have original jack, manual, and tool kit, and almost all records.Just passed CA smog last month and is current on registration.
Mechanically, there are only two things worth factoring into your decision: 1. A/C is not working (could just need a recharge, could need a compressor, not sure); and 2. It will be needing tires at some point in the next year probably.
Exterior has roof rack with utility lights (some of them needs new bulbs). Brush guard with fully operational winch. Heavy-duty trailer hitch. Sailboat-style ladder on back. Body has some minor spots, scratches, and dings here and there. Only area that might need attention someday is some rust on the inside edge of front passenger door frame, between the door and the windshield. It's been that way since I bought it and hasn't progressed. I've had the windshield replaced, which has helped to keep those spots dryer in the rain.
Interior is pretty solid. Edge of the driver's seat has the standard climbing-in-and-out-butt-tear. No headrests for the back seats, which is one less thing to do when you lay the seat down. Had to replace the original stereo. Some people care about that, but it stopped working and I like having a USB hookup, so to each their own. Also has a flexiblemap light and altimeter mounted on the dash and even has a secret kill switch so that no one else can start it (if you choose). Currently missing one power window switch, but I've already bought and have a brand new replacement switch, just needs swapped in. Also the speedometer's bearings need lubricated, so it currently squeaks a bit, still works though.
I want to give you all kinds of reasons NOT to buy it, but I'm going to be completely honest... If you're looking for a Land Cruiser that's not twenty-five thousand dollars, but you also want one you can actually drive everyday (confidently), then as much as I don't want to admit it: This is the Land Cruiser you want to buy. Seriously. It's just a great truck.
