La Aduana: 1987 FJ60 Toyota Land Cruiser

/ June 9th, 2016

The folks over at Adventure Driven always find cool trucks, and this 60 series would certainly make an interesting prospect for an overland build. With fresh rebuilds on darn near everything it is ready for whatever trip you throw at it; be it a drive to the coffee shop or a journey to South America. Check out the original advertisement below.

For Sale a rust free Arizona 1987 FJ60 with original paint located in Flagstaff AZ. Clear title in hand. This Land Cruiser has had a ton of work done recently. It has been a daily driver for a couple of years now. This 60 series is a perfect candidate for a Overland build, It has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Very original with nothing cut up and hacked on. This cruiser is a treat to drive and is extremely reliable. No expense was spared rebuilding the engine, 5 speed transmission and t-case rebuild. This cruiser is solid and needs very little done to be adventure ready.

Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Chris didn’t receive a real taste of the outdoors until moving to Prescott, Arizona, in 2009. While working on his business degree, he learned to fly and spent his weekends exploring the Arizona desert and high country. It was there that he fell in love with backcountry travel and four-wheel drive vehicles, eventually leading him to Overland Journal and Expedition Portal. After several years of honing his skills in writing, photography, and off-road driving, Chris now works for the company full time as Expedition Portal's Senior Editor while living full-time on the road.
