Overland Classifieds :: 1987 Land Cruiser FJ60 with GFC RTT and Engine Rebuild

Whether you believe the Toyota Land Cruiser to be the G.O.A.T. or not, there’s no denying the popularity of this vehicle among off-road enthusiasts and overland travelers, and for good reason: they are darn-near bulletproof. Earlier models had solid axels, and the overall reliability and durability of this platform has seen it travel to all corners of the globe.

From The Seller:

“I’m listing my 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 in Silver Metallic. 121,000 miles, 2F, and H55F 5-speed transmission. I have owned this Land Cruiser since January 2019 and have put 14,000 miles on it in just over 3 years. Everything is in perfect mechanical working order and a lot of work has been done specifically in the last 12 months that I will list below. I have the original window sticker and all Toyota literature, along with a service manual and tool kit. Clean title, no accidents.

The Cruiser comes with a V1 GoFastCampers rooftop tent and accompanying telescoping ladder. The tent has zero issues and is in like-new condition. Due to much interest in the tent itself, I will offer it for sale separately for a price of $4,000 with the 60 series gutter mounts ($500 retail) starting April 18th in order to give some time for interest in the cruiser as a complete build. The price of the Land Cruiser without the GFC would be $25,000.

The driver’s seat has a small tear and the dash has a few cracks. There are 3 rust spots on the Cruiser itself worth noting. Two around the rear driver side wheel well, and one section just outside the door seal on the rear passenger wheel well. All are pictured. There is surface rust on sections of the A-pillars but would be easy to grind and touch up with paint. None of these spots have gotten worse during my ownership due to consistent washing and care. The frame has been coated in POR15 and is in great shape. The rear third of the frame had surface rust prior to the POR15, which can still be seen inside the C Channels on the rear of the frame. None of which is cause for concern. As shown in the pictures, the rear bumper has paint chipping and rust near the spindles.”
