- Toyota’s Legendary 60-Series Heritage: The FJ60 represents one of the last Land Cruisers to balance true off-road utility with simple, reliable engineering. Known for its body-on-frame construction, solid front and rear axles, and bulletproof drivetrain, the FJ60 remains an icon in the overland community. This particular example retains its original styling and design, enhanced by a full professional restoration.
- Proven 4.2L Inline-Six with EFI & Upgraded Components: Powering this FJ60 is its original 4.2L 2F inline-six, rebuilt approximately 25,000 miles ago. The addition of a Sniper Electronic Fuel Injection system enhances drivability, while performance headers and a Flowmaster exhaust give it a throatier sound. A rebuilt front axle, new clutch, and brake upgrades—including 4Runner V6 calipers—ensure this Land Cruiser is both reliable and capable on any terrain.
- Factory Equipment with Modern Comforts: Retaining its period-correct interior, this Land Cruiser has been tastefully upgraded with new upholstery, Dynamat sound insulation, and a modern Kenwood stereo system with Bluetooth capability. The original AM/FM cassette player remains functional, keeping the vintage charm intact. Factory air conditioning blows cold, and all instrumentation works as expected, making it a practical and enjoyable classic to drive.
- Comprehensive Restoration & Off-Road Enhancements: This FJ60 has undergone a thorough restoration, including professional repainting in its factory Toyota color. It rides on Old Man Emu suspension with Bilstein shocks and wears four new Kenda Klever R/T 33” tires wrapped around Toyota OEM FJ40 15” wheels. Dissent front and rear bumpers with integrated LED lighting, an ARB roof rack, and upgraded LED headlights add both utility and style. The vehicle’s frame and undercarriage remain solid, with minor cosmetic imperfections consistent with its age.
