Selling my beloved 1985 FJ-60. It is pretty much turnkey for any sort of adventure.
I’m newly married and it is time to get a newer (200 series) Land Cruiser.
My wife and I recently returned from a three-month 13,000 mile trip to Alaska and Canada in the FJ-60 and it performed as designed. Read about the trip to Deadhorse at the below link.

I bought the FJ-60 in June of 1998 in El Paso, TX, twenty years ago, being the third owner. The truck has been a Texas truck.
Truck runs and handles great. I get about 11mpg on the highway.
Owning this truck has been a labor of love and I have made a lifetime of trips with it. Certainly, a head turner when you drive it. Just time for someone else to enjoy driving a piece of Land Cruiser history.
The truck currently has 305,107 miles on and about 55 thousand miles on the 350 Ram Jet engine. The H55 transmission has about 65 thousand miles. Both the engine and trans were purchased new.
The V-8 conversion was done in 2012 by Wolf Creek Rod Works. The 350 Ramjet was a crate motor not a junkyard engine.
Included is a Techmate Pro diagnostic tool. Over $500.00 new
