1990 FJ62 Land Cruiser 3F-Injected 4 liter with Automatic trans
1990 Toyota Land Cruiser Description
After owning my Land Cruiser for 20 years (only the second owner), I need to make room in my driveway. The FJ62 was only produced between 1988 and 1990, with changes from the FJ60 including fuel injection and an automatic transmission, and an update to the grille/headlight look. It has manual-locking hubs, push-button 4-high, and mechanical shifter for 4-low.It's not a show-winner, but it's in great overall shape for its age, low-mileage, mechanically sound. Here's the details:
The Good:
- In 2004 I replaced both fenders with new reproductions and two used doors because of rust, and had it repainted the original red. - In 2014 I replaced the power steering pressure hose, most brake lines, master cylinder, wheel cylinders/calipers, and shoes/pads.- In 2015 I replaced the fuel pump, fuel line, and fuel filter, and the muffler/tailpipe combo.- It currently has white wagon-wheel rims with winter tires and lots of tread left on them. I have all five original chrome rims in good shape including spare but the tires are spent.
The Bad:
- A stone chip in the middle of the windshield has spread with a single crack towards the passenger side about 10"; doesn't obstruct driver's view.- The radio only works when it feels like it, usually after it's warmed up a bit. Otherwise it gets power but no sound. I swapped out the original radio/cassette player with a CD player, but the problem is still there. Original radio also included.- Fan belt squeals on hard acceleration,- The left exhaust header is cracked at the oxygen sensor mount (the pipe between the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter).
The Ugly:
- Michigan winters took their toll, and last year I did some amateur bodywork to both rear corners, two doors and the tailgate. Not the prettiest repair, but all rotted metal was cut away and replaced with 18-gauge steel; see the close-up pictures.- The roof rails rusted under the chrome trim; I removed the trim, coated the rails with anti-rust spray, and held up fine through last winter. I still have the chrome.- The headliner was sagging so I removed it, but still have the bows if you want to replace it.
I've included the bad with the good because I don't believe in ripping anyone off. As with any used vehicle though it is sold as-is, where-is with no warranty expressed or implied. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me any time, or call 517-667-0914 evenings only.
***Edited to add: The vehicle history report shows a previous accident/salvage title. I was unaware of this until I posted this ad and saw the report. The person we bought it from in 1996 was a salvage operator who said he bought it new for his daughter in the salvage company's name. There was no structural damage noted by the body shop when I had it repainted in 2004.
