TRADE for my Land Cruiser

1994 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80. 112K original miles. This is the best year IMO because it is the last year without 1st gen air bags, the last year with the “TOYOTA” grill, and last year with the “Big Bus” A442 transmission. I am the second owner and have owned this amazing vehicle for over 2 years. The original owner is a wealthy car collector from Santa Monica. He had this rig for 20 years and it was maintained by a single Toyota master mechanic named Yoshi the entire time he owned it. Oil changes were performed every 2K miles with other maintenance completed ahead of schedule with only Toyota OEM parts. I have continued that level of maintenance using only OEM parts and fluid changes every 1,500 miles. Front knuckles were just completed a couple months ago using all OEM seals and gaskets with Koyo bearings all around and Redline Moly Grease. No expense has ever been spared when it comes to maintenance!

The seats, dash, and carpet have been completely covered since day 1 of ownership. They are in amazing nearly factory original condition. It comes with the factory cloth mechanical seats that are very desirable as they hold their value due to the quality of the fabric. The rig has been garaged its entire life and the original metallic desert dune paint looks extremely good for the vintage.

The build is somewhat mild in an attempt to keep the vintage look while slightly adding to the capability. It has a Warn 8K winch, ARB front bumper, PIAA and HELLA lights front and rear,

roof rack with lights (not pictured because it doesn’t fit in the garage), OME 2.5 inch lift, and brand new Toyo Open Country 35 inch tires. It has the center diff lock, but not F/R. This truck would be a great candidate for ARB lockers if you’re looking to wheel it in the rocks, but it is super capable how it stands.

This is not a “dime-a-dozen” FZJ80! This is the finest example I have ever seen and its condition is top notch given the age. I have been offered both $15,000 cash (sight unseen) as well as a FJ40 worth north of 20K as a straight-up trade. In the end, I declined on both offers as my rig was intended to be an heirloom that would be passed down to my infant son. The reality I have been dreading is that I am not using this rig to its potential and I have always wanted a Tacoma to play around with. My rig is just too nice (to me) to be bounding around through the desert with.

I’m looking for a straight trade for preferably a Tacoma, but would consider other 4x4 trucks. I would even consider a classic muscle car too. I’m not looking for a late 80s exo-cage buggy with 300,000 miles on it. I’m looking for someone who wants a Land Cruiser and has a truck or car of equal value/condition that simply wants/needs something different. Trading is difficult as it is an emotional process, but if this interest you, PM me with any further info you may need.

I’m only including a few pics…if you’re interested, hit me up and I’ll include many more!
