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, coil sprung, Full Float Rear axle, and last year with the “Big Bus” A442 transmission. I am the second owner and have owned this beast for over 3 years. The original owner is a wealthy car collector from Santa Monica. He had this rig for 22 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 classic 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 and just installed a HARROP/EATON front E-Locker! For those in the know...the finest electromagnetic locker available anywhere! FWIW...the front axle alone is worth nearly 3K.

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 $17,000 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!

 

I'm not interested... but I'd LOVE to see more photos. interior/exterior whatever you got. I'd really like to see the dash.

 

The dash and everything else has been covered since day 1...it's perfect and uncracked! Here's a sneak peek at part of the dash with the seat covers still on.

 

Wow! She is gorgeous!

awesome. thanks! if I were closer I'd be comin for a look!

 

Not interested but damn she looks good!Good luck OP!Be hard to part with her in any way,shape or form.

 

Does it have the 3rd row seating?

 

Yes it does...It has the desirable single "jump seat" in the cargo area that has never had a human body seated in it. There were also full 3rd row bench seats available that could be easily installed, but no one really likes these. It will hold 6 comfortably with this configuration and can have an additional jump seat installed, which would give room for 7 with seatbelts.

 

Any pictures of the rest of the interior?

 

Rear seats with covers off...PERFECT!

 

Had a few offers, but MUST be 4x4 and lowish mileage. Prefer a mild lift/build

 

I'd treat this thing like a shovel if I had it...she's a beaut!

 

That is such a sweet ride. I would love one someday.
