1988 Toyota Land Cruiser Description
Purchased new and serviced at Gene Osborn Toyota, Colorado Springs, CO. Original owner until September 2014. Purchased by a collector from Montana in September 2014. Sold to me May 2015. My wife and I drove the Cruiser home from Bozeman Montana to Northern Nevada without incident. Rust free, accident free body. The original paint, including the dealer added pinstripe, is in very nice condition. A few minor dings and light surface scratches as you would expect for a 29 year old vehicle, otherwise looks terrific! All of the exterior trim is in great condition. Four new Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires mounted on excellent original chrome rims (no rust). Allweatherstripping in excellent condition. Original interior super clean. No rips, tears, stains, or doors. Headliner is near perfect. No sagging, no stains, no tears. Dash, door panels, and interior trim is excellent. Allgauges, switches, windows, locks, lights, wipers, everything works as they should.
I added a light duty, 1 1/4" hitch to haul bikes. As far as I can tell the Cruiser never had a hitch of any kind prior to mine. The roof rack bars and kayak saddles are not included but can be purchased separately if wanted. Sale includes dash pad, sunshade, front seat covers and all weather floor mats. Jack, tools, originalowners manual are present. Documented service history, mileage through CarFax. All recent work documented.
The rear wiper washer works but the tubing needs to be replaced. The rear window has a wiper scrape. The frontwindshield was replaced at some point with non OE glass. The Cruiser has all its smog equipment intact. The county I live in does not require smog check. Buyer will be responsible for all costs to smog the vehicle should smog check be required at buyers location.
During my ownership the following has been done, (OE parts used unless otherwise specified);
New radiator, not OE. Original radiator to go with vehicle if wanted. Water pump, fan clutch, idlers, belts, hoses (including rear heater hoses) thermostat and sending unit. Cooling system flushed.
Complete brake jobincluding new front calipers (rebuilt OE), pads and hardware, not OE. New rear brakes. Drums turned, new wheel cylinders (OE), all new shoes and hardware not OE. System completely flushed.
Major engine tuneup including new plug wires, spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor, PCV valve, valve adjust, fuel injection service, new throttle position sensor, timing, fuel filter and air filter, not OE New OE one piece oil pan gasket. Recent fresh oil and filter. Power steering fluid flushed.
Transmission cooler (radiator style) and temperature gauge added (aftermarket cooler and gauge). Transmission service using Dexron 6 synthetic (fluid changed twice), new gasket and filter.
Complete chassis service. All fluids changed, both diffs, and transfer case. Driveline and suspension lubricated, including steering knuckles. No oil leaks! Normal weeping, but no drips.
No known mechanical issues at this time. This Cruiser runs, drives, steers and stops like it should. 4WD Works great. Absolute pleasure to drive, drive anywhere.
This is a low mile original unmodified, unmolested, collector quality, FJ62 LandCruiser. I would drive this Cruiser across the country without hesitation.

On Jan-22-17 at 08:47:59 PST, seller added the following information:AC converted to R134. Blows ice cold! The PO told me the front axel was done around 100k. I don't have any documentation, but I don't see any leakage and there is no excessive play in the hubs(bearings) nice and tight. I know that when I took the Cruiser to the dealer for inspection the only issue noted was the oil pan gasket needed to be replaced. That was done and there are no oil leaks.
