1996 Toyota Land Cruiser Description
For Sale, 1996 FZJ80 Land Cruiser.
Rebuilt by one of the finestLand Cruiser shops in the nation,
ACC Garage in Atlanta. Since it's rebuild I have only put around 3,000 miles on it.A little history. I love Land Cruisers. This is my third. I still have my first one, a 1970 FJ40, and I sold my FJ62 about three years ago. I picked this FZJ80 up about two years ago. I was looking for a new project car, because I like fixing broken things.
Mechanically speaking this FZJ80 is in the best shape of its life since it left the dealership. I also upgraded the interior, with the intention of eventually getting around to the exterior for a repaint, but that hasn't happened.
Please look closely at the pictures, and if you need a better quality photograph, or want to see something specific please PM me with your request.
I would like to sell this because I am about to purchase a TRD Off Road 4-Runner, and the wife won't let me keep both.

Below is a list of items that in my opinion may need some work at some point.
- Paint Job (I would rate the paint job about 4/10. At some point in it's life it was repainted, but the quality was very poor). The white FJ80 didn't come with a clear coat from the factory, and this shows.
- Muffler. The existing one rattles a little bit, but the catalytic converter is fine.
- Windows have trouble rolling down in the cold, but work fine in the summer and spring. This seems to be a trend in all Land Cruisers with power windows (my FJ62 did the same thing). It's not the motors, but the hardened weatherstripping runs on both sides of the windows. I received an estimate from ACC to replace the window runs (both the inside and outside of the window). Will send it to you if you would like.
- This has a few small rust spots. It lived the first part of its life in New York state. In my opinion none of it is major. The worst spot is at the driver side rear wheel well (see photo), some bubbling around the window weatherstripping at the front wind shield, and some minor surface rust on some parts of the frame.
- Second row passenger seat latching mechanism has a broken extension rod. More of a pain to deal with than anything. Seat latches fine.
- Makes a few weird sounds every now and then that I have not investigated.
This bid does not include the Yakima Racks or Accessories.
Love this Land Cruiser. Between the originalpurchase price of the vehicle, all of the ACC upgrades, and the interior upgrades, I have spent close to $37,000. Hate I have to sell it, but my loss is somebody's gain. Once again PM me if you need some more info.
Thanks
