1989 Toyota Land Cruiser

Up for sale is my 1989 Toyota FJ62 Landcruiser. This is no ordinary FJ62!!! This has been a 10+ year build on a cruiser that is now a manual. 5-speed. H55 tranny conversion. lifted. lockered and ready for you to take to the mountains and USE!!! Here is a list of all (most?) of the mods:

·      H55 5-speed factory transmission conversion - 2013. Professionally installed by Redline Landcruisers in Colorado Springs. This is how the 62 was meant to be built. Lower low gear and a higher 5th gear makes this an on-road and off-road beast! Included new clutch master and slave cylinders.

·      Transfer case rebuilt by Redline at the time of the tranny swap.

·      Old Man Emu 2. 5” heavy/heavy lift kit - 2010. Professionally installed by Predator 4x4 in Colorado Springs. Steering stabilizer. greasable shackles. new shocks. extended sway-bar links. The whole package.

·      Powertrax locker installed in rear diff - 2010. This is no ordinary locker. it is a next gen auto-locker with a syncro. does not affect drivability on-road. but is always there for you off-road!

·      Custom Redline dual-swing rear bumper - 2011. Holds spare. hi-lift. shovel. axe. hook points and two fuel cans with a 2” tow capability. Professionally built and powder-coated. Wiring harness installed to complete tow capability. All included!

·      Heavy-duty front bumper with grill guard. hook points and heavy winch plate. Professionally sandblasted and powder coated to match new rear bumper.

·      12. 00 pound Titan winch with remote control capability! Canadian company. check them out!

·      Five 33x12. 5-15 BFG AT TA-KO tires. Only about 15K on them and they are on a 5-tire rotation. which means 20% more wear life. They are from Discount tire and all rotation and damage certificates are fully transferrable.

·      Tires are mounted on five custom-built black spoked steelies. also from Discount with 4. 5” backspacing.

·      High-flow dual 2. 5” exhaust from the downpipes back. Modern dual-in. dual-out Magnaflow single CAT and muffler. No more y-pipe. dual-CAT and exhaust wrapping around below the frame on the driver's side that ALWAYS gets pinched by a rock.

·      TLC4X4 expanded air intake with K&N filter. Between this breather and the opened up exhaust there is a significant gain in both power and mileage.

·      Painless brand dual-battery system with driver-selectable isolation solenoid. Add in the blue top. deep-cycle. marine Optima battery and you will never need a jump!

·      Completely replaced all battery cables with 0-guage cables. including all starting cables. grounding wires and second battery system.

·      Upgraded lighting harness and replaced tired sealed-beam headlights with Hella H4 and H1 housings. allowing for replacement of bulbs.

·      Rebuilt felt wipers on steering system.

·      Redline replaced worn u-joints and professionally balanced both drive shafts - 2015.

·      Man-A-Fre 3FE Firepower electronic ignition. with spare ignition module - 2009.

·      Replaced radiator. hoses and water pump- 2012.

·      Replaced Alternator - 2012.

·      Replaced starter - 2012.

·      Brand new Throttle Position Sensor - 2015.

·      Rebuilt brakes and new rotors - 2015.

·      New windshield - fall 2016.

·      Brand new Idle Speed Control valve - 2016. Don't overlook this! Most of these FJ62's will idle high because this valve is BAD BAD BAD! Mine is a brand new FACTORY part shipped from AUSTRALIA. Idles like a purring kitten now!!!

·      CruiserCrap sound deadening pad installed from the firewall back and over the rear wheel wells. Significantly decreases road noise.

·      Replaced lift struts on rear window. no more getting hit in the head!

·      Religiously changed oil. lubed all fittings and rotated all five tires every 5k miles. High capacity Wix 51773 filter and ZDDP zinc additive to protect the flat-tappet engine!

·      Spare parts and a FACTORY repair manual (impossible to find in hard-copy) complete the package. I also have lots of manuals (engine. chassis. hubs) on PDF that I can email to you.

As with all 25+-year-old vehicles. not all is scotch and cigars. Here is a (short) list of the not-so-great:

·      A few dings and dents. shown in the pictures. as well as some minor ‘Colorado pin striping' on the sides. As expected from a used 4-wheeler. No fear in taking her ANYWHERE.

·      Clear coat on the hood is roached. Parked in the sun while at work.

·      Antenna no longer goes down. It is up and the radio works great!

·      Two open spots in the carpet from the tranny swap. I cover up the shifter spot with a towel. but a FJ60 carpet set is not too expensive.

·      Tear in left side of driver's seat. every Cruiser has one!
