1989 Toyota FJ62 Landcruiser - fully built with rare H55 5-speed Manual

Description for Toyota Land Cruiser 1989

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.

· 12,000 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!

Don't let this beast get away, she is ready to take to the mountains this summer!!! Listed locally, so I reserve the right to delete the listing at any time.
Thanks for looking!!!
