Description for Toyota Land Cruiser 1984

The Broad Perspective
Well Cared for nice quality driver 1984 fj60 Land Cruiser. I would not hisitate to drive it anywhere. Everything functios correctly on this truck- yes, even the front headlight washers, which have new chck valves. Is a very cool feature, whch I believe started on the 84 Fj60. It is an original west coast truck sold in Oregon. Second owner lived in southern California then to me in North Carolina. The majority of its life was with the first owner up to around 145,000 mile. I took ownership in 2008 from a laptop computer (online website) while I was working in Iraq supporting the US Army with 152,000 miles on it. The odometer failed at 157,000 and flips back to 156,000 and so on. I have clocked only 3000 additional miles since it malfunctioned. So I estimate the mileage is 160,000. Fairly low mileage for a 33 year old 60 series truck. The engine runs strong and the drive is solid and true. One finger is all it takes to steer this vehicle at highway cruise. This vehicle has seen very little to possibly no off road use in its life.
Interior
At 33 years old it is well above average and impressive. I would rate it a conservative 7 out of 10.There is a one inch tear in the headliner. One small crack in the dash and one little cigerate burn (both in hardly noticable locations). Drivers seat has the tradional worn exiting edge wear. The original radio was replaced by a previous owner with a cd player, which I also replaced with new Alpine CD deck with hands free telephone and bluetooth capabilities. Mic is wired and mointed at the rear view mirror. Works nicely.
Exterior
Mostly original paint.When I got the truck it had some dented panels: passenger door, driver front fender and rear lower tail gate. All replaced with OEM toyota used parts. I would rate the trucks exterior a conservative a 6.5 out of 10. This is a solid truck 98 % rust free (excluding light surface rust on frame and/or paint chips which exists on all vehicles for the most part. I have all the original sheet metal I took of, which can go with the truck at BIN price. There is only one locastion which rust penetrated the body and that is on the passenger rear lower quarter panel. THERE ARE NO OTHER AREAS OF CONCERN ON THIS TRUCK. The balance is solid and no previous body work that I can find.
Mechanical
Has some minor oil leaks typical of an old vehicle. small leak on right side of engine maybe valve cover or side engine cover. small berf leak on driver side. no other mechanical issues. 4 wheel drive works perfectly. I also have all the original suspension system which can go with the truck if you prefer to one day return the truck to stock ride height at BIN price. Have an additional set of 4 OEM fj60 chrome wheels in good condition. I can include for an additional $200.00 if you want them.
