1986 Toyota Landcruiser FJ60 is a Classic Truck Built for Anything

[@michaelduke4500]

Before the days of the luxury SUV. Nothing like a manual trans in these beast.

[@HowToCarGuy]

Agreed!👍

[@deepbludude4697]

Sweet rig, When my son was born in 1999 I had a 84 FJ60,bought it out of an Orange grove near Orlando, for $1400 desmogged the carb (ran and started so much easier after desmog), put an Old Man Emu lift and ran 9.50 33 15 swampers. My kid would never sleep so id throw him in the Landcruiser and drive down A1a the hum of the tires always put him to sleep. That rig made 2.5 trips to Alaska from Cocoa Beach finally rusted away so we cut the roof off took all the doors off it welded in a roll cage and I ran it like that till the wind screen fell out. At that time it had 330xxx miles All I ever did to it was replace brakes, OEM springs and shocks and an alternator and ignitor. Just last year I found an 88FJ62 that hadnt run since 1998 its running now its an Auto with power windows (Yuck) my GF loves it but its dog slow compared to the FJ60 she drives it often great rigs super durable.

I have a 1977 FJ40 Land Cruiser and the sound of the engine and transmission working through the gears is distinct and a pure joy to the ears. Great video!

[@pedrofernandez8729]

This is what you're best at, not reviewing these computers on wheels we get nowadays.

[@HowToCarGuy]

Wow! Thank you my man! I am always grateful for your kind words!!

[@jonathanhandsmusic]

Really nice. Showroom style. Looks well taken care of. My ‘87 is well used, but still runs like a Swiss watch. Only 250k miles!

[@pedrofernandez8729]

A classy vehicle for a classy guy. perfect combination.

[@MissionOffRoad]

You make me want to go outside and cruise in my '84 FJ60. Thanks for the video!

[@---rg1gb]

Very cool. Glad you were able to show this to all of us

my father has just bought a darker brown from 82 and it is an amazing car in an amazing condition, it hasn't been restored but it looks straight from the factory while having 125kmiles on it

[@timwilliams2035]

83bj60 owner here. Mines worn and rusty all over but works a charm 430 000 kms Later living mostly in Alberta and now coastal. I beat it and beat it good. go back in time and buy one new, worth every penny. i bought it for 700$ 20 yrs ago from the OG owner. it was not in good shape then or now just works.

[@LarryLuther-g3p]

Beautiful FJ-60 the wheels and hubcaps are factory FJ-40. Springs are aftermarket looks like a 4 inch lift.

[@BunderaKZT]

Thank you for showing us the Land Cruiser. It brings back memory of my 70 series and 80 series. I now drive GX460. And I always enjoy your video.

[@HowToCarGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrBe787]

I owned a 1981 FJ 60 when i was 17. Best vehicle I ever had. I had so much fun. Unfortunately i totaled it and bent the frame.

[@dvdray]

Wow! This Land Cruiser looks amazing. Thanks for showing this and the walk around.

[@mauriziobetta272]

Very nice video, congrats. I’m thinking to get one of these marvelous vehicles, and your enthusiasm just increased mine. Old fashion, ever cool.

[@brianlee6849]

Awesome 😎 I love the classic FJ60s. Thank you 👍

[@HowToCarGuy]

No problem 👍

[@akfishguide]

real cool video!! Although as somebody who daily drives an fj60, your comment on 18mpg highway made me howl. the most I have EVER gotten in mpg ANYWHERE was 13. That was driving under 2k rpm's at 55 mph. Gas HOG. love it to death though, driving it from STL to Alaska this summer.

[@masonbarnyard]

I agree, 18mpg on highway is unrealistic, however, I was able to get close to 18mpg highway once it was desmogged with a better exhaust. Removing the smog really makes them come alive.

[@IAm1InTheIAm]

Hi from Alaska, you probably drove through my little town on your way in, I saw a few this summer. My daily driver's an '88 FJ62, just broken in at 222K and running strong. No doubt you had a good time. Cheers to your epic trip! 👍

[@ArmenEhtibaryan-rz4rr]

oh, how I love this car... my car w208 has manual transmission and enjoy it. Thanks for manual values and for nice review

[@mickwolf1077]

they are very nice rigs and getting better as time goes on (if they're looked after). I don't think they came with headlight washers or those fender vents but I'm probably wrong, mine didn't. edit: that lever to fold the back seat down is supposed to operate both latches simultaneously with a connecting rod inside the seat but the ends bugger up over time.

[@patric5905]

[@JosephMurphy-j2j]

love this color

[@clints3727]

Nice car I love it. 🙏Thanks for video🙏

[@heinvogul2817]

No offence, but as soon as I saw your face on the first screen, I thought you were Rocco Siffredi, the famous Italian guy. Anyway, this series from Toyota is really good, and I'm looking forward to seeing it. Thumbs up.

[@HowToCarGuy]

🤣. I get that all the time! No offense taken my friend! Glad you liked the vid!

[@jimmyamico4713]

Brock, I have a 2021 Lexus LX 570 which is as you know a Lexus Toyota Land Cruiser this FJ 60 you have is absolutely phenomenal. Do you know what something like that would go for in the market?

[@HowToCarGuy]

A FJ60 in this condition should be between $28,000-30,000.

[@ryanfauza1241]

I like it

[@edwinthomas618]

Beautiful & clean rig and done tastefully. 1986 should have a 5 speed H55 transmission. I have an 84 and its a 4 speed which was last year for 4 speed manuals. Make sure that galley oil plug was done

[@cnuila]

I believe the factory 5-speed was never offered in the US on the FJ60 (other global markets had many other variations of engine/transmission). I have a 1985 FJ60 and it is a factory 4-speed manual. Even when the updated FJ62 arrived in 1988 it was only offered here with the 3FE fuel injected engine and automatic transmission.

[@edwinthomas618]

@@cnuila 5 speed were offered in US between 85 to 87

[@cnuila]

@@edwinthomas618 I don’t mean to be a keyboard warrior, and if you can find me any example of an FJ60 delivered in the United States with a 5-speed from the factory I’ll happily concede, but it’s pretty well documented that they only came with 4-speeds all the way to 1987. The H55 5-speed swap is very common though, as it can usually just bolt right up to the engine and transfer case, especially in the 85-87s.

[@edwinthomas618]

@@cnuila Well I be damn...i learned something new every day. I could have sworn I read on Ih8mud that 85-87 US models came with 5 speeds. I stand corrected. thanks

[@cnuila]

@@edwinthomas618 Ha! Well I feel like even more of a jerk for pressing the issue but I know guys like you and me who are passionate about these awesome trucks love to nerd out on the history and details 😁. I hope you enjoy your 60 as much as I love mine. Cheers!

[@jamespacheco7721]

You described perfectly. I have an fj60. It's red, drives like an alligator!! Lol 😆 👍

[@IAm1InTheIAm]

Lol, never driven an alligator before, but I added an OME steering stabilizer to my FJ62 and it actually drive pretty nice.👍

[@pedrofernandez8729]

Only thing I would have done differently is replace carb with fuel injection system.

[@HowToCarGuy]

Good choice!!

[@rwtw6649]

This! I'd daily the hell out of this no matter the fuel economy, the pleasure you'd get out of driving it would be more than worth it!

[@Vrafthudnir]

dont know why i landed in here, but tbh u look like the normal version of Steve O

How is the Cable company gig go?

[@HowToCarGuy]

Hi Art! Thanks for asking. It’s going very well. I have time with my family now and I am still able to make content for KZbin 😁. I appreciate you stopping by my friend!

[@DavidNotSolomon]

I had one, an 1986 model it was an automatic - very slow, handled like a boat, the drum brakes also were not the best - I think a manual might have been better. Sucked juice. Good on the open road, terrible around town or up hills. I now have a 1986 Isuzu trooper (in Australia called a Jackaroo) - it handles much better, a lighter car, probably not as tough off-road, but tough enough for most off-roading, I think the Isuzu looks better - seems to get 100 klms for 12 litres.

[@arfiyuriskiawan]

please do a review on the lx600, btw love you videos man

[@HowToCarGuy]

I’d love to if I could get my hands on one. The Lexus dealerships in my area have no inventory.

[@jonathanhandsmusic]

PS. You don’t need to step on the brake or clutch to start.

[@tonymunn]

It is not completelely simple. Have you ween the emmisions crap strapped to that poor engine. Converting one to fuel injection and already put in a 5-speed over drive. No more choke, cold start issues and comfortable freeway cruising. Perfect!!! I wish it were mines.

[@lawrencekniser8555]

Impex auto?out of north Carolina?

[@HowToCarGuy]

Yes Impex Auto in Greensboro, North Carolina.
