Recovering an Iconic 1983 FJ60 Toyota Land Cruiser From California PT1: Purchase & Overview

These Truck always find their way into my life when I least exact them to. This truck I saw 2 years ago when I sold a windshield to the owner of it. back then I was jealous about how rust free and clean it was. When It came back into the forsale market I knew I had to have it. I jumped at the opportunity to own a California clean fj60 on the east coast. This is what happen. Enjoy the journey to inquire another iconic wagon.

Great find! Yeah our Ca trucks are well preserved. You will be amazed how easy it is to remove parts. Lol 😆

[@mizeadventure9438]

I already know ha! Like butter!

[@ian0841]

Another amazing video...what a cherry find!

[@mizeadventure9438]

I know she’s going to be a great rig! Can’t wait to get started on it

[@kevinbanker7814]

Like finding gold right there!! Hope it’s not too much engine work, cause that is a wonderful specimen of 60 lore.

[@mizeadventure9438]

No I don’t think so. The truck sat for a while so could be something to do with that. I’m not to worried about it. Going to be a great rig

[@blacksquirrel4008]

Hey! I recognize that screwdriver!

[@mizeadventure9438]

Best screw driver period.

[@chrissteinhilber8839]

Very cool…I suspect she fetched a good price in the current condition. I only wish my Father bought me a classic cruiser to wrench on, but it would not have be in this pristine condition in Mass. Who ever winds up with this will be lucky and hope they keep in garaged and away from the salty roads. We’re it my decision I’d just put a couple coats of clear coat over that sweet patina once you make your repairs. Nice find and no heart transplant required! Keep on Crusin’!!

Just met ya at advanced auto. Look forward to watching more of this channel!

[@mizeadventure9438]

Heck yeah! Love it. There’s lots to watch enjoy!

Your search and finds for Land Cruisers inspire me to get my next 2 LC to start my business. But as of now I moved mine to HI and can't even get a front bumper for a decent price. Great find. Definitely don't think those are original rear view mirrors? Can't wait to see the finished product.

[@WestsideCruisers]

Yes they are original!

[@mizeadventure9438]

Love that! Get something going! They are original to this year of truck

[@theofflander]

@@mizeadventure9438 the little things they change over the years (past) makes a huge difference.

[@mizeadventure9438]

O man are you right! I’ve been battling a few things on another truck that are slightly different

[@chrissteinhilber8839]

I had my 60 on Oahu for several years and parts and shipping were a PITA to say the least. I have to ship a new (rare) gas tank from the mainland which was a wee pit pricey, but little options. The salt air did it few favors and had to do some major rust repairs around the rain gutter and windshield before I compromised the A pillars. All that said it was fun to cruise Oahu with my boards and camping gear! Keep on Crusin’!

[@bradjohnson462]

I almost bought this one. Great Cruiser. Congrats on the score. 👍

[@mizeadventure9438]

She’s a good rig

[@anderslind8422]

Could you tell me how hard, on a scale of 1 to 10, is taking the engine out to replace a seal. My cylinder head gasket is bad, leaking oil and coolant.

[@mizeadventure9438]

Ehh depends on your experience level. I would say it’s a 7. But also if your going to go to the trouble to do all that I would just rebuild the motor at that point.

[@anderslind8422]

@@mizeadventure9438 thanks, several gaskets need replacement, some you can do without taking the Motor out but the main leaks are from the cylinder head gasket.

[@mizeadventure9438]

I’m aware I’ve built a few motors just saying that if it’s out why not just comb through the rest of the motor

[@anderslind8422]

@@mizeadventure9438 yeah makes sense
