Recovering an Iconic 1983 FJ60 Toyota Land Cruiser From California PT2: Serious Transformation

When I first dive into these Landcruiser projects I write a list of to-do items that the truck needs. This truck was no different despite its near perfect rust free body and frame. Although she still needed a ton of work. In this Episode lots of new parts are ordered, tons of much needed face lifts are done and this iconic 60 turns a major page toward being a gorgeous Landcruiser example.

After watching a lot of your vids I was honestly surprised to see no rust prevention activities while the roof lining was out since it is a major problem with them

[@aaronpena1570]

This is great. I could watch these videos all day. I always love seeing the finished product. Keep up the good work.

[@mizeadventure9438]

Happy to hear!!! I try to finish jobs in each video instead of dragging it out. Share the vids if you can

[@hugobreese9684]

As always, extremely informative and interesting.Thanks ,

[@mizeadventure9438]

I’m glad it was helpful stay tuned for another update video

[@jamesbarry1983]

This is called doing gods work

[@chrissteinhilber8839]

Love your work on another round eye classic! Sounds great after the desmog and no more worrying about the air pump seizing up. I don’t blame you calling a pro to replace the glass. I put new glass in my ‘86 FJ60 and uncovered some common rust around the A pillars that I would not have seen had I not replaced the glass…so glad I caught it and addressed it. I would have loved to have seen some dynamat go down to help quiet the cabin before the new carpet install, but carpet looks great! BTW that parts cleaner worked some magic 🪄. Keep up the great work and keep on Crusin’!

[@jnorthme]

Such a cool patina on that old paint! LOVE the red!

[@mizeadventure9438]

I know things sweettttttt! I want to keep this one but just don’t have room for another one in the personal collection ha

[@Emir_hakan50]

Exelente restauración 👍🏼exelente carro 👏👏🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴

[@blacksquirrel4008]

Great tips. You did a lot of things in this video I’ve been considering, windshield, carpet and I may do a full desmog this winter. My pump went out a few years ago so I just took the vanes out. My concern is getting the carb set properly without all the plumbing, as it works well now.

[@mizeadventure9438]

I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@davidrose2382]

Should have put vinyl instead of carpet with sound deadening, hose out holes too,love your work mate,classic rigs

[@mizeadventure9438]

we cant get Vinyl easily for these in the states. The carpet kits are hard enough. honestly would rather have OEM carpet in it. but thats even harder to find.

[@abelhellman2741]

Can you make a video of taking off the door on a fj60

[@ian0841]

Another wonderful video!

[@mizeadventure9438]

I appreciate that

[@sceneanuerebelrebel9244]

If you know a good body or detail guy about 3 to 4 hrs of buffing brings the legendary paint back to original factory RED ..As soon as you can though shoot a top quality rust inhibitor inside doors main body fenders and rocker panels .What year is the FJ55 ...

[@daveanthony5031]

She looks good for a 39 year old Toyota

[@mizeadventure9438]

she sure does. just wait until the next episode. the trucks looks new.

[@salsared1943]

isn't it 40 years old?

[@joecruiser]

Good work! Keep it up. Since my '89 daily drive FJ62 with 3F on the farm here badly needs some tlc, may I ship it over there from SA? I wish....

Hey, i am from trinidad, and i am looking for the Fj60 crank shaft pulley if you have any

[@alexrincon8910]

En Venezuela específicamente en el estado Zulia yo la consigo fácilmente.

[@hagan.]

where did you manage to find the new shifter boots? I am looking for those for a 73

[@DanielTejnicky]

Oh nooo what a horrible start after 3 months on 40 years old car - xD JK it started as if you parked it there that same morning xD incredible

[@mizeadventure9438]

That’s what Landcruisers do ha. Seen it happen many times after sitting for a long time.

[@DanielTejnicky]

@@mizeadventure9438 I know I am a proud owner of 100 xD

[@_rc03]

How long (aside from refinishing + shipping part times) did it take for the Desmog process? I just bought an 87 and it's going to be on my list at some point to tackle. Great video!

[@mizeadventure9438]

If you have all the parts maybe a half day.

Hi, Where did you buy the HEADLINER??

[@mizeadventure9438]

Cruiser corp

[@jamesbingham4538]

Removing the "smog crap" will make for a much happier engine. And headers! Let that engine breath!!!

[@mizeadventure9438]

Do that as much as I can to these old rigs. Game changer every time

[@franciskalonji9454]

Bonjour moi j'ai ce véhicule mais j'ai du mal a me procurer les pieces pouvez vous m'aider

[@chadwickestey]

What does removing all the smog components do? Are those parts not nesecarry for inspection/drive quality?

[@mizeadventure9438]

It eliminates vac leaks and makes the motor run smoother and performance. Depends on where you live on if you can take it off

[@randyharris9951]

Hey Jonas, what brand is the headliner you went with?

[@mizeadventure9438]

There isn’t any brands of headliners unfortunately. I believe there is one place making them in house. Cruiser Corps
