1988 FJ62 aka “Houston” w/ V8 Coming Soon! Can Build To Suit Too

Available

๐Ÿ”ฅ AVAILABLE SOON: 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 โ€“ 5.3L Vortec V8 | Rust-Free Texas Truck | Solid Platform for Completion

๐Ÿ“ธ Reference photos provided to show the vision for this build โ€” but you can call now to make it your own.

Weโ€™re stripping this FJ62 down and bringing it back better than ever. At its core: a modern 5.3L Vortec V8 paired with a 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission. This setup delivers smooth, efficient power with double overdrive gears โ€” giving you lower RPMs at highway speeds, better towing capability, and improved fuel efficiency compared to the older 4L60E 4-speed. Itโ€™s the perfect blend of classic Land Cruiser toughness and modern drivability.

Add in fresh Desert Tan body and paint, new wheels/tires, custom bumpers, and a fully refreshed interior with carpet, padding, sound deadening, and a touchscreen sound system โ€” and this Cruiser is ready to turn heads.

Because weโ€™re in the build phase right now, this is the perfect time for a buyer to jump in and personalize the final details โ€” from upholstery choices to accessories.

โœ… Highlights:

  • Rust-free, life-long Texas truck

  • Full undercarriage treatment

  • 5.3L Vortec V8 swap with 6L80E 6-speed automatic

    • Double overdrive for relaxed cruising

    • Stronger internals for towing & longevity

    • Improved acceleration and highway drivability

  • Desert Tan repaint (in progress)

  • New rims/tires

  • Custom front & rear bumpers

  • New headlights, grille, and bezel

  • Interior overhaul: sound system, carpet, padding, sound deadening, upholstery

This one is clean, rust-free, and being built to impress. With the modern powertrain, rust-free Texas chassis, and customizable finishing touches, itโ€™s a dream platform for a collector, daily driver, or overland build.
