This 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 V8 for sale is currently undergoing a comprehensive frame up restoration and will be ready soon. The foundation is a rust free, lifelong Texas Cruiser, a rare starting point that sets this build apart from the beginning. Every component is being addressed from the powertrain to the interior, with the goal of delivering a restored FJ62 that drives as well as it looks.
Interested buyers are encouraged to call now and reference this build as “Houston” when inquiring. Purchasing during the build gives you a unique opportunity to influence the finishing details, upholstery, accessories, and other final touches, making this truly a custom Land Cruiser rather than someone else’s vision. Reference photos of completed builds are available upon request.
Drivetrain
At the heart of this FJ62 V8 build is a 2012 5.3L Vortec paired with a 6L80E six speed automatic transmission, sourced with only 73,000 miles. This powertrain upgrade is a substantial improvement over the factory inline six. Dual overdrive gears drop highway RPMs for a more relaxed, fuel efficient cruise, and the stronger internals support improved towing capacity and long term reliability. The result is a seamless blend of classic FJ62 character and modern drivability.
Exterior
This restored FJ62 is being refinished in Desert Tan, with a full repaint currently in progress. Exterior upgrades include new wheels and tires, custom front and rear bumpers, and new headlights, grille, and bezel. Full undercarriage treatment has been completed.
Interior
The cabin is receiving a complete overhaul, including new carpet, padding, and sound deadening for a noticeably quieter ride. A touchscreen sound system will be integrated, and upholstery selections remain open for the right buyer to customize and make their own.
