�€" Hagerty Toyota's factory website provides a bit of model
history: For 1980, Toyota replaced the Land Cruiser 55 Series with
the all-new 60 Series (FJ60), which offered greater comfort while
still retaining the rugged capability. The one millionth Land
Cruiser was built that year. The Land Cruiser 60 Series evolved
slowly through the 1980s, a decade that would see significant
growth in the SUV market. The 1988 Land Cruiser was updated with a
new dash and upgraded interior, and a new 155-horsepower 3F
4.0-liter engine replaced the old 4.2 liter. Rectangular headlamps
immediately identify the 1988 model. Offered here is a very
well-maintained and recently repainted FJ62 Toyota Land Cruiser in
its factory-original colors, beige metallic over tan. The truck's
226,131 recorded miles (roughly 6,800 miles per-year on average
from new) is actually well below what's considered average mileage
for any vehicle, and more importantly, not even close to maximum
mileage for these legendary Land Cruisers. Indeed, the model's
longevity, in part, accounts for its continued high demand. The
FJ's exterior beige-metallic paint was clearly applied by
professionals. The finish is smooth, even, and consistently glossy
across every body panel, including lower-body metal. Door jambs and
other non-exterior surfaces match beautifully, so much so that most
casual observers wouldn't believe the truck had been re-painted.
The condition of other body trim-the front grille, chrome bumpers
fore and aft, chrome door handles and side mirrors, rubber
bumper-corner covers-is as impressive as the paint. All factory
emblems-including the 4-Wheel Drive rear-deck-lid badge and
rear-fender Toyota LandCruiser badges-are correctly mounted. Tinted
cabin glass and all lighting lenses are free of damage. Chrome
wheels in good condition are mounted with a matched set of
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A® tires. The truck's interior condition
is as impressive as the exterior. The tweed-weave, tan-fabric
upholstery on both rows of seats is complemented by dark-brown
vinyl trim; its condition is impressive with no tears, rips, or
even much sign of use. Door trim is a handsome combination of
vertically striped fabric, dark-brown vinyl, and carpeting. Cabin
floors are also carpeted in dark brown in good condition; only the
cargo area carpeting shows notable wear from use. The dark-brown
dashboard shows cracking from sun exposure. Analog instrumentation
is stock; lenses are clear. An upgraded Pioneer® audio head unit is
mounted in the factory-radio location. Selector levers for the
4-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel-drive transfer case
are floor-mounted. Under the hood, the legendarily long-lived
Toyota inline 6-cylinder commands a properly equipped and extremely
clean engine bay. There are few signs of its age or mileage. The
extensive hoses and wiring are correctly in place and properly
routed. All components-including factory air conditioning-are
present; no modifications are noted. Viewed from below, the chassis
is complete with no sign of damage as might be the case from
too-aggressive off-road driving styles. The FJ's factory data and
identification tags remain properly riveted in place. While the
