I WILL ADD MORE PICTURES AND VIDEOS...ENJOY If you have been looking for a beautiful, serviced, wonderful driving, FUNCTIONING land cruiser, wait no longer! This beauty has to make NO APOLOGIES, she is just stunning all around! Background:Let me begin with a little background. This truck was ordered in a BEAUTIFUL color combination of Dark Emerald Pearl on gray Leather, which looks timeless on this FJ80. Covered in leather, creature comforts and wit its prestigious stance, it made a major statement. Even in 2018 this FJ80 looks stunning! The more powerful 4.5l i6 engine was now standard. Power windows, power locks, power seats, climate control, sunroof, leather interior and much more were all standard fare! This beauty lives in sunny, dry, temperate California since brand new!!!! It was serviced by Land cruiser dealers here in CA and even while being driven very little, started often and serviced with dedication and care. Let's continue to the service! The Condition and Service: Let's start on the engine and drivetrain:This engine has great miles for the year 164,000 miles appear on the odometer though the truck shows as one with half of that. It was driven and enjoyed as it should be. There has been A TON of scheduled and preventive maintenance performed to this truck to keep in near brand new condition. The engine is VERY healthy and powerful! With even a crack of the throttle it, more than many other FJs, feels torquey and powerful, and effortlessly pulls away! Don't feel you need to commit to buy an insanely low mile FJ in order to get a solid, worry-free truck. With proper care and a knowledgeable touch, a well serviced truck with a normal average sampling of miles will be exponentially more reliable than "well it has low miles, so I haven't done much to it" truck. The key to a happy FJ80 is maintenance! And a happy Cruiser will go and go and go happily for hundreds of thousands of miles. -LOWER ENGINE and BLOCKNo knocks, no bangs, no burning oil, A SOLID lower engine. Oil pan was dropped, cleaned, oil pickup cleaned, new oil pan gasket, new oil and filter! Mobil 1 -UPPER ENGINEBRAND NEW valve cover gaskets, valley pan gaskets, front timing cover gasket and seals and upper intake gaskets, all resealed among a few other minor seals. These were done in order to keep with the same high regard and care. The upper and lower intakes, valve covers and front cover were thoroughly cleaned. BRAND NEW lifters! -BRAND NEW-RADIATORRadiator flows to keep this beauty nice and cool! The temp needle NEVER moves past 12 o'clock even with the AC on and in traffic. The proper OAT coolant is used after flush and brand new! -WATER PUMPAs part of the overall service a brand new water pump was installed as well @ 155k! Not once did this truck show a need for it, but it was done as part of the dedicated service to keep it in tip top shape and ready for the owner to go LOADS of care free miles. -THERMOSTATBRAND NEW thermostat! A piece of cheap insurance to continue to protect and maintain the Fj' cooling systemA/C COMPRESSOR 15K AGO -BELTNewer serpentine belt! -AIR FILTERNewer air filter! -EMERGENCY BRAKERecently adjusted and tight, only a couple notches on the handle holds the truck tight -TRANSMISSIONThe trans was just given all new fluid and shifts great! -DIFFERENTIALSNew gear oil in the diffs!

No ABS lights! -STEERINGThe steering is tight. Let's continue to the exterior: -PAINTThe paint is very nice! It is a 8+/9- out of 10 easily. Shiny, beautiful dark green paint was recently polished, finished and waxed by a highly acclaimed detailer here in LA. .It looks FANTASTIC CLEAN and CLEAR CarFax. There are few very minor dings, very minor chips and flaws which are very hard to see in pics. There are a few scratches on the outside of the mirrors, which are not very noticeable until close and looking at them. Remember this is a near 20 year old truck, there may be some minor scratches, wear etc, but they are well below any expectation level for FJ80 or cars of this year. -TIRESTires have 90%+ life remaining and ready to go countless thousands of miles! -TRAILER HITCHThe truck has a factory trailer hitch!
