SOLD MARCH 16. Thanks for all your interest and input
Where: Wickenburg, Arizona
How much: $18,000
Who: me
When: well, that one's easy...
Why: Too many Cruisers (3 - BJ40, BJ70, FJ62) and too many pickups (2 - F350 longbed, F250 flatbed) and too many vans (E350)!
What: OK, read below
A 1985 BJ70, out of Canada, in Toyota's "Cool Vanilla" color. An extremely capable Land Cruiser - slightly larger interior than a 40 and absolutely far more comfortable for rear passengers. As this is Canadian spec'd it did NOT include a/c. The plus side to that is that it hasn't any of the usually dodgy issues that LatAm-originated 70s often are burdened with. Engine, drive train, interior, exterior and add-ons all are in either very good or as-new shape but this is NOT either a trailer queen or beauty pageant vehicle - it is ready to roll off-road, get you out there AND back with no issue. Details follow:
3B with the AXT turbo; injector compression right in line at 109-118 kg/cm2
261K miles
Turbo boost & pyrometer gauges
ARB lockers front & rear
Disc brakes front & rear
Marlin High-steer kit
Safari snorkel
33K miles on a rebuilt H55 tranny & transfer case
4.88 gears
"Real" Bobby Long "Longfield" birfields (bought from him before he died & sold the firm and its name*)
New knuckle seals and wipers
Pioneer AVIC navigation system
Oversized Warn high-speed winch (HS9500)
Custom bumper to accommodate the winch
Bilstein 33-185606s - best shocks you can get
5 33X13.5X15 Cooper Discoverer STTs with 75-80% tread
Powdercoated ******** Cepek rims
EXTREMELY little rust; there is one dent on right-rear roof (tree limb...)
New doors, hood, fender and quarter panels
New carpeting, front & rear seats and door panels
NO cracking or fading of vinyl dashboard, steering wheel or grab bars
Metal portion of dashboard in as good shape as the vinyl portion
Roll cage out of an FJ40
Two new batteries
Fuel tank, sending unit, lines and water separator all cleaned to as-new condition
New USA-built electric fuel pump
Dynamat soundproofing throughout
Have many more photos but am having significant difficulties in attaching them - very happy to email all.
