A 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 is going under the hammer with a history that stretches from the Pacific Northwest to Michigan. The truck has covered 216,000 miles and is finished in white over gray cloth, offering a classic off-roader with a documented ownership trail and a range of recent mechanical work.
The FJ60 spent more than 20 years in the Pacific Northwest before relocating to Michigan in 2020. The current seller acquired it in 2026. Its Carfax report is clean and free of accidents or other reported damage from the initial entry in October 1998, and it comes with a clean Missouri title in the seller's name. The truck is believed to have been refinished in White (033) under previous ownership.
Power comes from a 4.2-liter 2F inline-six, factory rated at 135 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case, with power sent to the rear wheels or all four. The rear differential was replaced under previous ownership, and the transmission, transfer case and differential fluids were changed in 2026. Service under the current owner included oil and coolant changes, along with replacement of the carburetor, starter, alternator, ignition wires, spark plugs and accessory drive belt. Factory emissions control components have been removed.
Chassis and running gear include a Dobinsons steering damper, manually locking front hubs and Bilstein dampers. The front hubs were rebuilt under the current owner. Braking is by front discs and rear drums, both recently serviced. The truck rides on black-finished 15-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 31×10.50-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A K02 tires.
Exterior equipment includes LED headlights, a black grille, dual side mirrors, a split tailgate with a rear window wiper, chrome bumpers and a receiver hitch. The seller notes areas of bubbled paint on the roof, and dings on the bumpers are shown in the gallery. Inside, the front bucket seats and folding rear bench are upholstered in patterned gray cloth. Comfort features include air conditioning, an aftermarket dash cover, a center console, crank windows and a Pioneer stereo with Bluetooth connectivity.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames an 85-mph speedometer, a 4,500-rpm tachometer and gauges for coolant temperature, voltage, oil pressure and fuel level. Of the 216,000 miles shown on the six-digit odometer, less than 2,000 were added under the current ownership.
