Sometimes the best time machine isn’t built in a lab—it’s built in a garage. This 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 is one of those rare classics that has the power to transport you to a simpler time, when the road ahead was an open invitation for adventure. Our meticulous frame-off restoration of this iconic overlander doesn’t just take you back—it brings a world of new possibilities to your doorstep.

Adventure-Ready for the Modern Explorer

With this FJ62, you’re not just driving a classic; you’re embarking on a journey. Load up your camping gear, gather the family, and get ready to explore trails less traveled. This overlander features a fresh set of beefy All Terrain tires that are prepared for anything the wilderness throws at you. A fully restored original engine ensures reliable performance, while a 2-inch lift with Old Man Emu suspension gives you the extra clearance needed to conquer tough backroads and rugged landscapes. Whether it's a family road trip or an off-road trek, this FJ62 is equipped for all your adventures.

Complete Restoration from the Inside Out

The craftsmanship inside this FJ62 is second to none. The custom Woodland Chestnut leather interior spans across the seats, door panels, and dashboard, blending durability with bold elegance. Whether it’s a muddy day on the trails or a long road trip, this interior is made to endure while keeping clean-up easy. A two-tone German square weave carpet adds a classic touch, while the light sand suede headliner gives the cabin an airy feel. Every detail has been thoughtfully executed for comfort, durability, and style.

Modern Tech, Classic Feel

This Land Cruiser keeps you connected while maintaining its timeless charm. With a custom sound system and double-din radio featuring Apple CarPlay, you can enjoy your favorite tunes without disrupting the FJ’s iconic look. We wrapped the dash in Woodland Chestnut leather, giving it a unified appearance. A rear backup camera adds extra peace of mind, while rear lights automatically illuminate in reverse, ensuring safe navigation even in low-light conditions.

Attention to Exterior Detail

The exterior, painted in Toyota’s Dark Forest Green, captures the essence of classic overlanding. Brand new headlight and turning signal assemblies, along with replacement bezels, ensure a perfect fit and a pristine finish. Chrome handles, bumpers, and emblems have all been replaced, restoring this FJ62 to its former glory. Beneath it all, the body’s underside is coated in textured, high-resistance paint for added durability on rugged terrains.

Built for Performance and Reliability

Under the hood, we didn’t leave a single detail unchecked. The engine has been fully rebuilt, including the installation of new pistons, rings, bearings, and gaskets, with all surfaces carefully machined to ensure optimal performance. The HVAC system has been completely rebuilt, bringing cool air back into the cabin. The entire drivetrain, including front and rear axles, differentials, and automatic gearbox, has been overhauled with new bearings, seals, and refurbished components. The transfer case, power steering system, and linkages have been rebuilt, giving this overlander a new lease on life.

Refined Mechanicals

When it comes to performance, every element has been inspected and perfected. We overhauled the braking system, installing new and refurbished components like the brake master cylinder, rotors, calipers, shoes, pads, hoses, and lines, ensuring stopping power when it matters most. The instrument gauges in the cluster were rebuilt to give you accurate readings and a sleek, uniform dash.

Additionally, we installed a custom stainless steel exhaust system with ceramic-painted headers for durability and style. The engine cooling system has been upgraded with a new radiator, hoses, and thermostat, and we’ve refurbished the water pump, oil pump, fuel pump, and distributor. The electrical system was inspected and updated where necessary, including a new battery and connectors, with wiring neatly routed through conduits.

Ready for Anything

This 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 is more than just a restored classic—it’s an invitation to adventure. Painstakingly brought back to life, every nut and bolt was either replaced or refurbished to ensure this vehicle is as reliable as it is timeless. From the fully rebuilt engine to the power steering and brakes, this FJ62 is ready to tackle any terrain, whether you’re heading out for a weekend camping trip or a cross-country journey.
