1989 | Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 62

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 – The last true legend of the analog off-road world

There are cars that take you from A to B. And then there are cars that haul you across gravel roads, deserts, and even through rainforests without batting an eye. That’s the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62. It’s not just a car – it’s a rock-solid machine, built in an era when “indestructible” was still an actual engineering requirement in Japan.

This 1989 FJ62 hails from the golden age of Land Cruisers: boxy design, honest mechanics, no electronic gimmicks to let you down in the middle of nowhere. Under the hood sits a 4.0-liter inline-six – big, cast-iron, and so durable it’ll probably still be running when we’re all flying electric by then.

Engineering – Simple, robust, unstoppable

It comes with a 4-speed manual gearbox that feels like it was forged from tank steel. 389,000 km? For a Land Cruiser, that’s little more than a warm-up lap.

Upgrades over the years include:

✅ New tires – because grip matters more than chrome.

✅ Old Man Emu suspension – smoother on tarmac, steadier off-road.

✅ Dual-battery system – perfect for long stops between the Sahara and the Black Forest.

✅ Roof rack with high-lift jack – the ultimate tool when you’re truly on your own.

History – A family member since 1996

This Cruiser isn’t a worn-out workhorse passed through countless hands – it’s been in the same family for nearly 30 years. Always cared for, never abused. It starts, runs smoothly, and is ready for anything – from a bakery run to the Pan-American Highway.

Driving experience – Character over comfort

An FJ62 drives like a ship on wheels. Heavy, solid, confident. It forces you to drive, not just sit back and be chauffeured. No assistants, no electronics – just you, the gearbox, and that unmistakable boxy design that now radiates more retro charm than a Walkman in its original packaging.

Conclusion – More than a classic

The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 isn’t an SUV. It’s a way of life. A symbol of adventure, reliability, and the era when cars were built for life.

Whether as a daily driver, a base for overlanding, or simply as an investment with true cult status – this Cruiser is ready. And honestly: anyone who truly understands what off-road means knows there’s no better companion.

👉 If you want more than just a means of transportation – here it is. The last true Land Cruiser.
