1989 Toyota Land Cruiser GX FJ62

1989 FJ62 White - link to google photo album upon request.
Current mileage 290,9XX
Original owner had the car until just under 267K miles. Widow sold to a guy in WA. He drove it from Sparks, NV to Tacoma, WA. I purchased 12/2015 and drove it from Tacoma, WA to Los Angeles, CA.
I have a stack of maintenance receipts from 12/1998 to 2/2015 from the original owner. Like clockwork, this couple had the oil changed and tires rotated every 3,000 miles. If you would like to see a summary of maintenance with shop name, date, and mileage, just let me know. Since I have owned it, I have continued with proper maintenance.
Paint is not original. There was a respray done with the original owner. A few minor bubbles. Message me for a link to the google photo album with more pictures.
Immediately after purchasing, compression numbers were checked. 170, 180, 175, 175, 170,180. The oil galley plug fix was completed. All fluids were replaced. Valve adjustment.
Vehicle runs very smoothly, and I don’t hesitate to drive it long distances. Driven from LA to Cabo and back, multiple trips to Baja, Utah, Arizona, and Northern California. No problems.
Everything works. AC, Heat, Stereo, 4x4, defrost, wipers, radio antenna, etc.
