Side by side comparison of a FJ62 and a FJ80.
The 62 is a 1989 and the 80 is a 1995
155hp vs 212hp 24 valve.
2wd/4wd vs FullTime 4wd
Hub lockers vs front and rear Electric locking differentials
and so much more to compare!
Which one is for you? Depends your intentions of driving style and adventures! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
The Fj62 is prettier and plenty capable offroad.
Prettier?? Ur bugging
I have an early 1991 model fj80 with the optional no 3rd row, no sunroof and no sliding 3rd row window. (the 3rd row was not just taken out, was never in the vehicle from factory) My fj80 has the same engine and trans as a fj62. But actually I really like the 3fe. Its easy to work on and rarely lets me down. the 3fe reminds me of the 22re engine and it does not have head gasket issues.
My two cents- I own one of each: a '96 fj80 with the 4.5 1fzfe, and I worship that beautiful engine and the beast of a suspension. The '89 fj62 is a classic LC for sure and capable, just not as comfortable and rock-solid as the fj80 tank.
Yes. Agreed. As the 91-92 FJ80s had the same 3FE engine and it lacks power. Your FZJ80 also has the A343F transmission which changed mid 1995.
In my book, the 1995-97 are the best of the 80s.
Last week I did a comparison of a 94 to a 95 FZJ80 if you wanr to see side by side differences:

@@TheGreenMachineLandcruiser very cool, I knew I had something special, lucky me. Ill check out your link. Appreciate your insight, thanks!
The fj62 loo.ks so much better in my opinion. It's just dated and the engine isn't enough for modern day DD.
Love the comparison! This video helped me convince my wife we needed and 80 to add to our LC fleet 100 & 200. Picked up a PNW 95 moon glow 3x locked cloth interior with 190k in Portland over the weekend 🤘🏽😃 Keep the cruiser vids coming!
Ahh, you got the best color! That color transcends time. In fact even nicer today then back then.
super nice fj62 excellent review greets from Austria
Got my sub. Just picked my 80 and I love it. I'll get a 62 probably next. Nice stable!
I love the hell out of my fj62 and so capable offroad!
Beautiful trucks there!
Over terrain in style is a perfect name for a 90s land cruiser
That FJ62 has a classic (and rare) Con Ferr rack. I love my FJ60
Yes, the confer rack gives it a great look.
I actually found that rack for $250, refinished it back to new... great deal! Huge rack and just perfect for the FJ62
I'm jealous of your collection! In January I bought a 95 Emerald Green triple locked 80 for 12k, with 188k miles, head gasket was already done so I figured 9k plus the HG and triple lockers I got my money's worth. Spent 17 years in NC before coming to Illinois. Chassis is mostly clean, there is surface rust. Body is rust free and paint is in great condition. I've baselined it and now getting her leather seats recovered as well. Hopefully next year I can get the frame and underside repainted and ready for 25 more years of service! Weekend driver and stored for the winter of course.
Nice! That was my OG Landcruiser, a 95 Emerald green. Its the vehicle I missed the most. Bought it new in New Hampshire, no tax, for 42k. Put 60000 miles on it and sold for 35k a few years later and got a 98 100 series.
So 2 years ago, went on the hunt for a FJZ80 again...
Look into Eastwood chassis paint. Wire brush and if its just surface, you could probably do it yourself with their inhibitor and then satin OEM finish.
You got a deal for a 3x and 188k miles!

I will add to the next FJ80 series video. Open to anyone who wants to send a pic of their FJ80.
what suspension are you running on the FJ62?
First I would say NIGHT SHADOW PEARL (dark blue) with gray interior.
Second, is this the FJ80 that was for sale on IH8MUD, several months back?
Did you ever sell it? The video was really good.
Dark Shadow pearl is a really nice color on the Cruiser. Yes put it for sale, but my daughter was upset as she wants to drive it as her first car/truck.
Love the fj62, it’s a dream truck.
And Ted bundy drove a vw beetle haha
Where are you located Etienne?
So Homelander owns fj’s.
Nice video and info though also nice fj’s you’ve made my decision harder
I found a 1988 62 for $5000 clean no frame rust little bit of bodywork needs to be done do you think it’s worth it runs and drives 200,000 miles
do you sell fj 62 .?
I would rather have the 60 series with the 3b and a 4spd
Fj62
I'm a big dude is the interior fitment of the 80 about the same as a tacoma? does the 62 have more headroom?
Oddly enough, 62 does feel.like there is more room, seat goes further back.
I love how the FJ62 sits. Wheel fitment is so important and looks like you nailed the stance just right. Can you share the specs of your wheels? Thank you in advance.
The tires are 35/12.5/15LT
On 15 x 8 Mickey Thompson wheels. I did put 1.25 spacers in the back to clear the drum, and front disk didn't need it.
The Green Machine thanks for the info. How about backspacing measurement?
“Dated green color” do you want to fight bro? Well.. not that the sun has left much of my paint job
Ughh... I love the features of the 80 series but it's just not a nice a looking car. That 62 though. Gorgeous! Awesome collection!
EDIT: I should rephrase. Your 80 is gorgeous but stock there is no comparison.
I agree. The stock 80 with the inset wheels, when its got those big fender flares... just was missing. But lifted, bigger wheels and spacers changes it. It's amazing what changing the wheels and stance of a car can do. Trucks higher, sports cars lower, but within a tasteful distance.
@@TheGreenMachineLandcruiser Nailed it. I resurrected a 62 that was destined for the parts bin by Georg over at Valley Hybrids. Nice and clean truck but he didn't have the time. I drive it every day and one day it'll be perfect...for me :) I would love an 80 as well. Triple locked of course ;)
60!
Love the front end of the FJ62 but the FJ80 is the king of all Land Cruisers IMO. How much did you pay for Otis if you don’t mind sharing? I’m hunting for my own 80 at the moment.
I have had this 80 a while. I added some equipment to it, front bar, lights... and did the head gasket maintenance. But a 3x locked clean FJ80 (1995-1997) can go mid 30s for under 175k miles. That to me is a 9/10.
But you can find a 6 or 7/10 which would have 200k+, not perfect paint, front seats worn (you can always re- upholster) and non locked for 10-15 range. You can add ARB lockers if its not factory locked.
Always expect a 3k premium on factory lockers.
@@TheGreenMachineLandcruiser Thanks! Beautiful rigs you have. Love my 4Runner TRD PRO but I must have an FJ80 in my life!
What did the 62 and 80 cost you? When?
The FJ62 just sold for 27k
The 80 I got 3 years ago, and I added ALOT to it, did the head gasket maintenance, but paid 15k, but likely worth 30s now.
It is triple locked.
The 60, and it ain’t “dated”.
My vote is a 62 with an 80 chassis
And a 200 series 5.7 V8
Fj62 looks more presentable
Presentable to your fiancee's family? But which is more presentable to a 15% grade rock and mud hill?
FJ80 with a Cummins 2.8 swap.
Both😂
With Biden as president you can maybe figure out how to make your 80 & 60 series run on electric power.
No, I am.just going to run them on fake gas.
Don't be fooled, the Dems claim renewable, but they are truly just a bunch of Frackers.
How dare you xd
Lol
