After riding around in my 1995 LC for over half his life all over Colorado and once to Moab, my (15) son decided he wanted a Landcruiser for his first vehicle. Luckily, I found one at the local insurance auto auction, pulled some strings and got it. It was hit hard in the rear, crunched the tailgate, shoved the rear bumper into the spare tire and bent the PS frame horn down about a 1/2". So, after cutting all the smashed plastic and metal off, we sent it to a buddy for a date with his frame machine. Next, we changed the oil and flushed the coolant, both needed attention very badly!
It has 213k miles, no lockers and needs some serious maintenance.
Earlier this year I purchased a very rolled black landcruiser from the auction, it had many parts on it which I sold but I also have many left over that will be used on this one. Plans are to put the lift from the rolled LC on it, swap out the worn PS seat, do a front axle service which it needs very badly.
Since the time that I bought it (4/16) we just drove it around maybe a couple of miles and it would smoke like crazy. It also dripped oil from the front main seal. We also just moved to OKC area. Here is the weird thing, we jumped in it at the frame shop in Hutchinson, Ks and drove it to the OKC area. The smoke has stopped and the front main seal seems to have sealed up! We made it just fine almost 200 miles. That's why I love these things!
Here is what we have so far:
