SOLD, thanks BVCOTaco!
1996 Toyota Land Cruiser
228xxx Miles
Front and rear axle E-lockers
Center differential lock with pin-7 mod
3rd row seats (fully removed but all hardware included)
Port of entry installed Rostra alarm/keyless entry
Optional dash mounted cup holder
The good: No major problems to speak of. I have been driving this truck nearly every day since receipt of ownership in 2010 and it has been nothing but reliable and an outstanding vehicle. The interior is fairly clean given the age and has been non-smoker vehicle.
The bad: it's dented, dinged, scratched, and used like it should be. Mechanically it has some minor issues that will need to be addressed like the front crank seal/oil pump o-ring leak, rear main or possibly pan leak, and LSPV leak (slight leak when fully flexed). It throws a P0420 code every once in a while due to the high flow/low profile cats and will not pass CO emissions standards with the current cats according to the emissions facility as they are not efficient enough. Some blue smoke is noted on startup and is a common occurrence with these trucks. Interior wear items are typical for this truck such as slow windows, driver side seat that doesn't move ( Gamiviti gears included), cracked leather, some small tears here and there, glove box door that flops open, etc etc.
History: Purchased from a fellow Land Cruiser enthusiast bone stock and was a Colorado truck previously.
I am offering this truck for sale to move up to a GX470 or 100 series. My family has evolved and we simply don't go wheeling like we used to, I have also acquired a 40 series that will be the play truck from here on out. I am sure I am forgetting some things but the bulk of it is listed. As the weather improves I will be working on some of the items that need addressed and will update the thread as it happens.
