Details:
Background:
This is one of a handful of Left hand drive, 5psd land cruisers in the US. Imported from Europe at some point in its life (I am the 3rd owner in the US). It is a medium wheelbase with a removable FRP (Fiberglass Reenforced Panel) top, which is great for cruising around in the Summer. Selling it because I have a kid on the way and its not going to meet my needs for a camping vehicle with the family, our husky, and gear.
Since I have purchased it
I have done a decent amount of work, and have all the receipts and paperwork.
It is in good shape for its age. This is not a show truck (it will likely not win you a lot of looks at a cars and coffee, but you will get asked a lot of questions by Toyota and Land Cruiser people), it’s a vehicle designed to be used and enjoyed.
Happy to go into detail on what has been done and what was/is next on the list for projects. You can come drive it and enjoy it. It’s a great little tractor.
- 202k miles (324k km's)
- Motor: 3bii naturally aspirated diesel, with hoses and additional filter to run bio diesel (currently running 80/20 Summer mix, and 95/5 in the winter). Biodiesel setup can be easily removed and has no effect with regular diesel.
- Manual everything: 5spd, manual windows, manual hubs

- There is some blowby from the engine, which I had looked over by Torfab in Everett (experts in Land Cruisers and diesel Cruisers specifically). Happy to provide Torfab's work checklist along with what I have done on it. Some white smoke on startup, but not every time. More so when its been sitting for a while.
- There is likely some bodywork that needs to be done on the rear passenger side quarter panel (I suspect there is some bondo under the paint that was added at some point) and drivers fender (there is a dent in the fender),
- Driver's and passenger door have rust and the hood clear coat is failing.
