Well my first Cruiser is base lined now, so I suppose I should start a build thread as the fun mods begin.
After trading in my 15' Tundra Platinum my garage was without a Toyota for 2 years. Then I went down the Land Cruiser YouTube rabbit hole, which let me to google and finding Mud. After a five month long search I found a clean, low milage, triple locked black FZJ80. Only issue was it was located in Tucson AZ, and I was in Sacramento CA. So I sent the deposit and hopped on a plane. Two days later I was back home with my new rig.
History:
The rig was originally purchased in Tennessee where it stayed for two years until the owner was transferred to AZ for work. At this time he was given a company car, so the Cruiser saw less use than most. The original owner would have made Cruiser Dan proud, as it was exclusive dealer service with no expense spared during its first 20 years. With 134K, it was sold to the second owner in 2016.
The second owner purchased it for his wife for carpool duty, after seeing countless dropped goldfish and a new head gasket. I was able to purchase it in a divorce sale last October with 158k miles.
