I saw this on Craigslist today. Does it belong to someone on this forum?

1997 Limited Edition Land Cruiser. 181k miles. Took a good hit. Instead of letting the insurance company haul it away, I thought I'd give it a couple days here to see if anyone wants to buy it and use it for parts. Located in Fairfax County, VA. I'd like to get $1900, which is about the...

Many thanks for Patrick for coming out to see my poor old truck. I'll give it a couple of days on the for sale thread to see if anyone wants to buy it for parts, and if there is no interest, I'll let USAA haul it away.

Insurance appraiser felt the frame was not damaged. The front passenger door opens just fine, but the driver door only opens part-way, as the panel got pushed backwards a bit. The vehicle still starts and runs, and was driven several miles home after the accident. No warning lights came on...

The Volvo took the hit right on its bumper. I was not there at the scene, but from what I can see in the photos, the body damage was not severe. However, a friend of mine who also saw the photos mentioned the Volvo may have sustained damage underneath, and possibly to the frame. So, who...

I can't be too mad at my friend. She was actually doing a favor for me the day of the accident. She is beside herself that she smashed it up.

Long story short: Loaned my 1997 Land Cruiser to a friend, who rear-ended a Volvo SUV in the heavy rains we had a few days ago. The front end of the Cruiser is smashed up, but frame, axle, radiator, and engine appear to be fine. Vehicle has 181,000 miles. Insurance company wants to total it...

I've been reading several of the threads. The sunroof just started to leak recently, so have read up on clearing the drains. The swap meet sounds like fun, but I am supposed to be in Lovettsville on the 29th for Oktoberfest. (FYI - they throw a great Oktoberfest if anyone is interested) So...

I inherited my Dad's old 1997 Land Cruiser. Finally have the free time and available cash to spend, so am now looking for someone who can give the mechanics a good once over, to make sure all is in order, and do some minor exterior work/updates. Location-wise, I live in Springfield, work in...

Thanks! I also read in a thread on this site about removing the fuses and using a small file to clean the ends.

Hi all, Thank you very much for the warm welcome! My dad loved his Cruiser, and I'd like to keep it running strong. Plus, I have horses. The Cruiser has turned out to be quite useful for hauling my gear around! Details: it's a 1997, over 179k miles, Collector's Edition. I have a friend...

Hi All, My dad passed away last year, and I inherited his 1997 Land Cruiser. A friend of mine at work told me about this site, and I've been reading up and learning as much as I can. I live in the Fairfax area, and would like to attend a future meeting. I could definitely use any and all...
