Yesterday I purchased my first Land Cruiser and could not be more excited. It's.... so... nice. I have been looking around off and on for the past few months but recently had my nose on Facebook and Craigslist non stop and found this one. He was originally asking $13,600 but I just decided to...
They had a few rust holes at the bottom and what not. They also were coated in a patchy bedlinder on the inside. I actually sold them about 30 minutes after this post.
Just happen to get some 73' FJ40 doors in a deal for a 22RE (front doors plus quarter panels with corner glass and rear hatch... all glass is perfect). If anybody wants them I'll bring them to the next meeting. They have little rust holes in a few places I think. If amybody doesn't want them I...

LOL. I didn't know anyone had ever messed with it, but I'm glad you did. Because that this is now an absolute beast, and it's awesome to see the transition!
The more I read ya'lls custom literature, the more I feel like I need a Cruiser to be that funny. That trip looked amazing. I watched it through FB mostly though.
UPDATE: So Friday at school I dropped off the truck in the automotive garage to have then run a compression test. I was curious and wanted to know how things were doing in there. Compression came out 148-150psi on all 4 cylinders. Toyota for the win! After the text the automotive instructor came...
