Hey fam-
My baby is going back on the block. Shameless self-promotion to get this to a good owner who can drive it like it deserves.
Supercharged 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser UZJ100 - https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2003-toyota-land-cruiser-18-2/
Putting a feeler out there to guage interest. I bought this UZJ100 about 3 years ago, and it was 100% stock except for the TRD Supercharger. Since then:
