Eastlake does seem to take a strong stand on used Land Cruiser inventory in the Seattle market - so I visited them some years back when shopping. Similar to others I got a weird "vibe" after speaking with sales staff and test driving the trucks. The person I worked with did not have an...

Sale Pending William839 - got your DM on 6 & 19Apr and have responded. Good success with your search

Bump - truck remains available for sale. For fun, here are some images of an Icelandic Prado (rental) as an inspiration... Some distinctions: Diesel engine, raised roof rails, global tail lights, rear euro garnish and mid-level spec...

The truck is available for sale.

Happy with my LP6 on a GX460/LC Prado backcountry travel build (with full roof load):

Images of the (third row delete) custom cargo shelf : and with an example of tie down: In a previous LC (100 series), the previous owner had installed some beautiful (but heavy) drawers. With this 150, I was looking to maximize flexibility and keep daily weight in check. On week long...

Thanks for asking for more images ... My plan is to post the truck on mud for a week before posting elsewhere. Probably next on expedition portal. The custom fold down wooden table in "up" transit position. Nice stained wood with brushed aluminum trim - and ties to trims on the cargo deck...

I don't have any good options tonight - will have to pursue options in the morning. Agree your concerns. Sounds like the starter is trying to start the engine but not "catching" - could be a fuel pump as 3_puppies implies

I'm not familiar with that approach. Searching now - but not immediately finding a "how to"... is there a thread that explains this?

Temperature dropping (mid 20F), snow falling and made a running to the dump...(15 min drive). Turned off the truck while unloading (5min)... First time in 20yrs the truck cranking but not catching...battery fine but no even a partial start. Tried to tap starter but no difference. I read...

Yakima 1A with three bars and a few boats... later I added a yakima warrior basket with extension.

Thanks for the link to video clip of Himalayan FJ60 roof reinforcement - really enjoyed the utilitarian approach. @jkdur728 - thanks for the offer. I did find a rib at Classic Crusiers P.Spring CO and installed.
