I am offering for sale my 1997 Collectors Edition FZJ80 in Moonglow Pearl. It has 214k miles, and a clean PA title in my name. It is inspected until August 2024. There is no CEL or hidden/masked codes. VIN JT3HJ85J1V0186823 It runs, drives, shifts and stops. 4WD is in working order, except the...

I have always wanted a Cruiser, and a good friend gifted me a nice Collector's Edition 1997 80 series. Currently in Pennsylvania, but up and down the east coast frequently. My daily driver right now is an 03 Tacoma with the OME heavy lift, ARB front and Shrockwors rear bumpers. I took this truck...
