I picked up my 95 Land Cruiser on Saturday morning. I was just randomly looking around online when this showed up as a Ebay listing. I noticed he was local to me. I messaged the seller if I could come look over the vehicle before placing my bid online. He agreed but to inform me he pulled it down to fix the AC and Front knuckle. A few days later he messaged me letting me know I could come look at it.
It checked all the right boxes. All original, 2 owners, 148K miles, no major rust issues, FACTORY LOCKERS, and a TRD supercharger. The original window sticker was still in the glove box. It is cloth instead of leather. All the leather I seen on other ones were ripped most of the time. I am ready to take this stock vehicle and make it my own.
First on the to do list is the little things. I always tear the interior apart and clean it really good on every used car I get. There is a few bulbs out I need to replace. A good wash and detail to include cleaning the engine bay and under the vehicle. Remove running boards.
This is my 4th Toyota. My 99 4runner that I sold a few years ago to pick up my 01 SC 4runner. I still have it. My wife has a 16 4runner Trail. Now my 95 LC. I will post my build up of my 01 4runner if anyone is interested.

After I picked it up and the first of many times at the gas pump
Got it home and removed that ridiculous roof basket
Still had the original window sticker in the glove box
Factory Lockers
TRD supercharger that was bought brand new and installed 30k miles ago
Had some crazy audio system in it
Weight reduction
Next to my 4runner
