This was a covid project and I really enjoyed it, but health issues have forced me to focus on recovery and I hate to see her just sitting in the driveway. Originally out of the southwest, I picked it up from a guy in Ithaca, NY who only had it in the NE for a few years so rust was minimal...
Decided to go with some new rims and tires, and I don't really want to store these factory rims for the ten years until I sell my cruiser. First $250 gets all five... and while I will ship them if you're willing to pay for packing and shipping... I would much rather someone local pick them up...

I'm in Milford, CT and picked up my first Land Cruiser over the weekend. Looks like this is the local group for my area so I thought I'd introduce myself. She's getting the mechanical rundown this week, following by paint and undercoating, and then a little interior work. Then she'll be my...
