This is a nice Cruiser that could and would be my daily driver if I didn't need a pick-up for work. I bought it about 8 years ago in Nampa, Id. The previous owner said he brought it up from California. Thats about all I know of its history. There are more things that I have fixed or upgraded over the last 8 years than I can remember but I will try to get most of it on here.

-Rebuilt original F155 Toyota 6 cylinder motor with plenty of pep and power. (about 10,000 thousand miles since rebuild.)
-Upgraded Australian H41 4 speed Toyota transmission. (This has a 4.925:1 1st gear rather than the American 3.555:1.) Still has the stock lower geared 3 speed transfer case which gives it a super nice crawling gear. And it is all stock Land Cruiser parts.
-Center Force Dual Friction clutch.
-Asian vacuum advance carburetor with vacuum advance distributer. (gives a little more pep and performs great off road even in high elevations.)
-Toyota Mini Truck power steering.
-New "HFS" 3 inch lift and 32/11.50 mud terrain tires.(about 60% tread remaining.)
-U bolt skid plates.
-Full roll cage with a place for CB and grab handles
-Fold and tumble rear bench seat.
-New dune beige paint. (2007)
-Has Best Top soft top, summer top, and hard top.(Not painted or assembled but complete with some new gaskets and seals and enough paint, although its 7 years old, to finish it. All included with sale.)


----WINCH NOT INCLUDED---


There is more, I'm sure. And there are lots of spare parts as well as stuff I have to still put on. I have black leather heated bucket seats from a Subaru and shoulder belts from a newer FJ40 I was going to install but have not gotten around to it. I will include all of this stuff with "buy it now price".

This truck looks great but it is not perfect.(minor rust resurfacing, some paint chips and minor scratches from branches and things. "Desert pin striping" I guess you might call it) I get looks and compliments every time I drive it. But it is one of those rigs that I built and used for hunting, camping and and OHV use so the paint is no longer perfect. If you want a truck that looks good and has many of the upgrades needed for great off road capability then this is the Cruiser for you.

I have owned and been building and improving this Cruiser with the intension of keeping it forever but an opportunity has come up for me that I would like to take advantage of so I am reluctantly selling.

Land Cruiser is in Ontario, OR. About an hour west of Boise, ID

Do you have pictures of the disassembled hard top? Do you have the hard doors also?

Thanks,
Michael
 
I can get you pictures of the hard top. Just get me your email. Or should I post them up on here? I do have 2 doors that are in good shape as well as some spares.
 
Yes... you can post pics or send to me at imyahucklbrry@bellsouth.net
Have you upgraded the brakes? Also, do you have documentation of engine rebuild?

Thanks!
 
I will get you pics this evening. The brakes are still drum. I do have receipts for the engine and nearly everything else as well.

FYI I put it on ebay last night. There are more pics there.

So here are the pictures of the hard top. There are several different colors because I have been collecting hardtops for several years. I think two and two partials. What I have left are the best parts out of all of them. A little rust on a couple parts but not bad. The pictures show the worst of it. My next project was to finish the hard top. I talked to a body shop and they told me $1500 to fix the rusty spots and paint it. M
