The time has regrettably come that I MUST sell my 1985 Land Cruiser BJ 70. Life changes and dictates this sale. I have owned this rig since 2003 and am the second owner, previous owner was William Sauter, former owner of Sauter Toyota in Sante Fe, New Mexico. This vehicle was legally imported into the U.S. and currently has an Oregon title. It came from middle part of Alberta in the high desert and therefore does not suffer from extreme rust. Prior to this I have owned 4 FJ40’s, a FJ55, and a BJ 60, my experience with cruisers and Toyota’s as a whole runs deep. Countless hours and over $25K have been invested. Great pride has been taken in my BJ 70 and I thought that I would never sell it, well times change, I bought a house in the mountains and purchased a new John Deere tractor to service the property and make it through the winters. It breaks my heart to see it go, but life happens. Would like to see it go the mud community, but will be listing on ebay in a week. It is not perfect and I am going to be direct as to its condition. All work has been done by me, except the front bumper and snorkel. Has air conditioning. All receipts are available.
