This truck is for sale. $17,000. It will be on ebay in a few days it's on ebay.
1986 LJ70 with the LX trim. 2LT turbo diesel and R150F 5 speed.
319,395 Km = 198,462 miles.
Original, not restored and not modified.
I bought this truck in September 2013. It had been imported from Belgium. On the drive home I took it to the TOYOTA dealer for inspection, and following his recommendations:
Modified preventative maintenance suite
Replaced all fluids; front and rear differentials, transfer case, transmission, crankcase, power steering, brake fluid and cooling system.
Rebuilt steering knuckles, new seals and all new bearings.
Replaced timing belt and idlers, water pump, thermostat, replaced fuel filter and air filter, replaced all belts, and all hoses in the cooling system. Reworked the brake system including new rear wheel cylinders, parking brake, turned front rotors and new pads.
All OEM TOYOTA parts.
Only repair that it has needed was rebuild the starter.
It has run flawlessly since the day I bought it and has been driven daily by my daughter in law, or me, or my son.
Interior is impeccable, everything works, no rips, tears or stains, though the center console doesn't have a latch. Exterior has some blemishes, touch up paint, and the windshield has been replaced (TOYOTA glass). No body rust in the usual places or easily repaired, and the underside has had corrosion protectant applied, probably numerous times. This truck was well cared for, well maintained and not abused. I can't say whether it was kept indoors, but judging from the condition of the paint, rubber, decals and plastic trim, it was treated much better than most.
Coil springs make it a breeze to maneuver, limited slip differential is also a plus. It's got the smaller axles and differentials than the BJ's and HJ's, but for pavement and everything but expedition, I think that's a positive too. This is a 2LT, not a 2LTE, not sure if that makes a difference in reliability, but it's performed well for me.
