Hello Guys,
I purchased this Land Cruiser in February of 2015 with 161k miles on the clock. Since then I've enjoyed taking care of this truck and giving it a good refresh. The mileage is currently at 179,796. Over the past two years I've done the following maintenance/base line work. This truck has spent it's life in New Mexico and Texas. Very minor rust pitting is occurring at a few spots at the surface of the original paint. Nothing that can't be sanded out and resprayed. For a Land Cruiser, I consider this one damn near rust free. One minor dent on rear quarter panel (see photo). Interior is pretty clean other than the usual driver seat tear. Dash is cracked. This truck has been my daily driver and runs very well. I'm moving on to another toy now. Big Thanks to this forum for all the helpful knowledge. $11,000 Takes It.

Things That Do Not Work:
1.) Stock Radio works but the scan button is the only way to get thru the stations.
2.) Stock Antenna is functional but power up and down does not work.
3.) A/C currently does not blow cold. I've had compressor rebuilt and converted to R134. I have purchased the following parts to completely overhaul A/C system. After a 6 month wait, I finally received the Denso condenser from Japan (was on backorder forever). I will have a/c working prior to sale.
HVAC
AC Compressor Rebuilt (Converted to R134)

-Condenser (Denso)

4.) Small Oil drip at rear main seal.
