The Great White Buffalo is For Sale...go tell your friends, family, and heck, even some strangers...or better yet, keep the secret and buy it yourself!
Up for sale is a 1991 Toyota Landcruiser; also known as an FJ-80, and not to be confused with it's younger sibling, the FZJ-80. The vehicle currently has 180,710 miles, and will have more by the time I sell it. I would not hesitate to take it to MX or across the country right now. It has been our main camping and exploring vehicle for the past 2 years, but we are downsizing and moving on to different vehicles.
The basics:
With all that said, I'm looking for $3,500 for the vehicle.Please feel free to contact me via email with any questions, offers, or interest.
Thank you for looking.
The pictures below are how it sits this moment. I'll be putting up more detailed pictures once I get a chance to take it to a car wash, remove my kid's car seats, and clean up the goldfish, raisins, and whatever else a 2 year old can mash in to a cloth interior at the molecular level.

The vehicle currently has 180,710 miles, and will have more by the time I sell it. I would not hesitate to take it to MX or across the country right now. It has been our main camping and exploring vehicle for the past 2 years, but we are downsizing and moving on to different vehicles.
The basics:
- The uber-reliable 3FE 4.0L I6 engine. If you want to be able to change your oil, then burn it for fuel, this is your engine. If you want a super fuel efficient, modern powerhouse motor, you may want to keep looking.
- A440F 4-speed Transmission
- Full-time four wheel drive with four wheel drive low. Equipped with factory selectable center differential lock.
- Coils at all four corners
- Front disc brakes, rear drum brakes on semi-floating rear axle.
- 3rd row seats.
- 850/863 Old Man Emu coil spring suspension system, with Old Man Emu Nitrocharger shocks. The front suspension also has 1” spacers installed; very handy if you intend to run a winch and bumper combination as I once did.
- 235/85/16s Treadwright Mud Terrains on Tundra 16” steel wheels. Same size spare on a Tundra spare wheel(same size as other wheels). These tires have performed flawlessly through 2 trip to Mexico, 5' of snow last winter, and everything between. They are no noisier than any other MT, and have had no balance issues either. Tread depth is about 11/32nds on all tires.
- I've installed two layers of Second Skin Audio Damplifier in the front foot wells, and over the transmission tunnel, as well as an extra layer over the catalytic converter area. The Damplifier was covered with Second Skin Audio Heatwave in place of the factory jute padding. The combination of these two products has quieted down the cabin, and reduced the heat intrusion around the transmission as well.
- National Luna Dual Battery Kit with two Sears Diehard Platinum Batteries.(The solenoid and monitor may be removed depending on sale price).
- Constant hot 12V socket added to cargo area.
- I installed a hood prop rod from a 62 series, so reliance on the hood struts is no longer an issue.
- At 165,000 miles, I did a general tune-u on the engine. This included changing the oil, oil filter, air filter, plugs, plug wires, cap, rotor, igniter, oil pan gasket(one piece cork version from Toyota). I also installed a new AFM as I boogered mine, and I installed a new rubber intake hose(the big one from the AFM to the throttle body). The fuel filter was also replaced during this service.
- The heater core was replaced with a new Toyota core at 170,000 miles, and the AC was serviced then as well. This included a new drier, and a fresh charge of R12(with oil).
- The evaporator was replaced by Cabe Toyota in Long Beach under a recall at 165,000 miles, and so was the AC pressure switch(not sure if that is the correct name for it).
- The front axle was rebuilt at 171,600 miles using all Toyota parts, with Marlin inner seals. New rotors and pads were installed as well.
- The in-tank fuel “sock” was replaced at 170,000 miles.
- Standard oil change interval of 3,000 miles using Toyota filters, and synthetic oil.
- I replaced the radiator, fan clutch, t-stat, radiator cap, radiator hoses, and sensors at ~178,000 miles with all Toyota replacement parts. This was done before my trip to Bahia Gonzaga and I had no leaks or issues with the cooling system.
- I replaced the rear hatch struts at 165,000 miles with aftermarket versions.
- The alternator was replaced with an Autozone 80A version after the MX trip.
- No antenna. I removed the antenna to install an OEM Toyota snorkel, but since I am selling the vehicle, I'd not putting the work in to installing the snorkel. The radio still works fine, and receives a decent signal. If the sale price is right, the OEM snorkel might be thrown in to sweeten the deal.
- The CD player on the radio doesn't work. It hasn't since the day I bought it, and it has never been an issue to me.
- The smog pump and associated equipment has been removed. I live in Northern Arizona, and we do not have smog testing. I have all the components to return the pump to the stock configuration, including the correctly sized belts. I made block off plates, and plugged the vacuum lines appropriately. The engine runs stronger than in stock configuration, and gas mileage has not been affected.
- The oxygen sensors need replaced. I have both sensors(new Toyota ones) and I will include this with the sale of the vehicle if the sale price is right.
- The power steering is slow when cold, and the box/pump both leak. The pump could use a rebuild and I have an extra, non-leaking box that I will include with the sale.
- The rear heater fan was removed when I did the heater core; it was leaking from one of the lines, and I did not need the function. I've had the vehicle through two nasty Flagstaff winters, and still see no need for it. I capped the hole, and insulated over it.
- The oil pan bolts need tightening again; there is an oil weep, but nothing I would consider major.
With all that said, I'm looking for $3,500 for the vehicle.Please feel free to contact me via email with any questions, offers, or interest.
