SOLD 1991 HDJ77 LX Land Cruiser

Cool, thanks for the information, haven't seen that concept in cruisers before. Reminds of my part time job in college of driving an offload dump truck [was air suspension], but same concept. I see how things could get sensitive on the throttle off-road.....

cool cruiser, GLWS!!

Fluid film sprayed on every year and collects all the dust!

If the engine is the issue bringing it to the USA....pull the engine and bring it down without the engine. Then bring down the engine and install it. You got your self a mighty fine Cruiser

Hard to believe this is still for sale. Nice truck. Someone will be very happy with it.

Im pretty good on the Cruiser front. What engine did this truck come with?

The Cruiser originally came with the PZ engine as per the original post details. @BJ74Guy

 

[buckmeek]

Hi, is this still available?

 

[Petzel]

@buckmeek ...indeed it is!

 

[SteadFast]

@Petzel any chance this is still for sale?

 

[Petzel]

It could be. Haven't really put any effort into selling since i sold my old Westfalia (and i absolutely love this cruiser!)

@SteadFast Let me know your thoughts in a private message. I already sent you one.

This is almost the dream Cruiser. Ever end up selling it?

 

[Petzel]

Hah, no! Believe me....I had no idea that all of you cruiser heads were all talk!

Just joking. I am a cruiserhead that is not so secretly glad no one has snagged it. I am just utterly amazed that it is still sitting in my driveway. I used it a little bit this summer, but other than that it has been parked since last fall. This is my dream cruiser that just doesn't work for me right now as i had to buy a pickup truck to satisfy my business needs.

 

[coldtaco]

well, bump for you.

 

[ForealBoreal]

For the money this truck is priced very fair.
If I were to do it all again the 1hd-t would be the ticket if I wanted to turbo a 1HZ.
Bump for this gem of a rig.

 

[Reinhardtius]

This truck is over 25 years old, yes? I've not heard of the agents going into and underneath inspecting everything from bumper to bumper. I have never heard of someone being turned away but I don't read every single import thread either.

I do agree that it depends on the agent and his/her mood.

Good luck with your sale. Nice truck.

There is of course some reporting error that we have to account for in *not hearing* someone being turned away for an engine swap of this kind, because the importer would not have been successful and therefore may be a bit ashamed to admit that they were turned away by CBP. In any case, the seller has indicated that one could remove the 1HDT to import. That sounds like a workable solution.

 

[ForealBoreal]

Its a factory toyota engine i doubt someone and would bet money nobody would know the difference. The engines look identical basically minus a turbo and cross pipe.
I wouldnt fret it.

I have not been pushing the sale of this Cruiser, and more so keeping it for fun use instead of daily driver. However it may get listed again as other projects are on my brain. We took it on a 5,000km road trip through Mo, Wy, Co, Ut, Id and it has performed perfectly. If there is any serious interest in this please let me know.
