1991 Toyota Landcruiser HDJ81 VX Limited (RHD, auto)
Just bought a new truck and can't keep both. Make me an offer...
Please contact me by PM or reply to this thread.
$16,500
266,xxx km
Purchased for $20k through Outback Imports in Feb 2007 w/150,000km
Fully baselined at ATEB at that time (including BEB)
$17k in parts alone spent since then. . .
No accidents
Drives great, sounds great, looks great, always a conversation starter, by far the best vehicle I've owned.
Currently insured and stored indoors in Richmond.
Engine
• Safari Snorkle
• Gturbo 1st Generation Grunter Turbo (makes 20psi @ 1500rpm)
• Modified fuel pin +tuned to match turbo with safe EGTs
• Walbro 12V pusher pump, primes fast at filter change, no hand-pumping
• Always passes Aircare with ease
• Custom 4" Plenum
• Water-air intercooler system (tested at 69% effective)
• Water-methanol injection system
• 3.5" ceramic coated turbo dump pipe
• 3" mandrel bent exhaust with straight-through Dynomax muffler
• Wholesale Automatics Extreme Valve Body installed at ATEB
• Large Transmission Fluid Cooler
• Lower rad hose heater, battery blankets
• Optima Yellow Top batteries, replaced as a pair ~2yrs ago
• Timing Belt done recently
• ACSD removed
Suspension
• Old Man Emu "J" springs and "L" shocks -- approx 4" lift
• Level stance and no driveline vibrations or weird handling
• Adjustable front and rear panhard bars to center axles
• Front and rear sway bars are currently installed
• 35x12.5x16" Interco TrXus M/T tires @63%, factory rims, brand new 34" spare
• Electric lockers front+rear -- and they work
• "Pin 7 mod" to allow Low range without locking center diff
• Caster correction plates
• Slee Offroad front double cardan driveshaft
• Big brake upgrade on front end -- uses late model larger rotors and calipers with bigger pads -- significantly improves braking over stock
Inside
• Pillar gauge pod w/ Isspro EGT / Boost / Trans Temp Gauges
• Air conditioning and center console Cool Box work
• Compustar alarm w/ power door locks and proximity sensor
• Turbo Timer
• JVC double DIN CD/Bluetooth head unit, Alpine amps, 12" sub in rear panel
• Viair 12V onboard air w/ 11 gallon tank under bed and quick connects front+rear
• Heated front seats
• Rear Husky cargo liner
• Better cup holder
Outside
• Body is in very good shape
• ARB Front winch bumper
• Aisin factory winch w/ remote and Amsteel blue synthetic winch rope
• 6" Pro Comp driving lights
• Cruisin' Offroad Sliders (bolt-on)
• 6 ARB rain gutter clamps and home-made steel boat rack
Fluids
• Amsoil Heavy Duty Diesel Full Synthetic Oil since I've owned it, including original Toyota oil filters
• Amsoil bypass filtration system
• Amsoil Synthetic Gear Oil in front+rear diffs + tcase
Other
• Quite a few extra parts, spare turbo, 3" exhaust and intercooler parts, some parts that I was collecting to begin a 4" exhaust system, huge bag of various sized spare Toyota bolts
• A fair bit of maintenance was done at ATEB in Jan 2010 including injection pump resealing, injector removal and rebuilding (Fred Holmes), front knuckle resealing, valve clearances, coolant and steering fluid flushes, wheel bearings, and much more (~$5000).
• Chassis and Engine Manuals, aftermarket parts instruction manuals, alarm wiring diagrams, as well as customized part numbers list and modification details provided to help out down the road
• Will be eligible for US import in 2016, 10x the market, should be very easy to resell
What's wrong:
• Cooling system pushes some fluid back into reservoir on long periods of full load. It only does a small amount, at which point it stabilizes for as long as I keep driving. After a few cool down cycles it draws the fluid back to the normal level. It doesn't do this during city driving, regular highway driving, or offroad - only long hard highway hill runs with a heavy load. This has happened for almost 2 yrs with no change. The system does not overflow or lose any fluid and has never overheated.
• Tree scratch down passenger side door. Could probably be cleaned up without too much trouble.
• Typical small leaks/weeps from a 23 year old truck. It doesn't lose any fluids in quantities sufficient to require refilling. Oil level doesn't change between fills.
• Exhaust system is 6 years old and some areas are getting rusty. With some patch work it will last a couple of years without major work.
• Power windows are very slow in cold weather, which is typical for 80-series Landcruisers, there are several known methods of improving this.
• Front wipers high speed position has never worked, possibly needs switch cleaning.
