So after some discussion, negotiation, and bargaining, I have decided to devote my time to my other hobby of motorcycling, and part of the negotiation with wifey includes the sale of the Land Cruiser. Its been a great vehicle for the past year and hopefully it will make someone else as happy.

VEHICLE:
May 1993 HDJ81, VX Limited, 161k km's. No lockers, A442 auto tranny.

HISTORY:
I purchased the truck from mainland Japan while I was stationed in Okinawa. It was my daily driver for about 9 months until I PCS'd back to the states. Shipped it back to Oklahoma on the governments dime. All legal importation and now has a clear Oklahoma title. I do drive it regularly between Edmond, OK and Tinker AFB.

EXTERIOR:
- Factory green paint. I do believe the previous owner had the spare tire carrier removed, had the holes filled in, and the back part of the truck painted. I can see the fill job on the rear hatch from the latch.
- Other paint is in probably 6-10 condition. Top of the front fender has some clear coat aging. Clear is also starting to peel in some spots on the fender flares as well as under the rear cargo windows.
- 16" unknown brand wheels with almost new 315 BFG A/T KO's.
- Unknown lift that was installed by dealer I bought from. It has pro comp springs and yellow springs, possibly TJM. Never been able to find any markings.

INTERIOR:
- Manual seats, console fridge (which circulates air, but its not super cold). All power windows/locks function. A/C is R134 and works and blows cold.
- Has a Japanese aftermarket touch screen radio that unfortunately only goes up about 89.9 mHz. I think it has bluetooth, but all the menus are in Japanese.
- Seats, headliner, carpets are all in excellent condition.
- Sunroof works; both tilt and slide.

ENGINE:
- 1HD-T with 161k kms. Sticker says timing belt was replaced at 98k kms. Before I shipped it home, I changed the oil.
- ACSD has been deleted by me.
- BEB's have not yet been replaced. I have a set in my possession with new connecting rod bolts I purchased from Steve at LCD, but have not installed them yet.

RUST:
- It has a spot in the front right fender well slightly smaller than a golf ball.
- Bottoms of the doors were starting to show, so in Okinawa I took an abrasive wheel, sanded down and layed about a 1 inch stirip of POR15 on the exterior as well as tried to get as much inside the door as I could.

Since I have owned it, I deleted the ACSD, flushed cooling and added fresh Toyota red coolant. I replaced the 4 belt moldings on the doors and added a set of LandCruiser Phil's gullwing windows. I still have the factory rear non-sliding windows.

Inlcuded with purchase are the new set of BEB's as well as a full 3" turbo back Redback Exhaust, ordered from Australia. Its a modular bolt up exhaust that has the option of a straight pipe or straight through muffler. I still plan on having these installed, but as they get installed the price will firm up. I just recently replaced the ATF as well as drained/refilled both diffs and the transfer case.

With the exception of the lift, I believe this truck has been unmolested. Engine runs smooth and strong. Im sure Ive missed a lot, so if you have questions, please dont hesitate to ask. I can get you pictures or videos of whatever you'd like to see. Truck is located in Edmond, OK, just north of Oklahoma City.

I'm asking $13,000 firm. Thanks for looking.

The guy in Purcell made a mistake!
This thing is worth every penny!
My opinion is based on seeing this thing in person, your description doesn’t do it justice.
The paint has a little fading in the top of the fenders but it’s way better than a 6!
Keep us posted.
 
Any pics of the underneath? Also:

- any vibrations ?
-caster correction done?
- adjusted /adjustable front and rear panhards for lift?
-dual cardan shaft? Etc.
-did u ever get compression done when purchasing by chance?

I'll go snap some pics of the undercarriage. No vibrations. I did not have a compression test done. No blow by according to the "Unscrew the oil cap and see if it dances" test. As far as I know, all the dealership in Tokyo did for the lift is shocks and springs. I have no idea about caster correction. Driveshafts appear to be orginal as well as panhard bars and all other suspension components. Not sure on height of the lift as it was installed prior and the dealer didn't know specs. From middle of hub to fender arch measures 23 3/4" rear and 23" front.
 
See below for undercarriage. Sorry, I dont have a lift, so these are on my back in the driveway. Minor surface rust, but nothing that couldnt be taken care of with a wire wheel in my opinion.

man, beautiful truck. Hopefully this buyer actually buys it.
 
Registered just to post, but if it doesn't sell, please PM me. I'm interested and not a terribly long drive away.

I was considering importing one but this is a good deal and I'd be happy to re-home it.

Air Force vet myself.
 
Hi there what do you get for a gallon on diesel? With full tank can you get 500miles?
 
That is what I am looking for from Europe to US but this is easier. Do you have a phone that I can reach you?
