"Bullwinkle" has been a good truck, but needs a new home.
1993 Toyota Landcruiser FZJ80
4.5L L6 FI DOHC 24 V
All-Wheel Drive
206K miles
$2500
Biggest issue by far is the transmission, which is why the low price.
Had it checked out by a trans specialist shop that does a lot of
Toyota / Land Cruiser work, and they confirmed what I suspected.
It shifts directly from first to fourth, and needs replacing with
a good reman--the sooner the better.
Cooper Discover A/T 35" LT315/75R16 with 15K miles--a lot of tread left.
OME 2.5" lift kit with steering stabilizer shock
AC blows ice cold
Nevada high desert and California vehicle. No rust.
Kargo Master Safari roof rack

It's fairly drivable, for now anyway. Leave it in 2 when starting
out, and shift into D at about 40. Cruises fine at highway speed,
and I recently did a six hundred mile trip without incident. It might
be able to go another 20-30K like this, or it could flake tomorrow.
I like the truck but am taking a different route vehicle-wise, regardless.
Other:
------
Fantastic Yosemite/camping weekender. Holds an enormous amount of gear.
Used to have the third row seats, but no more. Took up too much useful
cargo space and I got rid of them.
Minor ding left rear. Taillights have been replaced with better than factory
LED assemblies, both sides. Not a huge deal to fix the ding.
Uses some oil. I add a half quart about every 500 mi between 3000 mile changes.
Motor otherwise has been solid; no overheating or other issues.
Slow leaks some trans fluid at the rear seal, so I've topped it off at
oil change time. Somewhat a moot point since the trans will need to come out
anyway.
IIRC, Toyota Land Cruiser didn't have air bags until 1995, so this one doesn't.

$2500--fair price for a once-upon-a-time-$50K vehicle that's drivable and
decently sound. The tires, OME kit, roof rack, and winch might be worth $2K,
so you'd have the rest of a solid base builder FZJ80 for < $1K, at any rate.
I'm going to wait a couple days before posting to the CL tire-kickers,
so ih8mud gets first crack. Come and get it.
thanks for looking
