1994 Toyota Land Cruiser



I bought this truck out of Durango, CO almost 4 years ago at 217K miles (I’m in the Seattle, WA area). Have enjoyed overlanding and camping for the last 4 years with it – never had an issue with it. It has been well maintained and is a very solid truck mechanically, suffering from some minor cosmetic issues. Everyone that sees the truck loves it. I’m only selling as I have a new 4Runner coming, so not leaving the Toyota fold.


Below are details from the previous owner’s extensive write-up that would be tough for me to better, and I have updated information along the way with some dates and more work I have done in the last few years.

Records

The file on the truck is nearing 6” thick. There are records upon records and invoices for everything going back three owners. It is the most extensive files for any car I have ever owned.


Full Disclosure Cons/Problems from Front to Back

Front clip was less-than-exactingly repaired…Front radiator support should have been replaced after non-frame effecting accident that totaled it out. Therefore, the front fenders hang a little bit off, the inners are banged back into general compliance (light deformation, not giant). The hood’s clear is coming off to an extensive degree (replacement hood after accident). Basically the front clip (body) shows okay but has some issues. It’s what’s known as a 15 footer. Clear coat is also failing on right front fender and left rear door. Other than those three panels, the paint is solid on the truck, and cleans up nice with an annual polish and wax.

Windshield is original Toyota glass and cracked but not bad and has never gotten bigger during my ownership, or the previous owner’s time. (Didn’t trust anyone local to seal it right so never did it). Does not leak.

Drivers side Front Window Motor replaced and powerful but tracks are slightly off so it doesn’t go up super smooth and it pops at the top instead of simply stopping. Passenger side Front Window is SLOW, tracks are good, will go in-op (will need hand assistance) if cold enough. Rear windows are in-op.

Hatch supports can become in-op due to cold, not terrible here in mild Seattle.

Aforementioned Code 71 EGR – needs deleting or repair. O2’s have been checked and are fine. Passes emissions in WA state just fine.

Small oil leak at Oil Pump Cover Gasket. Never hits the ground.

Small Leak at rear main or upper pan gasket. Never hits the ground.

Very small amount of rust on lower inner door skin of rear door, driver’s side.

Cosmetic damage to Land Cruiser trim piece on center of rear hatch.

Tires still have plenty of tread, however they are 2008 date code on the rubber.

A “clunk” has started in the rear suspension in the last month or two – I cannot seem to figure out where it is coming from, and have been under there to nut and bolt everything. Does not happen in normal driving, only rougher roads. It may be from the rear sway bar, the bushings all look like they are due to be replaced.

“D” light is burned out on the cluster, as well as the ECT light, but everything works fine. I like it with no lights after having driven it for all these years.


Price:


I’ll price this two ways, one with everything on it, a turn key exploration rig, and the second, a stripped down version with things that I am willing to keep and transfer to the new truck.

Option A - $XXXXX – Everything listed above, pretty much turn key truck.

Option B - $XXXXX – Less AutoHome Tent, Custom Rack, ARB Awning and Room, ARB Fridge, Inverter, Rear Drawer System.

Thanks, happy to talk about the truck, give me a call/text at the number above, I am not often on the forums. Even though I should be, IH8MUD has been the best resource ever for this truck!

You really took incredible care of this truck.

Wish I could have just stroked a check to get it back.

The new owner will be incredibly stoked and rewarded to have this vehicle.

I know everyone swears by the triple locked trucks, but I have been very impressed with this locker in the rear. In 4LO, CDL locked and this rear locker, this truck will walk up just about anything, and through some pretty muddy terrain as well. I like that it works all the time, no air needed, or even a switch needed. For the general overlanding style of travel, it is more than you even need. I have been in a few situations where I was glad to have it though, and no complaints after 4 years of use.

Cheers -- most credit goes to you, you did all the wonderful maintenance on this before I got it -- it has been a great 4 years with no issues! Great truck, will look back with nothing but fond memories on this one.
 
You have given me much to think about with the comment about Powertrax vs lockers. How noisy are the Lock-rite diffs on corners. The manufacturer says it is a bit noisy, on a scale of 1 "I never even noticed it man" to 5 "I have tinnitus like it is a Metallica concert at ever corner" how is it?

GLWTS
 
Well, based on that scale, I guess a 2? LOL. I have heard it, but you don't notice it that much. Quiet residential street, no radio, windows down, hard turn, yep, you can hear it. Normal driving - rarely hear it. Radio on at normal volume -- you'd never hear it.
 
I am incredibly excited to pick this rig up. NW Euro had great things to say about your work on the truck, Trapper.
 
Well, that's nice of him to say and he's a smart guy ;)

Welcome to Mud! If you ever have questions about the truck, I'll be happy to try and answer.
(Or at least while it was in my possession) From the looks of it, Jason really kept it going the
right direction....Still love the blue leather on mechanical seats...best combo.

That truck just looks so "StormTrooper", especially with the hardshell RTT on the top.

Promise you'll get it out of ATL and into some mountains! And make sure to contact @beno
for parts, he's in Atlanta. (And one of the most knowledgeable minds regarding LC's, and
specifically 80 series, on the planet...as well as a stand-up guy)

Cheers!
 
Thanks for the welcome. I guarantee it will spend a lot of time outside Atlanta. For starters, I'll pick it up in Seattle in February and drive/camp my way to Salt Lake City over a couple or three days. I plan to store it there until I can schedule the next leg, probably through Colorado, storing it near an airport there. Lather, rinse, repeat until it's here in Atlanta.

I appreciate the referral. I know the guys at ACC pretty well so I know I'll be leaning on them to help me maintain the great setup the two prior owners put in place.
 
Very well put together rig a lot of top notch parts GL and enjoy it .
