A close to stock / not-too-built LX460 or LX470 for a daily driver has been approved by the family as a trade, if anyone is looking to get into an 80 series. Other Toyota or Subaru 4x4 / AWD mountain dailies or a new work / farm truck for the cabin will also be considered. Our life and work circumstances have changed a good bit over the past few weeks including a lot of Highway miles commuting and as much as I wish it made sense, I don’t want to drive our beautiful Buena as a commute vehicle between WA and WY.

Our beautiful leather-lined, LS-swapped 80 series needs a new home. We hope to not be selling outright with no trade, and are hoping someone has one or more of the following they no longer need, and need or want an 80 series, triple locked from the factory, with LS swap. However, we realize how difficult some of these items are to get and that you may only have cash, hence the cash price listed.

Price if you don’t have a trade is 33,333k USD picked up in the Methow Valley in Washington. We really prefer local pickup in the Methow Valley and to get to meet the new owners. If you haven’t been, it has some of the more unique mountain towns and borders North Cascades National Park.

For trades, can arrange meetups most places in the lower 48 midway between home bases. For sale, delivery negotiable.

Wanted to open it up to real drivers on here first before it goes to auction on BaT and sits in a 18 car garage to have wine spilt on it. All potential new homes for Buena the Cruiser will be interviewed to make sure that she is going to a loving, adventure-filled future home.
We prefer trades (plus cash on either end depending on what you’ve got) for the following:
  • Scamp or Casita or Airstream Bambi or Argosy trailer under 19’
  • 1998 or later automatic Tacoma or Tundra 4x4 xtra or crew cab or T100 of similar vintage (or maybe a Nissan Frontier) - preferably with at least a 6’ bed
  • A newer daily driver Subaru Outback or Forester 2001 or later
  • A comfortable daily driver 100 or 200 series Land Cruiser or Lexus GX460 / GX470 / LX470 / LX570 (or maybe a Toyota 4Runner 4th or 5th Gen or Sequoia)
  • Small or Medium 29er or 27.5” Hardtail or Full Suspension mountain or gravel bike(s), newer, prefer 1x11 or 1x12 drivetrain
  • NRS, Sol, Red, Hala, Badfish, or Sol paddle boards > 8 feet
  • Patented mining claim in Colorado, mountain land in Washington near Leavenworth, Winthrop, or similar, or land near Sun Valley or Driggs Idaho or Salt Lake City or Park City Utah
Land Cruiser has had a Western life (Texas, Washington) life. Many years of maintenance and upgrade paperwork available on paper and digitally. $45,000 + in documented work over past ~ 5 years
This is a 95 with stock:
  • Triple lockers (front, rear, center)
  • Luxury interior - leather and tortoise-looking stuff
  • 3rd row seats

  • LS swap engine 5.3L and 4L60e transmission (professionally done by The Land Cruiser Shop) - donor low-miles engine and transmission shop rebuilt transmission. If you aren’t familiar with The Land Cruiser Shop, they are one of the top Land Cruiser shops in the West, and this work was beautiful (and pricey @ $25000+). Includes emissions components to match engine.
  • Digital gauges that actually work and change colors for day / night driving
  • Newer ball joints and u joint
  • Newer front leather upholstery ($940 installed)
  • Newer brakes ($450)
  • Newer AC w new compressor, condenser, and valves ($2000)

Plus a bunch of other stuff - too much to list into this vehicle

Body has about 280k miles. Lift, bumpers, rebuilt birfs, wheels, etc have much less obviously.

Swap has about 700 miles since picked up from The Land Cruiser Shop.

If you have questions, want to share with a friend, or pick up, you can message me directly. I will review and if there are pertinent things that I am missing from the listing, I will update as needed.

Shes a real beauty! Whats gas mileage like after the swap?
Haven’t gotten a robust sample yet given how few miles are on it, but my preliminary calculations from flat-ish driving (if you can call it that, our valley has roads from 1500 up to 7000 feet) is in the 17-18 mpg range. Current tune designed for crushing highway speeds at 1500-2000 rpms. There should be a couple driving videos in the Google Drive if you want to check out. Feel free to Pm if interested.
