1996 Toyota Land Cruiser- $5100

It is time to part with my 1996 Land Cruiser, I got a 1996 LX fixer upper, so I am letting my beloved and individualized 1996 LC go. It is a Southern truck with no rust on the frame or anything like that. That is a major plus. There are no lockers, which if you aren't really rock crawling or using it to build, you won't really need. I have driven them with and without and can say that only the most extreme of situations require them, which one rarely encounters...I digress.

Anyway, the bad first. Leaks oil from the valve cover gasket, oil pan arches, and maybe a few other places. It isn't horrible, it will mark its territory, but not like a sieve. The right rear tail light and quarter panel have been 'individualized' by a tree. Not too bad, but some red tape and a dent let you know the tree won. The driver's side seat is cracked in the middle (all other leather is good). It needs an alignment. The CEL is on for P401/402, fairly common and easy to fix with a bypass or a sawz-all. The LC was involved in a front end collision on the passenger side in 2004, no air bag deployment and I have all repair records and pictures.

The good, a rust free rig. Fairly new 285 Nitto Terra Grappler's, a good tire btw. Doesn't leak from the sunroof or anywhere (which my LX does something fierce). No HG issues, front knuckles are in good shape, no ticking or anything. Drives like a dream and runs excellently. I know that the bad is longer than the good, but I like to be up front about the little stuff, and well, I figure everyone here knows the good of Land Cruisers or you wouldn't be looking at it .

So anyway, that is the car in a nutshell. It is a reliable, dependable, and great truck that needs a new and loving home. So for $5100, it can be yours too and you can help me fund stripping out and turning my LX into the off road bad ass rig it deserves to be .

Call me at 334.462.5868, PM me, or email me at mjl132@gmail.com. The truck is in Hoover, AL. I'll be glad to email more pictures or anything like that.

Sorry the rig is a little dirty, I'll clean it up for anyone that buys it.

do you get in the mud with the vehicle alot?

was this resolved? https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/451809-help-me-diagnose-my-problem-please.html

There was no issue, just me worrying too much. I posted this for trade once before back in January around that time (https://forum.ih8mud.com/vehicles-trailers-sale-wanted/451432-1996-fzj80.html) and took it down when I noticed something that worried me, namely some white smoke on start up and a little foam on my oil during one change. I wouldn't want to buy anything with issues and wouldn't sell anything with issues.

I have monitored coolant levels(no changes at all), checked the oil twice for signs of issues since then (by changing it), and let a buddy that is a mechanic look at it and there was nothing to fret over he said. I tend to worry and be anal and that is why I wanted to make sure it didn't have any issues before I sold it.

That was three months ago and I have held onto it to make sure there were no problems for the next owner that I couldn't clear up or vouch for one way or the other by knowing if there was an issue or not.

And to answer the other question, which I didn't see, I take it to my hunting club and on trails and stuff there. It sees mud in Coosa County occasionally. It hasn't been a mall cruiser or anything like that, but it hasn't been abused either.

understand. Did you do one the HG checks? https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/430839-how-tell-if-your-head-gasket-blown.html

thats what I was getting at, I bought my 40 without noticing that the entire engine was covered in mud. so now i look for that.

My dad really wants an 80, can you e-mail me some more pictures so I can forward them to him

Just shoot me an email with your address and I'll send you some more pictures. I haven't run that test before, but I'm confident that there aren't any issues with the HG. I'll wash the engine, etc. before I sell it. I've been too busy/lazy lately to get under the rig, etc. to make it pretty.

 

[mjl132]

Easter bump. I'm changing all of the fluids today and cleaning up the underside and engine bay. Also going to fix the egr problem hopefully since apparently everyone outside of the South tests for emissions
