With that said, lets start with information from before I purchsed it...... looks shiny and nice from the outside.
The purchaser of the rig had it shipped it to a shop (non- land cruiser) and this is what they said:

With that said, lets start with information from before I purchsed it...... looks shiny and nice from the outside.
The purchaser of the rig had it shipped it to a shop (non- land cruiser) and this is what they said:
- Engine is crooked in bay. Needs new mounts.
- No heater
- Engine is pouring oil out because freeze plug popped out. Engine does run.
- Driveshafts are loose
- Axle hubs need to be rebuilt. Rear axle seems fine.
- Truck having trouble staying in 1st gear.
- no windshield wipers (totally over rated anyway)
- Gas tank leaking (was braised, but a totally s*** job)
- Frame solid and rust free. See photos/videos.
- Body is straight and in fantastic shape. There is bodywork. Also a few minor dings/scratches and whatnot. No biggie
- Paint looks really good with a few blemishes here and there.
- New wheels and tires are awesome
- Crazy unique
- Interior pretty good!
- Replacement parts in the original listing seem to be accurate.
