NEW PRICE! I'm asking $18,000 for my truck. My first price was a "fine honey, I'll put it up for sale. This price is now, "ok honey, I'll actually sell the cruiser." I'm now HIGHLY MOTIVATED to sell this rig, lets make a deal.
Here is my thread on MUD - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/its-my-80-thats-baja-bound.433131/
It took me almost a year to post this for sale. Reality has made it obvious that I need to pass this on to someone who can enjoy it. I know I'm going to regret this, but such is life.
Below is the craigslist ad copied and pasted. Craigslist is acting up for me right now -
Who -
I'm Mike, I've owned this Toyota Land Cruiser since Oct 2010.
What -
I'm selling my 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser that I've spent 3 years and over $75K building a comfortable and capable Expedition / Rock Crawler rig. I'm the second owner and bought the truck with 204k miles in it's stock form. Currently the truck has 230k on it. I'll do the math for you, that's just 26k miles on the rebuilt/ supercharged motor. There is a laundry list of modifications that I paid professionals to install. Please see the list below. Also please note the cost of each modification is WITHOUT labor included. If you were to build this truck like mine, it would cost you $35,000 plus tax, plus shipping and plus labor to install (unless you own or run a shop and if that's the case you're not looking at my truck anyway).
When - As soon as possible.
Where - I live in North County SD and work in Mission Valley. I'm currently driving this truck back and forth to work because the San Diego Chargers facility is next to my work and I'm hoping one of those guys sees my truck and has to have it.
Why - This is the hard part for me. I built this truck with the intentions of keeping it forever, there were zero compromises when building this truck. It's basically been rebuilt from the axles up. That being said, I have zero time to wheel this rig. When I built this I had 1 little girl, now I have 3 (2 of which are under 2yrs old). That being said, this truck sits in my driveway 11 months out of a year. I'll probably build another rig when my girls get older, but that's many years down the road.

Things that need fixed:
The truck needs a new brake booster and front rotors (rotors and pads 12/27) . Cruise control stick needs to be reinstalled bought a new steering wheel but it didn't have cruise control). Steering sector shaft needs to be replaced as there is a small twist in the spline that makes the steering wheel off kilter a bit. The driver front tire is wearing unevenly, I would have the alignment checked after the steering sector shaft is fixed. 2nd battery in the dual battery system is dead. It was a bad battery from Optima but it's over a year old so they wont replace it.
Here is a link to an album of current pics of my truck - https://plus.google.com/photos/108715905196394665115/albums/6094278061396633649
