Very nice! Just saw this and interested. I'm not in the US right now but will be back in mid-May. If you still have it I'll be in contact.

Thanks and ya never know.

Is the hood black panel just a sticker ?

I need to update the pics because it no longer has the blacked out hood.

Can vouch for this seller. Honest and upfront guy, buy with confidence. Sweet truck, GLWS!

Damn. Exactly what I'm looking for - sweet build from a reputable person. I wish I had the cash right now!

 

[MCB Parts]

Shame I DO have the cash, ready to go and the seller didn't really want to answer the few questions I asked and told me to lose his phone number.. Perhaps, just a thought, that is why it's been for sale hundreds of days!

Treat people right, especially when you have a qualified buyer ready to go. The other rigs I have been looking at, their owners are GREAT guys, gave tons of info, pics, etc. THAT is what it takes to sell a mid 90's toyota for @20K+ IMO.

My business does VERY well with top shelf customer service.. 18 years strong.

Oh well, many more for sale, better builds on some as well.

 

[ATXFJ80]

To quote the previous comment "Please see our website to get familiar." With that he obviously doesn't want his time
wasted and well nor do I or anyone else on here who is a considerate man or woman.
His contact with me concerning the rig was made without following is own request with regards to the value of my time.
So yeah my patients runs a little thin these days when I get asked for more pics when there are more than enough in the listing to clearly show the condition of the rig. Also when they ask questions that are clearly answered in the long well described listing. Plus when they follow up with "well I have to go look at the listing on my computer because I'm on my phone and can't clearly see the pics". As for 20+K asking, well it is clearly at $18,500 and not the latter. As to the age of an LC80, well we all know that they are 22+ years old or older.
This rig was built for me and not as a spec rig to sell down the road. That said it's an awesome build for someone who has no time or desire to build a rig and wants to spend his time enjoying the outdoors.
With regards to the twin rear spares. I have spindle caps that can go over the spindles if a buyer wanted to remove either of the spare swingouts or both of them. Plus one can modify whichever swing-out to carry what they wish aside from a spare if you don't feel twin spares are needed. The side ladder is also removeable as it is a bolt on attachment.

In closing, I'm lowering the asking price to $17,000. With that I do ask that one takes the time to read the listing clearly and keep the tire kicker questions out of the conversation.

Price lowered to $17,000.

I like it your vehicle and I like your way of thinking. It's in the right price range for me. The ONLY thing that keeps me from moving is I really want a land cruiser. Stupid I know. GLWS, it looks like a great vehicle.

I wouldn't let that hold you back, especially with this build at that price. I have an LX, love the thing.

Congrats! It would have been sold a long time ago if I had still been looking.

Congratulations to somebody. I was close but trying to hold out for an LC.
