Hi All,
A combination of a number of various circumstances has made it necessary to part ways with my 1995 LC. I know you guys like details, so here's what I have off the top of my head. Apologies for the incompleteness.
1995 Forest Green w/ 201,680 miles.
Always serviced by Land Cruiser Specialists in Austin, TX. Work done includes front and rear brakes, new radiator, front axle work (birfs etc. I believe), AC fixed up nice, and probably some other odds and ends.
I've driven it to Big Bend and back, to Corpus Christi and a bunch of places in between, and never had any issues. It's been a pretty darn solid truck. All electronics work, no interior leaks, AC blows cold, and shifts and drives smooth. However, in the last year it developed a coolant leak somewhere that seems up high, as it hisses and steams from center high on the engine and rains down below. Here's a link to the thread with images and a video.
I never got around to fixing it, then COVID kicked off, so it's been sitting idle since March. I don't have the time or skills to fix it and my wife has decided that it's time to reduce the number of toys (LC, 2 x motorcycles and a 1971 Chevy Nova) so we can get a more modern SUV for the family. Unfortunately, as much as I love this truck, I just can't part ways with the Nova, so the LC and motos have to go.
Aside from what I've mentioned above, the LC has some cosmetic issues as would be expected. Here's a link to some pics of outside and inside. I still have the jump seats in storage.
I'd like to get your thoughts on what a fair price might be for selling as-is?
Thanks!

How bad is this coolant leak and where might it be coming from?
Hi all, I've got a nasty coolant leak but I'm not exactly sure of the cause or where it's coming from. It sounds (loud hissing) like it's coming from inside the area circled in the image below. Below that is a YouTube video of what's happening down below. Any thoughts on what might be the...
