Runs and drives excellent, would not hesitate to drive it long distance. Have driven it on a road trip from Bend, OR to Missoula, MT, to Seattle, WA, to Portland, OR with zero issues. It’s predictably slow and rides like a truck is what you have to remember

The only cons are the cracked windshield (Included is a brand new windshield gasket and spare metal frame, just order glass from a Toyota dealer, lots of guys have done it). Also could use a real Toyota carpet/mat kit since I just cobbled one together from speaker carpet, it works good it’s just ugly. Exhaust is homemade and could be much much better. Also it smokes a little when it starts up cold, but has zero smoke with warmed up and cruising around.



Also included are boxes and boxes of spare parts and factory parts that I took off. Spare engine stuff, lots of small parts, interior bits, diesel fuel additives, tons of stuff.



I’ve really loved this cruiser for the five or so years that I’ve owned it. It’s been an incredible, go-anywhere and do-anything rig that helped make many memories in my family. I’ve just lost all interest in overlanding/4-wheeling and could use the money to pay some bills and build something like an MGB or Fiat Spider instead.

Would love to see this get sold in IH8MUD and go to another cruiser enthusiast before I attempt Facebook or Craigslist

$20,000 OBO, located in Redmond, OR. Open to offers.

Cool, we’ve got the arbiter of who’s a “real cruiser person” in the thread.

Anyway, good for the seller that he has such an ardent character witness backing him up.

At the end of the day though, I hope that this posting is flagged for any potential buyers. There’s far too much shady dealing that goes on, especially with JDM rigs.

This has gotten ridiculous. It's clear @MichaelRoamer can't do math, or knows something that he isn't saying. And although a member since 2020, 54.545% of his posts have been in this for sale thread that he has nothing to do with, or even made a constructive comment. @Branwillith is a real cruiser person, has a build thread and contributes to this funny community. Check out his postings.

@MichaelRoamer if you wanted this truck when it was listed you should have bought it. If you still want it shoot @Branwillith a message and strike a deal. If not, what is your point. Really, the price being asked in the FB listing isn't bad at all for what the truck is, regardless of what he bought it for, and that is not knowing what has been done since his purchase. Knowing what he has done to his other cruisers, it would be a safe bet that he has made improvements that would benefit a potential buyer.

I have no skin in the game, just traded quite a few emails and PMs to both owners of this truck. I would consider both of them to be the best type of person one could buy a cruiser from.

I don't know what the actual selling price was (nor do I care). The asking price that is listed in the FB post is not unreasonable at all, yet it is still an asking price. It may or may not sell for the ASKING price, it could sell for much less. Who knows. But if you are not an interested buyer take your argument else where.

Im entirely comfortable being the only person who takes issue with someone buying a vehicle off mud for 15k, doing literally nothing to it, and then shortly thereafter relisting it for 60% more elsewhere. If the majority of mud echoes the sentiment expressed here then so be it. It's all good, you-do-you, it just isn't the way I operate.

I locked this thread. Everyone STFU. I don’t give a sh1t, and neither should anyone else. Also I don’t remember telling ANYONE how much I sold it for so all the price/profit speculation can stop too.
