Hi all,
I posted this as SOLD a couple months back because my brother-in-law wanted it and in short, has decided to forego in lieu of something more family friendly.

Priced to sell now, no low-ballers please.


Previous Post:

I've owned this vehicle for 11 years now and it's served our family very well completing cross country road trips both on and off road with mostly mild wheeling in between.

Mileage: 247,000


Modifications:

OEM Triple Locked
ARB Deluxe Bull Bar
Warn XD 9000 Winch
Odyssey Xtreme Battery (Brand New)
ARB Diff Breather Extensions FR/RR Axles
Safari Snorkel
Slee Stainless Steel Extended Brake Lines
DBA 4000 Series Rotors FR/RR with OEM Toyota pads
OME Heavy Coils/ Steering Stabilizer with Icon Vehicle Dynamics Shocks and Adjustable Rear Panhard Rod
Metal Tech 1.5” Spacer Plates FR
Tom Wood Double Cardan Driveshaft
Metal Tech Sliders
5 x 285 Toyo Open Country MT with 90% Tread
2.2kw Denso HD Starter Replacement
Blue Fan Clutch
PFran LED Interior Lights/ Reverse Lights
Speski Rear Cargo Barrier
Specter Canvas Seat Covers FR with Armrest cover
New DS Lower Seat Foam
All new window runs
Weather Tech Floor mats
Land Rover Cup Holder
Wits End Center Console Lock Box

I have since removed the Hella lights up front, ARB Compressor, and Yakima load bars as I will be re-purposing these on the new truck.


INCLUDED:
6th Stock LX spare wheel/ BFG KO tire, original drive shaft, and third row seats


Maintenance:

Head Gasket Replaced @ 215K miles by ACC
- All hoses were replaced at this time as well as the addition of a new radiator
- New intake plenum, PHH, High pressure PS hose
- New Oil Pan Arch Seal
- FYI the head gasket blew originally @ about 178K miles while I was deployed and in my opinion now was repaired by a shop that suffice it to say may have been in over their head.

Front Axle Rebuild @ 215K miles by ACC
- L inner axle seal I fear is letting loose as it’s starting to weep a little since the truck is not being daily driven now. VERY SLOW leak.

All fluids have been changed at recommended intervals using Mobil 1 Synthetic oil and Lucas gear oil


The BAD:
- Brake discs are warped, not bad but enough on a DD to make me want to replace if I kept it as a DD. I have brand new OEM toyota discs that come with the truck.
- Paint is in generally good condition (7.5/10 I would say), hood was beginning to fade so I Plastidipped the center portion. Some people hate this but it is what it is. Some minor scratches but NO RUST
- Antenna mast like on many 80 Series doesn’t work. I never got around to replacing the motor and eventually the antenna snapped off in the woods
- Rear Locker is inoperable currently. I was an idiot when I first got the truck and cut the exhaust off behind the muffler. It burned through the wiring and I had it rewired by ACC, but I think since it went so long without being used it’s merely stuck



Having owned the vehicle for 10 years I may be forgetting small details. All questions will be answered and any pic requests honored.

Subspd, I don’t understand why you haven’t purchased this rig if you are a serious buyer... It’s right near you and a hell of a deal.

I’m in DC not GA 12 hours away from me. I have asked my brother to take a look but he is swamped with work. But I agree. Nice looking truck I’m hoping we can work out a deal on this one next week!

What is there to take a look at and is your brother and expert on LC80's? I would at least put a deposit down on this one.
I personally would have no issue buying sight unseen for this rig and just might.

No disrespect... but it’s alwyas easier to spend other people’s money.
 
Originally bought as a one owner truck from family friends in Texas where it spent it's first 10 years - Completely stock soccer mom vehicle.
It was in Colorado for the next 4 years. Since then it has remained back in the South.

If rust is a concern there is NO rust on this truck as mentioned I think in the first post minus what you see in the pictures.

How are the window guides? All power windows work as they should? Power antenna? Cold Ac? You have a PM. Thanks!
 
Glad to see the truck is generating some good conversation. Not gonna lie, saw a post recently with a truck that had a few upgrades more than mine and a few less miles (land cruiser miles) listed for $14k more and it had me scratching my head. This truck is in great shape for a 22yo DD.

This truck is priced to sell, I hate haggling and life is too busy trying to make money off you people.

All PM's replied to in order. I'll call those today who have PM'ed ( is that even a thing anymore?).
 
SOLD to ATXFJ80 pending final transfer of funds.
