After much deliberation, I’ve decided it is time to sell my 1999 Land Cruiser. I purchased it 5 years ago with the idea of doing a mild build. I’m 59 and raising my girlfriends 3 grandchildren (ages 8-13) and I find I don’t have the time or energy to put into the project (nor the funds to have someone else do the work for me). I bought it with 155,300 miles, it now has 173,700 miles on it.
It spent its first 15 years in Las Vegas and the last 5 here in Colorado. Because of its time in Nevada, the roof has serious paint fade along with some fade below the windows on the drivers side. Even though the Carfax was clean when I bought it, I believe that it might have been involved in a minor accident. Looks like the front bumper cover and reinforcement bar have been replaced but the hood, fenders, and radiator support are still original.
On the inside, I removed the fake wood trim to expose the factory black plastic. I have replaced the sun baked middle and rear seats with much nicer ones. The drivers seat had parts of the damaged leather replaced at some point but now the passengers seat leather is starting to fail. The steering wheel is fair shape but the stitching is starting to separate at the seams. The carpet is in decent shape but has some staining from the previous owner.
Service records are nonexistent prior to my purchase. In the last 5 years the following have been done:
Hood & rear hatch struts replaced.
New timing belt and water pump done by Ehrlich Toyota.
New Koyorad radiator.
New radiator shroud.
New heater T’s.
New Anti-freeze.
New spark plugs.
Oil change every year with Mobil 1 5w-30 and genuine Toyota oil filter.
Replaced the rear hatch lock actuator.
Replaced the 4 outer window sweep moldings
Known repairs needed:
1) Steering rack. I have a brand new genuine Toyota rack (part 44250-60050) I will include with sale.
2) Front bearings repacked or replaced. I will include new Timken inner & outer bearings/races, inner seals, flange gaskets and lock washers.
3) Missing the windshield rivets. I will include the proper rivets along with a rivet gun that should work.
Everything works except the Cassette and CD player. The door actuators are getting weak in hot weather and will eventually need to be replaced.
$5500
