I like old Toyota SUV's and I cannot lie...
This 1996 Landcruiser is a "small" birthday present to myself as I have always loved 80's and have wanted one for awhile. I actually went and checked out this one for a buddy of mine a couple years ago. He ended up buying it and having a go at the initial round of "catch up maintenance" with @OTRAMM (is this the truck you used for your head gasket video on youtube?) @ Invoice 10936 - 9/5/2018 - 245,408 miles.
Since then, not much else as my friend just was not sure what he wanted to do with it. Ended up parking it.
I hadn't stopped thinking about the truck, especially after looking around online for one. I had dreams of cleaning her up and giving her the love she deserves. So here we are. I (and my wallet) am the clam and this is Pearl...
Not too much else to be said. She was a single owner truck bought new down the street from me at Springfield Toyota. That family drove it and got it inspected every year like clockwork from 1996 to 2017. Otherwise, not much else to go on other than Ryan's head rebuild, front crank seal/oil pump and brake booster work. Gotta get her to the baseline and onward from there!
