I have been looking for a landcruiser the past few months as I plan to get rid of my built 17 Tacoma because I hate taking a brand new truck off road. What are the opinions on this rig?

"1. Cosmetically no issues. Mechanically the car sat in front of a mechanics shop for like a year i think and thats where I bought it. The engine was running but the headers needed to be repaired. We repaired the headers, the compressor, water pump, new gaskets etc. The car used to have an overheating problem which we fixed. We fixed most of it personally with occasional visits to a shop for diagnostics advice. I need to replace the injectors on the car which is causing it to miss fire a little bit. The parts came in two weeks ago and I've been on travel so as soon as I get back this Thursday I will look to find someone to fix them. I have a quote from a traveling mechanic for 200 to replace the injectors. Other than that the ABS light is on but i really dont care much about that it's a minor fix. The tires will need to be replaced probably 6+ months from now. The discovery tires that I want are $250 a pop so about $1250. That all I can think of for immediate issues that would need attention. Give me a call if you can and I can probably provide more details. Thanks !"
I am new to landcruisers and don't have too much knowledge about them, sounds like this truck has had a lot of home mechanic work done on it to get it running. Is this a red flag for someone looking for a truck that is a reliable off road vehicle? I plan to use my secondary car as a daily driver and I am looking for a 80 series for 90% off road use and maybe 10% on road use in snow storms and such.
