***I’m taking it off the market as I just found out I don’t have to sell to accomplish our goal!!

Its with mixed feeling I’m listing our Troopy for sale. After coming back from Honduras with nothing and loosing our 9yrs life savings to a bad deal we are faced with starting over. My bride and kids deserve a home of their own and if selling helps provide a hefty down payment then it’s worth it.
SO...selling our ‘91 Toyota Land Cruiser Troop Carrier. This was our truck in Honduras that we used on our coffee farm in the mountains and we drove it from Honduras to Texas Oct. of 2017. It has a 1HZ non-turbo and a 4speed. It is LHD. No a/c, heat or power steering. This was originally a HND military Troop Carrier and then sold to the HND forestry dept and then auctioned off to a missionary, then another missionary and another and then me! The motor and tranny were rebuilt by the po in HND and I have all the receipts. They did use only OEM parts in the rebuild and I’ve since drove it without issue. It has all 4 jump seats in the rear and one is pulled out just for space. There is rust in the driver rear quarter panel from a leaky window a few years back and other spots I’m sure, but this seems the worst. The paint is horrid as it was probably a dusty street job in HND. She’s our tank and we drove her from TX to Ouray, CO this year to SAS2 and she was at Jambo. She’s not a beauty queen, but she freaking awesome. I’m selling with my original split rims and they are new with less than 3k miles on them. I put a new Dobinsons rear bumper with dual swing out on it Sept. of ‘17. I put a new Pioneer head in it in ‘17. In Mexico I had the springs disasembled, rearched and had leaves added all the way around giving it a 3.5” lift. I built in ‘17 a rack that almost spans the roof that only weights 120lbs and that’s less than the ARB version that’s smaller. I’ve had the rack loaded down for a 2k mile journey to here from HND without issue. The rack also has tie downs on it. The driver front axle seal is in need of repair as it started leaking after 9hrs in the trails of Ouray.
I’ve got some extra stuff I’m going to add to the sale, some seats, etc. I’ll post up details soon. There are MANY MUD members that have seen and wheeled with me that can tell you about her.
I’m asking $32,000 OBO. I DO NOT need to sell her, but for a truly reasonable offer I will. I can show you her, do videos, take pics of specific areas or whatever. Just let me know. She’s registered in Texas.
Us leaving Honduras.
