I’ve read a lot of builds over the years and have decided to make one of my own. I’ve owned a few land cruisers over the years and sold built 80 a couple years ago that was built out. I’ve regretted it every since. So for the next build I wanted to get a 40th anniversary to be a collector.
I purchased a new to me 40th Anniversary a couple of weeks ago and have been working on it on and off for the last couple weeks making some progress.
Vehicle Details. 1997 40th Anniversary 250K Miles. Non-Locked
Paid a premium for her but it had the HG repaired and engine upgraded by Toyota 5K miles ago. The Transmission was overhauled and synchros rebuilt 2 years ago as well. Interior and exterior are in great shape. I flew to PHX to pick it up and the AC was struggling unless under a load. A quick trip to Toyota to evacuate the system, pressure test and refill had the AC working great for he 6.5 hour drive from PHX to ABQ. I could not have bought from a more meticulous person. It the cruiser needed he took care of it. Thanks a lot J!
