Basic Description

The legendary 70 series heavy duty Landcruiser came with the 13BT, 4 cylinder turbo charged diesel between 1986 to 1989, a follow-up from the classic 40 series. This truck comes with a 5 speed manual transmission (H55), split case transfer case (1.08/3.05 Marks reduction gears), factory AC (blows cold), electric windows, power door locks, factory PTO, 4.11 differentials, fiberglass removable top, electric mirrors. The truck gets over 19 mpg (US). The color is two-tone black and silver. The truck frame and body are rust free.

This BJ74 has been modified for expedition use, and only the best parts and equipment have been used, Toyota OEM or better quality aftermarket parts from Australia. I have an extensive maintenance history since I acquired it in 2006. Included is the backseat, spare front cab carpeting and Factory Service Manuals (engine and chassis), printed out in two big binders.

A few minor dents, but overall the truck still looks great. The truck looks like a wheeler and could do with a paint job.

I can vouch for this truck, as I've seen it in action a couple of times. It is an amazing machine. Very well thought out with no expense spared. I'm sure the buyer will be very pleased. Good luck with your sale Glenn.
 
Here is pictures of the full spline McNamara gear (with straight cut PTO gear) - it replaces the original transfer input gear - this enlarges the spline contact length on the transfer gear shaft into the split case. Australian aftermarket upgrade. Both McNamara and Marks Gears are in Melbourne, Australia (in fairly close proximity) so I had the Marks gear made up with McNamara gear for the full spline upgrade.

Unless you have time constraints I wouldn't lower the price anymore. It's easily worth what you are asking. Even though more and more 70 Series are coming to market, the really good ones are few and far between.
 
This truck would be a dream of mine. Don't suppose you would consider trade for my 06 Tacoma with some extra $. 100k Km, fully expo'd. Rear elocker/Dual Batt/Front & rear custom bumpers/winch/heat exchanger & water pump/modified roofrack & awning/pinstriping... Many other tasteful upgrades.... Not many vehicles I would even consider trading for.

 
an excellent unit ! very well thought out! It gets better every year!
 
I just checked my spreadsheet that tracks all the money I spent on my truck and shed a few tears. Someone is going to get a screaming deal on this truck!
