Approximately 225,000 miles with a professional engine rebuild at approximately 175,000 miles from a shop in Salt Lake City, Utah. Mainly a Texas truck with a short stint in Utah until I brought her east in 2020. Over the past 5 years I have put around 7,000 miles on her and never over salted roads. Barring one area by the front driver mud flap (see pics) she is corrosion free. Undercarriage has typical surface rust, but no known corrosion.
Starts and runs excellent. I was having some electrical issues when the gauge cluster was blowing its fuze, but that seems fixed with a new alternator. I still have the original alternator that I sent off for a rebuild and will include with the sale. I replaced her starter with a OEM rebuild as well 3 years back. All fluids (diff, trans, engine etc…) have been replaced and maintained with full synthetic AMSOIL. Coolant has always been the red Toyota coolant spec’d for these cruisers.
KO BFG Tires with 80% wear remaining.
I did remove her carpet with the intention to replace it; however, I simply have not had time, but will include the carpet kit with purchase if not installed by time of purchase. Pictures show the floor pans condition and absence of corrosion/rust.
Everything is stock except the radio and noted alternator.
Known issues:
Bought her with the intention of never selling and restoring her completely, but I realize that I do not have the time or resources needed to do it properly and hate seeing her sit as much as she does. Thanks for looking.
Asking $16,500. Thanks for looking

Known issues:
- As mentioned above, I was having electrical issues that seem to have been fixed. I tested the previous alternator and was only getting 12V at the battery when running. With the replaced alternator I am getting 13.9 volts
- There does seem to be some parasitic drag on her battery as it will die if she isn’t started ran every 1-2 weeks. It’s been that way since I owned her and has never been a problem for me. I never bothered to locate it as I typically drove her once a week
- The AC Blows, but is not cold as it needs to be converted over which I have not done.
- All windows work, but I will typically only roll the back ones down halfway to prevent from getting stuck.
- Drivers seat upholstery could use replacing/cover
- Cosmetically, there are a few dents and some faded clear coat areas, but I have left as I prefer the character it brings.
- Some missing chrome trim pieces on roof and passenger side.
