Up for sale is my DAILY DRIVEN 80 series LX450 Landcruiser. Yes, I drive this truck 500 miles a week with no hiccups. Selling because I have found another vehicle I want.
This is absolutely one of the cleanest 80 series land cruisers out there.
Asking SOLD
Here is a list of details
- 254,000 miles and counting
- Front, Center, and Rear lockers fully operational
- Center diff lock switch
- OME Heavy front coils with Tough Dog shocks
- OME Medium Rear coils with OME shocks
- PHH, all little hoses replaced
- Wit's End Blue Fan Clutch Mod
- Seats and windows are fully functional
- 100 series fan mod
- Metaltech sliders
- No leaks
- New rear U Joints
- ARB Front Bumper
- Dark window tint
- All lights swapped with LED (not head lights or dash lights)
- Working factory key fob and alarm
- 285-75R 16 BFG All Terrains
- Ebay Snorkel
- Pioneer head unit with backup camera and hands free calling with bluetooth
- New Trailer Wiring
- FAT Maintenance history included in a binder full of receipts and notes from previous owner.
- No rust
The cons:
The valve stem seals are worn therefore causing the truck to burn oil (about a quart every 1000 miles). When the truck sits, oil leaks into the valves through the worn
seals. When you start it, oil burns off immediately. I have been daily driving it for the last 10,000 miles like this and have full confidence that it is fine and can wait to be cured. I have opinion's from local mechanics that agree. This is very common for these trucks. Besides this the front knuckles have just started to seep a little. These are the ONLY negatives about this truck.
Runs highway speeds at optimal temps of 185-190, eating no coolant.
