Hi all. I bought a 93 LC in March and loved it. BUT - it had some rust issues and I knew I wanted a clean Land Cruiser. I searched for a awhile and tried to find a clean 100 series - but after several test drives I found they lacked the intangible soul of my 93. So the hunt was on for a clean 96 or 97.
Well wouldn't you know a clean one popped up on eBay and I got him to pull the ad 10 hours after posting it. I had Eric Murphy at Camelback Toyota do a comprehensive PPI, ran compression numbers and give it a once over. All checked out well and I had the rust free cruiser shipped out to Virginia. Here is how she sits today in my driveway. Yes it has the magic switch!
I plan on using it as a DD for a year or so and then keeping it as a weekend and camping rig. I will keep close to stock - maybe delete the running boards. I am a happy camper.

Looks like a clean 40th.
