3x Locked 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser – Extremely Well-Maintained & Heavily Upgraded

Runs perfectly. Zero rust. 264k miles. Meticulous ownership with extensive recent maintenance and top-tier upgrades.

This 80-series has been babied and constantly improved. I invested over $40,000 in parts and service alone in the last 3 years to make it as reliable, capable, and comfortable as possible. Everything major has been addressed proactively.

Major Recent Mechanical Work
  • Full timing chain service, new head gasket, fuel injectors, spark plugs, and distributor
  • Complete cooling system refresh: Koyorad radiator, Aisin water pump, Aisin fan clutch, new fan, thermostat, hoses, and new coolant
  • Nitro 4.88 regear, front/rear diff rebuilds, and knuckle rebuilds
  • Tom Woods front & rear double cardan drive shafts
  • New brake master cylinder, EBC rotors/pads, extended brake lines, and full brake bleed
  • Fresh steering box, pitman arm, tie rods, tie rod ends, and alignment work
  • Transmission flush, power steering flush, and all fluids serviced regularly. Trans shifts smooth and solid.
  • Multiple engine oil changes with high-quality 10W-40, fuel filter, air filter, and all new belts
  • AC runs perfectly cold all day. Heater also blows hot. Tested AC, no leaks. Rear heater bypass installed.
  • All electrical components work: windows, sunroof, lights, horn. New switches and interior lights. New headlights and horns.
  • Differentials all lock and function properly. 4 Wheel Low and High performance flawlessly. Diff fluids changed recently as well.
  • New Muffler and titanium pipe wrap. Quiet and smooth.
  • Solve Function hood risers installed, improving engine bay airflow and reducing engine temps 10 degrees.
  • No engine leaks, no diff grind or roar, no gear shift slippage, no birfield clicks.
Suspension & Off-Road Upgrades
  • Dobinsons springs (146/147 VT) and Dobinsons IMS 4-5” shocks giving 3.5" lift and even stance/rake.
  • Delta 3L radius arms + Dobinsons bushings
  • Whiteline front & rear beefy sway bars with drop links/brackets. Stabilizes the ride amazingly.
  • Ironman adjustable panhard bars front/rear + Delta 3” rear panhard relocation bracket
  • Metal Tech upper and lower rear adjustable links
  • Falken RT01 38x13.5x17 tires - quiet on road, capable off road, aggressive sidewall
  • SCS F5 wheels in Gunmetal Gray with -38mm offset for perfect poke
  • Extended diff breathers and SS braided brake lines
  • No tire-wheel well contact at full lock or articulation. Tracks straight down the road, handles road and trail bumps excellently.
Body, Interior & Comfort Upgrades
  • Coastal Off-road High Clearance front bumper
  • Dissent Off-road Extreme High Clearance rear bumper
  • All three rows reupholstered with real genuine leather from L Seat
  • New thick and plush carpet, deep blue contrasts with tan leather seats
  • Full sound deadening - made the ride feel luxury car premium
  • Rosen visors, new door panels, classy wooden steering wheel, and more
  • New headliner cleaning, weather stripping, exterior window visors, and sunroof drain cleaning
  • Fenders have new trim molding and hardware for proper seating and no rattle
  • Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro LED pods on front bumper - super crazy bright
  • Fresh grille, emblems, hood and hatch struts, tailgate storage hatch, and more cosmetic/detailing work
  • Fluid Film coated frame + full undercarriage clean, seal, and recoat. Zero rust.
This Land Cruiser has been maintained with an obsessive attention to detail — many items were replaced preventively well before failure. It drives tight, quiet, and strong with no known issues. It is garage-kept and rarely driven (during my ownership).

Serious buyers only. No deals. No trades. Feel free to ask any questions or request more photos.

Do you still have the Gen 3 Tundra ? debating continuing my build or finding another platform given Toyota's ignoring the Hybrid's in their recall.... first time I'm considering anything other then a Toyota for a truck/rig......
 
the hood body line is raised. Is this because of the hood risers for temp control?

Yes, it has Solve Function Hood Risers. Supposedly lowers engine/engine bay temps ~10 degrees.

I did this as preventative. This vehicle doesn't have overheating issues. Collant temp gauage runs just below mid level.

No, I sold it after building it out too. It ran well but I who knows what'll happen with their hybrids longterm. The LC80's inline-6 is a tank. My family still owns the 1998 T-100. Basically, all original with just oil changes and light maintenance. Has over 360k miles and is driven everyday. The 90s was Toyota's golden age.
