I've been trying to buy this rig for a couple of years. Finally got the PO to an agreeable price, so now I have a 95 Landcruiser and a new to me LX450.
The PO told me that he bought it from
Andy Williams, the singer, theatre owner in Branson, MO and of "Moon River" fame. His wife mostly drove it. I really have no way to confirm that but it's kinda cool trivia. I even have the original window sticker!
Overall, it's in good shape, low miles (158k), some regular maintenance has been performed but needs more.
First thing to show its ugly head was after a 180 mile round trip, I noticed a bunch of tranny fluid all over the bottom of the rig. I had the fluid replaced but have yet to get it out on the highway to really heat things up, so I still don't know if that was it but it handle daily trips around town just fine...
Not being someone that waits to make mods, I started looking here on mud in the classifieds. I spotted an ad placed by "Mikesta" and noticed he was only 3+ hours away and he had parts that I was looking for. So, texts were swapped and prices were agreed on, I then found myself rolling out to Humansville, Mo to pick up a Slee short bus bumper with Warn 9.5XP with in cab controls and switch. I also got his used springs, shocks, wheels and tires.
First to go on was the bumper!
Installing with the tractor sure made it an easy job!
