Hello all,
I'm the new owner of a 95 Land Cruiser. Found it locally after looking for a few months. Clean carfax, 105k on the clock, green ext, gray int. I'll post some pics in a few days. It's got the gold emblems which have almost turned back to silver and the brush guard, taillight guard combo that so many folks did back in the late 90's. The paint is a little beat up but the rims are nice and theres no body rust. I've searched the forums for a number of topics and learned alot (I also have a gx470 and use the forums on clublexus) I have a few observations and questions for those who care to read on. Thanks in advance.
Lots of play in the steering (seems like 2" on center)
I've got those clicks from the front when the steering is at full lock. Time to re-pack those birfs.
Stock stereo - sounds like crap. Big suprise. Antenna wont go all the way down - another shocker. Im liking the Scion idea people have been posting about. That plus some stereo speaker replacements. I'll tackle that soon. I prefer the stock look.
Truck came with a tow hitch but I cant find a connector for the lights. I'll keep digging back there. Maybe it was never installed? Im planning on towing a race car on a trailer. All told about 4200 pounds. Yep - I know. It'll be slow.
Mileage is down around 12 although when the gauge shows empty - I can only fill the tank with about 18 gallons. Hmmmm
Leather on the front seats has been sprayed or dyed to look new again. It looks nice but feels kind of "rough" Advice? I threw some lexol on it without much success.
I think she needs shocks. Since I only do ski trips and the occaisional beach run - stockers should be fine. This is my "work" truck - so I cant spend too much on it.
Rear defroster is dead and the seatbelts dont retract very well anymore but those are minor. Otherwise - shes a runner. Looking for another 100k out of her.
