Your Interior photos look real nice, but we also want to see the nuts and bolts stuff too, you know, what's the body, engine, and underside look like.
 
Nice looking rig! I am guessing it sat a lot from the lower pictures. I would check the birfs, make sure your diffs have what they need and inspect your brakes. If it sat too long you will want to work the brake calipers in and out as sitting vehicles can get a little rust and brakefluid build up on the pistons and make the brakes stick.

Good find and its nice to see one that well preserved

Oh don't fix the rack remove it completely. it isn't good and you need to fill in those holes anyway.
 
Are the birfs rusty or is that just dirt. Never seen a rusty birf and guess it is just dirt but had to find something to pick on. Nice looking Land Cruiser...well almost a land cruiser.
 
Definitely fill in the holes and delete the roof rack. It is notorious for rust to develop there.
 
I live right down the road from tandem automotive and i had them do a complete inspection on it. Birf do have surface rust, but were in great shape. Alex/pablo told me there were hard pressed to find anything wrong with it. The ebreak wires and gizmos on the rear axle are seized up. But there getting fixed tomorrow. The rear has surface rust and scaling but. Ill be taking care of that little by little..
 
I had the phh replaced and multiple lines above the transmission. But ill certainly keep plugging away on those hoses
 
Heater hoses look to be original. Put those hoses and other cooling system components high on your base lining repairs list.
Your right, those heater hoses still have the factory cotter pin hose clamps.

Did they check the knuckle grease level? From were I'm sitting, looks low or close to empty, should be ~1/2-3/4 full.

Not a solid indication, they could have been replaced, I have done it the factory way.
 
My PO did the HG on mine by a Toyota dealership and all hoses were swapped with factory stuff.
