Black 98 Land Cruiser, 160k miles

My buddy Tom (with the crew cab taco that came last Saturday with us) is looking at this for his girlfriend. He said something with the lockers is messed up but they might need a cleaning or possible replacement. Is this price on point? Anything he should be weary of? I'm not super familiar with these 100 series trucks.

For sale?

For sale?

I don't think so, but he could probably answer most questions anout what to look for before purchasing.

Slee has a 100 series buyers guide on their website that's a good start.

98-99 had the OEM rear elocker along with the center diff lock. Not sure what the issue is but lots of time the elocker actuator just doesn't engage because of lack of use and might take some extra persuasion engaging for the first time in awhile.

That particular example looks pretty beat. There are plenty of nice early MY 100s out there for sub-10k.

Friend of mine just sent me a link. It will be interesting to follow this and see how it develops.

I saw people mentioning it back around the 2015 SEMA show and have been on their mailing list. It sounds like they’re finally getting close to releasing it.

I think Fred put one in a HEEP on the Web show "Dirt every Day". And drove it under water.

I’m not sure if that was one of the crate Cummins or not. You can see a picture of it here: Cummins-Repowered Jeep Starts on First Try – And Then Drives Straight Into Pond

Somewhat hard to tell compared to the fully dressed one here: Repower - Brand New Consumer Crate Engines - Cummins Engines

They refer to the crate engines in the first article, but don’t specifically say that the one in the Jeep is one of the crate models and they refer to it as a 2.8ISF elsewhere.

@fireball and @shmukster isnt there a website for ordering parts for the imported diesels? I have a 92 diesel on my lift and I need to order a few engine parts.

I bet Onur can get them.

Just a reminder for everyone. Check and greas your u joints. It's easier and less expensive then replacing them.

interesting but slick needs to do a good bit more fact checking, and proof reading.
the 40 does not have anything to do with engine size....

Deadman: the world's most versatile off-road recovery anchor

Saw this in one of the FJ groups. Seems like it could be decent depending on its price point.
