Built this triple-locked ‘97 Land Cruiser for my wife and I to travel in. We have been all over North and Central America with almost zero issues and had the time of our lives. This is a ready-to-go overlander, and it will come with all accessories and a few bits of gear that are built-to-fit. I bought the car stock and still have all the original parts, if someone wants to restore it and take it back to a stock 40th. I was going to have it repainted and keep it, but I have the opportunity to buy something else that I’ve always wanted so why not pass it on to someone else to use it the way it should be. The interior is VERY clean and mechanically it is in good shape. I think it has a lot of adventuring left in it.
Purchased 6/2020 in GA with ~230k, 266k currently
Have over $35k in it total
Inspected by LC specialist in GA before purchase
I bought it bone stock and have every stock part except for suspension. Nothing has been drilled or cut, and the cruiser could be brought back to stock at any time.

- Service Manual got stuck to leather on passenger seat, left a black mark
- Clearcoat is fading badly on the hood, roof, flares
- Missing rear passenger fender flare (lost somewhere in Baja)
- Horn does not work (broken pin)
- Stock radio coming with it doesn’t work well & motorized antenna stuck where it is
To anyone who is actually interested - as the ad says, I'm trying to move this and use the money to get into something else currently for sale. So time being a factor, I am definitely willing to negotiate a little with anyone who has cash and is ready to buy now.
