This one does not need front and rear differential locks because they already lock when you put it in low.
Putting it in low is the same as having the front and rear lockers from the factory, it's a big misconception in the Land Cruiser world. So not having front and rear differential locks is the same as having them.
The seller confirmed that for me like three times, this one must be different than any other one I've seen.
He also said that his 40th anniversary LC locks the front and rear differentials automatically just by putting it in low.
Someone better buy this, it must be magic.

Also, it's never been off road abused. Those ugly white letter mud terrains (horribly worn) attest to that. "Magic" LOL.

Not sure if this would make a good 100 series or not (it does have factory lockers) but these guys are the most dishonest car salesmen I have ever encountered. Called them earlier today and was told it was $9400 has 135,000 miles and one owner. Go check it out 178,000 miles, three owner and they wanted $11,900. Didn't bother test driving, no indication timing belt has been done, leaking trans fluid and oil, cv boots on both sides are leaking. Other than that didn't look too bad but these guys were so dishonest to get me down there I was completely turned off.
 
I would be very Leary of a cruiser from south of the borde. The bed looks very nice but it's not from a 4X series pickup. Not sure how common PTO winches are in later model 40 series down south but I would sure it still has the original T/T. Also not sure the HJ45 was made that late in any market. 2H replaced the H engine and became a HJ47. Very nice truck but for the price I would sure what I was getting. The later engine is a nice upgrade but a non original bed is not. Unless you have more money then you know what to do with I would look at future resale value. Central America is know to have used there pickups hard with questionable repairs.
 
Oh I'm not buying it. I just thought it looked cool :)
 
I think it looks cool too but would think $20K would a price that would be something you would not take a loss later. To command top dollar it should be more then cool. Pictures of what they started with would almost be a must. The frames on these usually have cracked and been repaired. Restored in Costa Rica isn't the same as being done in one of the better shops in the US.
