I have for sale a Black 1991 HDJ81 VX Limited Toyota Landcruiser with a 4.2 liter 1HD-T turbo diesel. It's a Japanese Domestic Market vehicle that was imported from Japan summer 2020. It has an official WA state title. Odometer reads 143,000 kilometres (88,000 original miles) I've owned the vehicle since Sept 2020, during which time I've driven it about 6,000 miles. Blizzak snow tires at 80% tread. Gets around 23mpg on the highway.
Vehicle has just about every option for the year. Front/center/rear differential locks, factory electric winch, fridge, cruise control, A/C, rear heater, seat heaters, electric folding mirrors, factory fog lights, headlight cleaners, overhead altimeter and compass, etc. Everything now works after various troubleshooting and repair.
Over the last year I've put around $4000 in parts and around 200 hours of labor into it. I have around $3700 worth of receipts. The list of repair/maintenance work done includes:
-changed rear differential oil,
-changed front diff oil,
-changed transfer case oil,
-drained and refilled transmission fluid 2 times replacing a total of 11 - quarts,
-replaced ATF cooler hoses,

-lubed front/rear prop shafts,
-replaced all coolant hoses( radiator, all front/rear heater hoses(11),
several turbo coolant hoses),
-flushed cooling system from multiple points while replacing hoses,
-refilled cooling system with Toyota red coolant,
-installed new OEM thermostat,
-drained power steering reservoir and refilled,
-changed engine oil/filter twice (most recently at 141k),

-replaced accessory belts,
-replaced cooling fan clutch with new OEM unit,
-replaced fuel filter,
-replaced fuel filter mount assembly/primer pump,
-replaced all under hood fuel lines,
-replaced all 6 glow plugs,
-adjusted valve clearances,
-replaced valve cover gasket,
-replaced oil feed pipe and return hose for turbo,
-cleaned injection pump/injectors with LiquiMoli diesel purge,
-replaced exterior lower window seals on both rear doors,
-replaced brake light switch,
-replaced vehicle speed sensor(for cruise control),
-replaced one of the starting batteries with a platinum AGM from Oreilly's.
List of improvements includes: ARB front bull bar, Front/Rear Dobinsons 2" progressive rate lift springs, Delta V.S. rear 2" lift bracket for lateral track bar, Man a Fre 2" front radius arm drop brackets, custom CV front drive shaft, rear Bilstein 5100 shocks, Kenwood front speakers, Double din touch screen stereo, back up camera, outside temperature sensor.
I've done some rust repair on lower firewall and rear of left rocker panel, which are a couple typical trouble areas for the 80 series. It still has a bit of rust at bottom of left rearmost side window frame that should eventually be addressed. Not very visible currently. Very small dimple below left mirror. Finish of alloy wheels is starting to flake in some areas. Factory adjustable shocks were worn, replaced with standard shocks.
