The Land Cruiser was bought new at Scottsdale Toyota and was kept in North Scottsdale, AZ and was never taken off the pavement. The second owner, also from the Scottsdale area, bought it is 2003 with 30,000 miles on it, as a 3rd vehicle and was used sparingly but taken on forest service roads and real light 4x4-ing. The Land Cruiser was maintained by the same local dealer and their Sr. Tech through the first two owners for which I have all the receipts. I am the third owner and I purchased it in 2014 with 68,000 miles on it.
I built the truck to get me to the Arctic Ocean so I could put my hand in the water, for no other reason than “It was something I had to do.” I lived out of it for 3 months, close to 16,000 miles driven an additional 3,000 miles on the Maritime Highway and I also did about 1,000 miles by bush plane to places I couldn’t take the truck… I completed the trip back in 2015 (July thru October) and have mostly kept it stored (driven about 10,000 miles in last 2 ½ years) thinking I would do a similar trip or two which has never really come together so I have decided to sell it.
All work and maintenance, which has been done to the truck since I bought it, was performed either at Slee Offroad (Original build they did all the work) in Golden CO. or at Pedersen Toyota in Ft. Collins, CO. where I live by the Lead Mechanic who is a devoted Land Cruiser guy. I also have all service records/history dating back through the original owner.
I have kept up on maintenance as needed and/or recommended by the mechanic at Peterson’s and just had it into Peterson’s within the last couple months for a complete inspection and some maintenance which included a complete driveline service, Clean/Repack Front Axle, Bearings (Trunion Repack), all driveline fluids (Differentials), Mobil 1 5W30 Oil change, new muffler, fixed a P401 code (EGR) valve assy. and valve vacuum switch. The Land Cruiser passed the emissions test we have here in Ft. Collins.
The truck has never been in any accidents, has no rust, and has no mechanical issues.
What is worth mentioning is:
1) The windshield has cracks from a rock hit (in PHOTOS LINK)in the lower drivers side corner but the cracks have never propagated to a point where I would want to change it.
2) Drivers side mirror is loose in the mirror housing.
3) Drivers side rear passenger door lock is not always locking/unlocking with electric lock/unlock.
4) Small dent from the awning on the passenger (front) door (in PHOTOS LINK).
5) There are a few random small dents, which are in the Photos LINK
I have tried to state everything relevant and also document everything in the pictures, including all the things going with it. There is also a series of pictures, IN THE ABOVE LINK, to show how the wheels work for those who don’t know about the (DOT Legal) Rock Monster Wheels.
