***All this truck needs to be a daily driver is a battery. I am selling this truck below what most other Cruisers sell in wrecked condition. This one is not wrecked, and it runs very well, along with a lift, tires and recently serviced axles. Sale price ends July 31, 2012.***
$3,500 - MUST go by the end of 7/31/2012, or the price gets raised to $5,000 which will include a battery and a non-leaky power steering system.
For sale is my beloved Cruiser, a 1993 that I bought in completely stock condition.
Partial trades welcome for the following items:

1993 Toyota Land Cruiser:
217K miles, White with gray lower trim
Pros:
- 2.5" Lift, 2" front coil spacers - best type, made of welded steel, bolted to housing. This is similar in construction to Metal Tech's welded spacers that sell for about $120 a pair.
- Newer 315 (35") tires, with full-size spare (about 10,000 miles left on it - worn)
- Custom front/rear bumpers
- Custom tube sliders
- All seats included
- Air conditioning WORKS
- Never overheated, no matter the ambient temperature
- Front axle fully serviced with new seals and bearings and one newer Birfield joint - with spare included
- Front winch. Harbor Freight 8,000# "Chicago" brand. Power cable burned up when at SnT last year, may still work - but I am not certain. Have it checked using a battery separate from the Land Cruiser's installed battery.
- Aussie locker (install thread referenced above)
- Will travel unlimited miles - safely there to wheel - and safely back for daily driving. I always loved 80-series Land Cruisers because of this. I have a family of five children, so seating comfort and vehicle reliability were always paramount.
- Previous owner claims that the head gasket was serviced, but I have no evidence to support this, except that it never overheats, regardless of conditions or length of time at idle.
- 100-series brake pads with about 15K miles on them
- I have always used synthetic engine oil.
Cons:
- Power steering hose leak - replaced one hose (the most expensive one that is a U-shape), another requires replacement. Fluid level drops about once a month. I bought a rebuilt pump (one that Beno [Onur] from American Toyota rebuilt), but that was not the problem; it was a leaky hose to begin with, now there is another leaky hose. I will include the pump so that you will not need to ever buy one.
- Rear window (driver side) needs new track - mechanism keeps falling out of the slider, it is necessary to remove the panel each time it falls out...which is usually when fully opening the window.
- The fuel door and fuel door locking mechanism will need to be replaced. I had to pry it open one day when it would not release the fuel door, which broke that plastic release tab.
- I repaired a crack in the intake plenum, repair is holding, but the plenum should be replaced. Air is not leaking in or out as it was before, so I consider it a temporary repair that has been holding for the last year, at least.
This has served me very well as my daily driver, except that gas became too expensive for us. I have owned three Land Cruisers over the course of six years, and this one is the best of them all - even better than the 1966 40-series my father and I built.
If I have to repair anything listed above beyond putting a new battery in it, then I will complete the repairs and sell it for $6,000 firm -- closer to what these are worth with the build it has. Without repairs, I am selling it for $3,500, and buyer is responsible for all, including smog (which it passed last year; registration is not due until September, 2012).
I am a true fan of Land Cruisers and of the community; many people on IH8MUD.com know me personally, and I do have a good feedback score in the Classifieds section, having bought and sold a few Land Cruisers and associated parts herein. Having said that, I will not abandon or avoid the buyer, and will continue to assist with my knowledge of any of the quirks associated with Land Cruisers in general or this one specifically. I know these machines well enough, but I also have digital copies of the FSM (Factory Service Manual) available to the buyer.
I can verify the above statements with references, if needed; alternatively, one only needs to perform a search on IH8MUD.com for my user name in the Classifieds, 80-Series Technical and Chat sections.
I recently had two 'Mud members stop by and test-drive and visually inspect this Cruiser; he can either validate or contradict the claims made above, if he is so inclined.
Thank you for looking.
