I realize this might end up being one of my biggest regrets in life but the time has come to sell our 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser.

To just call it a Land Cruiser or 80 series doesn’t at all do it justice. It’s been our adventure mobile, weekend getaway, cabin in the wood, shelter from the storm, gateway to the unknown and pretty much a family member. (Am I going to far here?) You get it. Let’s just talk truck.

We’ve had this for about 7 years now and by the records I’ve seen we’re the 3rd owners. It came from Colorado and we got it in stock form with 176,xxx miles (I think)

We’re asking $14,000. If this is too high make me an offer. If it’s to low buy it and get a crazy deal.
We believe this is an amazing ready to go overland rig.
Thanks all.

If it helps you at all there is a very similar 80 series for sale in the Vancouver area for about $2000 USD less. No drawers but an ARB twin compressor and sliders so I would call it a push in terms of value. That particular truck has sat on craigslist for over a month so you might be slightly too high (I don't think by a whole lot).

All that said, I loved flipping through your photos. It was a real walk down memory lane and my own trips into the Arctic (both the Dempster and the Dalton).
