Overall good condition, mechanically sound. ABS light is on, not sure if the sensors are dirty or have failed (normal for model). It drives sound, pulls and brakes well. Steering has slight play due to lift but better than most lifted trucks.
Little to no rust on undercarriage (I religiously treated at every oil change). It is a good platform to continue to build out or drive as is.
Exterior:
-Paint is in poor condition. Clearcoat from roof and hood has nearly peeled away. I’ve shown the worst in the photos. I believe it’s nice enough candidate for a repaint (why we haven’t explained below). One small rust bubble forming on passenger A pillar.
Interior:
-Presents well for a 30 year old truck but there are signs of wear. Light cracking in dash, some molding pieces missing on sunroof surround, some wear to drivers seat (see pics), missing rear speaker covers (I should have paid for a professional stereo install!). Couple bulbs out in shift indicator. Pioneer head unit and speakers (system is OK at best). Headliner is in good condition with no sagging. Sunvisors due have some sag. All electrical functions work, even the power antenna.
I’ve done my best to describe the vehicle. I’m more than willing to discuss in more detail. This is my second FZJ80 and I have knowledge to discuss any concerns you may have. Several miscellaneous service parts and original parts will be included, the rear seats are included.
I’m sure Im forgetting something and will update if I find/remember anything.
My wish was to pass this heritage vehicle down to my daughter, for her to driver and appreciate. After 6 months I’m realizing it may not be the best fit for a new beginner driver. Having extras vehicles on our insurance policy isn’t an option right now. I’m more than happy to discuss other reasons to any serious buyer. I can provide my latest mechanics phone number if you want a second opinion on the truck. I understand these are difficult to find and potential buyers will be picky. I’ll do my best to help where I can, but I encourage and expect all potential Land Cruiser buyers to do their due diligence. This is a solid example for the price.
Asking $10,500. Located in Lexington, KY. Willing to drive/deliver a bit for a sale but not for tire kickers just looking.
Thanks for reading, Joe
