Greetings,
I'm considering making the leap into the world of 80 series land cruisers. I'm going to look at this one Saturday morning, thoughts from the experts?
http://corvallis.craigslist.org/cto/5505484996.html
and the original for sale ad on mud.
http://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1993-land-cruiser-clean-in-co.883335/
Primary concerns: no lockers which is a bummer, no real maintenance history (HG or axle services) currently has a CEL which is believed to be for an EGR issue.
Thanks
Mike

1993 Toyota Land Cruiser. I am the third owner and recent work within the last 5,000 miles is as follows:
-New Old Man Emu Lift 2.5"
-New Old Man Emu Steering Stabilizer
-New Old Man Emu Caster Correction Bushings
-New Koyo Radiator (Koyo manufactures radiators for Toyota)
-Rebuilt fan clutch (10k silicone oil)
-New Drive Belts
-New OEM Thermostat
-New Upper and Lower Radiator Hoses
-New Toyota Red Coolant with Distilled Water (A very thorough flush was performed)
-New Synthetic Transmission fluid (Pan was dropped, wiped clean, and reinstalled with a new gasket)
-Complete Power Steering Flush with Synthetic ATF
-New Synthetic Rotella T6 Engine Oil with Napa Gold Oil Filter
-New Oil Pump Seal (OEM Toyota Seal)
-New Front Main Seal (OEM Toyota Seal)
-New Oil Level Sensor Gasket (OEM Toyota Seal)
-New Distributer Cap & Rotor
-New WIX Fuel Filter
-New WIX Air Filter
-New Factory Correct Spark Plugs (Copper NGK)
-New Speedo Gear Gasket (OEM Toyota Seal
-New Direct Replacement Catalytic Converters with new Stainless Steel hardware
-New Goodyear Duratrac Tires 285/75/16
-New Powdercoated Black Factory Land Cruiser Wheels (Wheels were inspected and sandblasted before powdercoating)
-New wipers blades (3)
-New Weathertech Front and Cargo Laser fit Floormats (Black)
-New Sideview Mirrors
-New AVS Vent Shades
-Center Diff Lock Switch Installed
-New Brake Pads & Rotors all the way around
-NO RUST
-Leather is in great shape and was professionally redone a few years ago
-No factory F/R lockers
These vehicles are considered to be the last true Toyota Land Cruisers that were brought to the United States: Solid front and rear axles, overbuilt for world travel, etc. Values range greatly but examples such as this bring higher dollars. Reference Ih8mud.com and eBay for pricing comparison. 212,xxx miles, great compression, no leaks, does not burn any oil, $9,000 would be willing to entertain trades as well or trade plus cash. Trades must be in very good to excellent shape just as my LC. Clean title in hand, and miscellaneous parts will be included with the sale.
