SOLD
Hi folks
You might have seen this truck before, pre owner is the founder of AutoHomeUS. I purchased it last year and it was stored for me until March 2015.
I just bought this truck for my trip through the USA and Canada. I drove it all the way up from Los Angeles to Alaska and Inuvik. I'm now on my way back south and unfortunately, I have to sell it since I need to go back to Switzerland.
I did about 15'000 Miles so far and had no problems with the Cruiser. The odometer shows 204xxx Miles and counting.
I built a storage/sleeping platform (see pictures) which comes with the truck. I removed the second seats, but they also come with the truck.
The car is registered in Nevada and is located near Pismo Beach CA right now.
UPDATE:
I just went to a Les Schwab shop and the Toyota has now 4 BRAND NEW Toyo M55 Tires, worth of 1300 USD! Price for the truck is still 15'000, but pretty firmed.
Things I did on the truck during my trip:
- New second battery (Interstate deep cycle) at 190xxx miles
- Oil change at 195xx miles
- New brake pads in the rear 195xxx miles
- All three belts replaced 198xxx miles
- It will become fresh oil in the next days
Particulars:
- 1996 FZJ80
- Automatic transmission
- 205xxx miles – I have records back to when this truck was new
- Silver over grey paint
- Grey leather interior in excellent shape
- Cabelas Trail Gear seat cover
- Front Runner aluminium rack
- ARB Awning (I never used it to be honest)
- Aux tank
- Dual battery system
- ARB bullbar
- Kaymar rear bumper with tire carrier swing out (DS) and ladder
- Hannah sliders
- Wagongear tailgate storage
Engine:
- Recent service includes radiator flush and refill, PHH (new)
- Safari snorkel
- This engine has been well maintained since new I have the records
- Has always had synthetic oil since break-in
- Very reliable and makes good power
- Serviced regularly by Mudrak
Electrical:
- Factory electric lockers – front, rear, and center
- LED interior lighting
- Dual Interstate batteries with National Luna battery controller system
- Everything works correctly with zero issues
Fuel System:
- 44 Gallon Long Ranger aux tank
- Factory 25 gallon tank
- Toyota switchable filler tube
- Parallel fuel systems that are switchable from the factory aux tank switch
- System switches on/off tank pump, injector pump feed and fuel gauge

Suspension and tires:

- new brakes and rotors in the front at 190xxx miles
Lighting:
- 2 Hella 9000 (metal) 10” driving lights with 1 Hella 9000 pencil beam center light on bumper with factory dash switches (bulps are not installed, but they're coming with the truck. I never used the lights)
- Upgraded headlights – Sylvannia
The bad:
- Acid damage on rear deck carpet – I put a new carpet over the cargo and passenger area (see pictures)
- Small dents or scratches - this truck has been used, but not abused
- Small crack in the windshield, not in the drivers view (see pictures)
- Windshield washer pump slowly leaks. Replacement comes with the truck (Original Toyota part)
- back-up light in the rear bumper is loose, but still works (see pictures)
- The check engine light sometimes comes on, this is due a O2 sensor. It came on three times during my trip and I always had the code read out by a mechanic and it was always the same code.
- The Hella light in the middle got hit by a stone, the glass is broken (see pictures)
What comes with the truck:
I sell the truck exactly as you can see it on the pictures. This includes
- Front Runner aluminium roof rack
- ARB Touring Awning (I don't know the size of it)
- Cabelas seat cover
- Sleeping/storage platform (throw it away if you don't need it)
- Bumpers, sliders spare wheel etc.
- second seats
- All the records of the truck
- Toyota Repair Manual
- Toyota electrical wiring diagram
- haynes repair manual
- New windshield washer pump (Toyota part)
- A bunch of spare keys
I hope I didn't forget anything..
Payment method: Cash or international bank transfer to my bank account (which I would prefer) No checks please
Trade: I might be willing to trade for a second generation Tacoma 4x4 access cab for my next trip.
Cheers, Neil
