1987 Toyota Land Cruiser Diesel

1987 Toyota Land Cruiser LX 73 Description

THIS NICE 1987 TOYOTA LX73 LAND CRUISER IS FITTED WITH THE 2LT 2.4 LITER TURBO DIESEL MOTOR THAT STARTS WITH THE FIRST TURN OF THE STARTER MOTOR. IT HAS A MANUAL 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION. BOTH TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH WORK AS THEY SHOULD. IT RIDES ON NEW BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN TA KO2 TIRES. THE SPARE IS ALSO NEW AS IS THE SPARE COVER. I HAVE INSTALLED TWO NEW BATTERIES FOR THE 24 VOLT SYSTEM. A NEW STEREO WITH CD PLAYER HAS BEEN INSTALLED. THE EXHAUST FROM THE DOWN PIPE BACK HAS BEEN REPLACED . BRAKES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. IT WILL EASILY CRUISE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND WILL GET CLOSE TO 30 MPG.

IT IS FITTED WITH THE FRP TOP (FIBERGLASS REINFORCED PLASTIC) WHICH IS REMOVABLE AND THE WINDSHIELD FOLDS DOWN. IT HAS HAD A REPAINT AT SOME TIME WHICH IS AVERAGE AT BEST BUT PRESENTABLE. THERE ARE A FEW RUST SPOTS THAT HAVE BEEN COVERED UP. ONE ON THE PASSENGER DOOR AND REAR ROCKER CORNER. THE WHOLE UNDERCARRIAGE HAS BEEN TREATED ANNUALLY BY IT PREVIOUS EUROPEAN OWNER TO PROTECT IT FROM THE ELEMENTS. THE OIL AND FUEL FILTERS HAVE RECENTLY BEEN CHANGED. WAS TOLD IN WRITING THAT THE TIMING BELT WAS CHANGED IN DEC OF 2014.

THE DRIVERS SEAT HAS SOME WEAR AND BOTH FRONT SEATS HAVE COVERS ON THEM. THERE IS NO REAR SEAT. THE TEMP AND OIL GAUGES DIDN’T WORK WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND STILL DON’T BUT HAVE DRIVEN IT ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT ALL IS WELL. THE MOTOR RUNS SMOOTH BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS MORE VIBRATION AT IDLE THAN NORMAL. THINKING IT MAY BE THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE WEARING. ONCE YOU GET GOING THINGS ARE NORMAL. IVE NEVER DRIVEN ANOTHER ONE OF THESE SO IT MIGHT JUST BE THE WAY THEY ARE.

I HAVE OWNED THIS CRUISER FOR ABUT TWO YEARS NOW AND HAVE MADE THE ABOVE IMPROVEMENTS. IT IS AN INTERESTING AND FUN VEHICLE. TIME TO SELL SOME TOYS. I BELIEVE I HAVE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED THE VEHICLE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL FOR HONEST ANSWERS.
