1994 Toyota Land Cruiser Description
With two Landcruisers in the driveway, its time for the diesel to find a new home. I’ve been the owner for 5 years and 17,000 miles - taken trips to the snow, Rubicon, Swamp Lake, Death Valley, Utah, and Nevada. It’s been a reliable vehicle and I’ve enjoyed building it up and maintaining it. With the rumbling tracter noise, its an attention grabber. Is able to idle over obstacles when in 4 low.

The "bad"?

- Front seats are ripped. The Spector Off Road covers take care of it.
- Transmission heats up in 3rd gear on sustained hill climbs. This is managed by monitoring temp and downshifting, or trying to stay in 4th.
