go 500,00 to 700,000 Km on the original drivetrains, and over 1 Million kilometers, is not impossible.
This drivetrain has lots of life left in it.
Body & Frame: No serious rust on the frame or body. Very solid. Factory black paint on frame.No noticeable dents on the truck. Paint has some chips, and touch ups. The truck has a 2" aftermarketlift, and 33" tires.
Interior: Seats and carpets are in great original shape, with no noticeable rips, tears, or burns etc.
Defects: This truck is in great shape, and probably has much less in the way of issues, or defects
than a typical 1992 vehicle, but in the interest of clarity, I will list the known defects as I know them,all are quite minor and easy to fix. Almost all parts are the same as regular North American 80 series
trucks so available at wrecking yards, or a Toyota dealer:
- small ding in lower windshield (fixable without windshield replacement)- door limiter arm on drivers door missing
- rear wiper works sporadically - easily fixed- all 4 power windows work, but are slow and sometimes need some assistance- window tint is getting old and has some wear showing and damage in a few places,
so could be removed, and replaced, if wanted.- dash has some cracking in the top/middle. This dash is not sun-baked, and actually in good shape but the truck was broken into, and a GPS that was mounted to the dash was torn away, damaging
the top of the dash. A vinyl repair guy fixed it and it looked great, but after a few years the repaired
part cracked - a new vinyl repair could be done to renew this. Area affected is about 6x4" roughly.
The rest is in very good shape with no cracks or damage.- The AC is basically disconnected. There is no belt to drive that, and it likely needs more than a belt
and a service or upgrade, if AC is important in your area.Location: This truck is located and registered in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and is eligible for legalshort drive, to your home. I can help somewhat with paperwork for the border if you want. Youdon't need a customs broker, just the correct forms filed out in advance, to import it. Vehicles25 years and older are exempt from DOT regulations so can be legally imported. This truck is a
1992 so that makes it 27 years old now.
Story: I am an importer in Vancouver BC, Canada,and have imported and owned over 30 diesel
Land Cruisers, but mostly 40, and 70 series trucks. I have only owned one other 80 series, so am
not an expert on them, but am fairly knowledgeable on diesel land Cruisers. I did not import this
truck, but a friend bought it from another importer, and drove it briefly before selling it to another
friend, who has used it as a daily driver for a few years, hauling his family around the city. So between
its use in Japan, and here in Vancouver, this truck has been a pavement princess! Very little to no
off-road use at all. This truck was offered back to us in need of a little attention. The fuel pump wasjust rebuilt, water pump replaced, and the front drive flanges replaced. Over $3,000.00 has just beenspent servicing this truck, and the work was done by John Voo (ATEB), the top Toyota Diesel
mechanic in Canada.import into the USA, as it is over 25 years old now. It is very road worthy, and capable of a long, or
Cost of these trucks new in Japan was over $50,000, and were never available in North America at any
price. Here is a opportunity to get a very decent one, at a very reasonable price! The next owner of this
unit will not be disappointed. It's a great truck.
A Super Reasonable Buy it Now is set at Only $9,995.00
