Hi,

I can't blame you guys and gals for being skeptical of me posting this truck with such a low post count. The truth is, I only have time for one forum in my life and so far that has been ih8mud which I am sure some of you are familiar with. I have spent roughly 2 years building up this truck only to realize I have yet to go on one, single "expedition". I just don't see it in my future. So, I am going to sell her... Get a Toyota Highlander and a dirtbike and be done with it... for now :roost:

I can take as many pictures as you would like. I am hiding nothing. Feel free to have your local cruiser head come and check it out. My phone number is 617 314 1231 and the name is Peter. Feel free to call.
For sale now that the job situation has stabilized

Truck: 1997[/COLOR] Toyota Landcruiser
Mileage: 115,000-ish
Location: Austin, TX

This truck is a 1997 Toyota Landcruiser FZJ 80 with factory front and rear locking differentials. The standard package on the 1997 FZJ 80 Landcruiser includes ABS brakes, tinted glass, intermittent wipers front and rear, cruiser control, power windows/locks, auto off headlamps & rear defrost.

The options that are included on this truck are: leather seating, power titl/sliding moonroof, aluminum wheels, front/rear locking differentials, VIP security system and lastly, floor mats.

All of the parts & maintenance that are listed below have been completed in the last year or less. The cooling, brake and air conditioning work was all completed in April.

As you can see, there were no shortcuts taken and no expense spared when building up this truck as a very competent expedition and wheeling truck. The body is straight as an arrow and there is no rust.

It has been offroad only a handful of times.

Man, what's up with all the 80's getting sold recently?

To give Peepers some cred, I have watched the build over on Mud and a lot of time and attention went into this ride. I'd love to buy it, but then what point would my 62 serve?

Good luck with the sale!

Peepers -
Every time I see your truck I wonder what could have been if we had found each other sooner...don't tell my cruiser I said that though!

Sold my Tacoma to a happy customer, I hope you find yours.
