Overland Classifieds :: 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser

This stunning 2005 Cruiser has covered just 93,000 miles and was professionally outfitted for overland travel by industry experts Slee Offroad. The current owner went to the company in 2011 for a “no-expense-spared” build-out, which included many specialist parts and accessories designed to enhance the vehicle’s already impressive go-anywhere credentials. Furthermore, this Land Cruiser has been meticulously maintained with a recent brake overhaul at 89,800 miles, a new battery in 2021, timing belt and water pump at 82,200 miles, and has always been garaged when not in use. At $40,000, this is not a cheap rig, but you’d be hard-pressed to find another professionally outfitted example with such low mileage. 

From the Seller:

“The previous owner, a physician and wildlife photographer, purchased [the vehicle] in 2011 and delivered it directly to Slee Offroad for a no-expense-spared build. It was garage-kept and meticulously maintained by his local Toyota dealer. I purchased it from him three years ago (with 73,000 miles) to keep at our vacation home in North Georgia. This is our fourth Toyota Land Cruiser and we have enjoyed using it around the Chattahoochee and Nantahala national forests, as well as several backcountry trips to Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. This rig has been super reliable and capable.”
