We have just returned from a fairly epic trip during which we drove our Land Cruiser 21000 miles from the UK to Nepal . The truck has now been shipped back to the UK, has just flown through it's MoT (just a bulb and wiper), and we now unfortunately need to move it on, as we no longer have a use for a vehicle of this calibre.
We bought the truck 2 years ago and it has served us incredibly well - we only really had to deal with fairly minor issues during the trip.
The vehicle is a 1992 Toyota Land Cruiser 80 (1-HDT) VX, 12 Valve with manual transmission and circa 187000 miles on the clock. It has had a huge amount of preparatory work done including:
2.5" suspension lift
2" body lift
Snorkel
Winch and winch bar
Axle breathers routed along the snorkel
Expedition roof rack
Custom shelving unit in the boot including a Weaco CF50 Fridge/Freezer
We are also selling it with our Eazi Awn roof tent, which I believe is the 1.4m version.
Other than a few cosmetic scratches the vehicle is in great condition. There was previously evidence of rust in the wheel arches and on the tailgate door which we had professional cut out and weld repaired (we have photos of the process if interested). The underside has been treated with a stone chip guard and the chassis is good condition with no major rust, following a thorough inspection during which we recently had two minor weld repairs carried out on the rear axle.
A couple of bad points to note:
- Whilst the vehicle is fitted with a leisure battery and 12V sockets, unfortunately the 240V converter stopped working and we got rid of this late in the trip. It will be sold with the plug and associated cabling in situ / capped so it should be a fairly easy install if you want to replace this.
- Someone in India, near the end of our trip, decided it would be a good idea to scratch a star on to the bonnet.
- Digital engine thermometer stopped working 4 or so months ago. The dashboard thermometer appears to be working fine.
- There are a couple of small tears in the drivers side seat and the pockets in the front and rear doors on the same side are coming away slightly.
- There's a rip in the ceiling lining above the backseats - the result of a stray ice axe.
- The roof tent suffered a bit of a beating in Pakistan whilst traversing a very sketchy road half way up a cliff. The frame has been repaired and it is perfectly operable but if you look carefully you can tell there was some damage sustained.
- The tyres are fairly worn and will need replacing before a big trip.
The vehicle will be sold with 5 seats (front and back). The additional third row of seats are in storage at a friends place and can be recovered if required.
We are asking for £10,000 for the whole set up, but are open to reasonable offers.
The vehicle is currently in Cornwall but will be available to view in the Bristol / Bath area from 11th June.
Happy to forward more photos on request.
Any questions and I shall do my best to answer.
Cheers
Alex
