I hit a homerun last year when I found this one, I had drove all over the surrounding states around Oklahoma trying to find a Landcruiser and this one my wife found 5 miles from home. It was a 2 owner and the last owner had had is since 45k miles. To top it off it has factory lockers, when I asked if they worked the guy said he didnt even know what the switch did, the only offraoding it had ever did was an occasional gravel drive. When I picked up it had 228k on the odometer and runs like a dream it had a few leaks and the driverside rear window didnt work. He had it marked on the for sale sign for 3500.00 when I called him and asked how much would he take for it,not that I wasn't going to buy it for his asking price he said if I did cash he would take 2500.00,, I about fell over. It was totally stock, I have since added a 4 inch OME lift with 315/75r16, I built the roof rack, and front bumper , I am currently working on a design for a rear bumper. It is a work in progress but I sure do love it.IMG_20180514_072323_254.jpegIMG_20190115_163309_044.jpegIMG_20190211_105328_722.jpeg

I keep thinking about adding a 1 1/2 inch spacer on the front , it is a little lower in the front. But when towing or if it is loaded heavy it is perfect
