  Now on to the truck:

1997 Toyota Land Cruiser. 4WD. 4x4 with center diff lock only.  Desert Dune with beige/oak leather interior.  California since new.   ZERO rust.   Look at all the photos.  Clean CarFax. no accidents. 3 owners in inland California.

This is a very. very example of an extremely well kept and 100% stock Land Cruiser.  Was purchased new right here in California.  Very rare to find an 80 Series in this well cared for condition.  Yes it has 202k miles but very well cared for and it shows.

4. 5 Liter fuel injected straight 6. automatic full-time 4x4 (4WD) with low range and factory center diff lock.  Moonroof. 3rd row seats. running boards. etc.

It runs. drives. brakes and shifts perfectly and is a pleasure to drive.  Shifts into 4 low super smoothly. center diff lock engages quickly and ABS turns off.

Being this well kept most EVERYTHING works on this cruiser.  The power windows work great.  Both power seats works work perfectly. the power mirrors. power button. 2nd gear start button. nbsp;moonroof etc.   Lightbulbs for the"D" lights and "OD" light are burned out.  All original glass all the way around.  Cold AC. wipers/washers work great and correctly. No issues to mention of any kind.

-oil change. filter and full lube on all drive shaft joints

-valve cover gasket

-new brakes front & rear

The exterior is in awesome condition.  100% original paint looking great with a few character dings and very small scratches here and there noted in the photos. though much. much less than most cruisers of this vintage. Hard to see but very fine small pits in the paint on the hood in a small section.  Very hard to see and I think I am the only one who notices them.  Please look closely at the photos I tried to zero in on any blemishes.   The original jack and tool kit are present.  All original VIN stickers are present showing all original body panels. hood. rear hatch etc.  Doesn't leak any oil.  All original Toyota glass all the way around.  A few chips in the original windshield noted in the photos.

The interior is in fantastic original condition.   All original seats. carpet. leather. and Collectors Edition floor mats.  The leather seats are original. soft and supple with no tears.  The dash controls. the dash plastics. the console. the gear shifts. the carpet. the steering wheel. the headliner are very nice or perfect.  No funny smells.  Never smoked in.  Original stereo works and sounds good.  Power antenna isn't functioning. Key less entry.

Overall this Cruiser is very much above for this vintage.  One of the very best body styles and solid front axle.  One of the last 80's produced with a 10/97 production date.  Really appears to have been street and highway driven with no evidence of off-road use.  It's ready to go!
