You are bidding on a fantastic 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser that I have owned for the last 8 years. I just finished restoring my 1989 Toyota FJ62 and unfortunately I cannot keep both Land Cruisers. I have two kids in daycare and a two car garage and just can't afford or justify keeping one of my cruisers permanently out of the garage. I hate to see her go but I'm sure someone else will enjoy it more than I am these days. The truck is fully loaded on the interior with leather, sunroof, heated seats, heated mirrors, cruiser control, dual air bags and tinted windows. The cruiser does have third row seats so you have plenty of room for family and friends. I cleaned and conditioned the interior leather on a regular basis with Leatherique (great product even if you don't buy my cruiser). The leather does show some wear in places but check out the pictures to see how clean and well kept the interior is maintained. The carpet and carpet mats have not seen a single shoe print in 8 years due to front/rear Husky Liners. I believe you will agree the interior of the vehicle is in amazing shape. The truck has not been smoked in since I've owned it but there are two small burns in the carpet (one in the far rear cargo area and one near the front driver side carpet). Most people would not notice but just want to be up front about any possible issues with the truck. If I were keeping the truck I could certainly replace the radio since the stock CD/Tape player is finicky on whether or not it wants to play CDs (I know I'm showing my age due to the fact I even own CDs). I just replaced the stereo in my FJ62 and it's so much nicer with satellite, bluetooth, etc...can't believe I haven't replaced the stereo in this cruiser. While we are on the topic of the radio the automatic antenna doesn't automatically retract anymore but it just never bothered me enough to fix. The exterior of this cruiser is in excellent shape as you can see by the pictures. I had the truck fully detailed at least once a year to keep both the exterior and interior in top shape. The cruiser is factory equipped with center and rear locking differentials for added traction off-road (this truck did not see off-road but it did come in handy during a few Dallas ice storms). This cruiser is equipped with a an OME lift, Slee differential drop kit and OME shocks up front. The previous owner did not install the OME rear coils to keep the stance of the cruiser level. I am including the brand-new coils and OME shocks in case the new owner would like to install the rear coils and shocks. You can read about the full lift kit at Slee Off Road and also research on the IH8MUD forum if you would like additional information on Land Cruisers (Ebay no longer allows links in descriptions but you can find both Slee and the forum with a quick Google search). In addition to the lift the cruiser has 18x9 ATS wheels with 325/60R18 Nitto Terra Grappler tires. The set of tires has ~20k miles on them but you can see by the pictures there is plenty of tread left. Due to the size of the tires If you have the wheels cut all the way either direction and hit a bump there is slight rubbing. My first set of Terra Grapplers lasted almost 50k but keep in mind I only put 8k miles per year on the cruiser with no long trips or offroad driving (I know it's a shame I haven used the cruiser for it's intended off road purpose). In 2008 when the vehicle was parked a neighbor backed into the rear quarter panel. The damage was promptly fixed through Toyota of Plano and I've had no issues at all with the work. Please view all of the pictures and let me know if you have any questions. Other than replacing the oxygen sensors I have not had a single issue mechanically with this truck in 8 years. You will notice the truck is freshly detailed but I asked them not to clean anything in the engine compartment so you would see as-is condition. It's a little dusty in the engine compartment but no leaks or issues of any kind that I'm aware of. Below is a list of the major upgrades / maintenance performed on the truck:8/9/05 - New 18X9 ATS Wheels and Nitto Terra Grappler 325/60R18 tires.

Based on a few questions I've received I wanted to add some additional details on the Land Cruiser: Picture 12 - in the picture there appears to be some dirt or a dark mark on the drivers side ceiling of the truck. That is not a burn and was some dirt (looks like drink splatter). I cleaned the area with carpet cleaner and it is almost gone. When it completely dries you may be able to see it slightly but nothing like the picture. If you want a picture of the area after the carpet cleaner just send me a request. Rear seats - for those of you that aren't familiar with these trucks the rear seats fold up and then a strap secures the seat tightly to the grab bar on the ceiling. The velcro fastener that holds the seat firmly to the grab bar has come unstitched on both sides (common with this seat configuration). Essentially this means when you have the seats up there is some side to side movement in the seats especially when you go over large bumps. I normally drive with the seats up and just became used to the noise of the seats bumping around . I'm guessing any upholstery shop could quickly fix this it just wasn't a priority. If you drive with the rear seats down then this doesn't cause any issues. There is a small BB pellet sized paint chip near the rear window on the drivers side. I've maxed out my pictures on the listing but if you want to see this please send me a question including your email address. Paint - I have always kept the truck washed and waxed and feel like the paint is in excellent condition for the age of the truck. I do want to highlight that with any older car there are scratches / door dings that are visible. This is the original paint so just want to make sure that is 100% clear. Long distance driving - I've been asked whether or not I would be comfortable driving this truck across the country. This has been my daily driver for 8 years and it has never left me stranded. I drive around with my 3 year old and 11 month old with no worries about reliability. That being said this is a used truck so I'm not implying there is a warranty just providing my own personal opinion given my experience. I will again reiterate I am more than willing to try and accommodate test drives or local inspections in advance of auction end. Thanks for looking and please let me know if you have any additional questions.
