Hello Everyone. FIRST OF ALL THE VIN NUMBER FOR THIS CRUISER IS: BJ41013098. The engine is the Stock 2B Factory engine that was sold with this Land Cruiser in 1981. No adjustments or alterations have been made. This Diesel Cruiser is 100% bone stock from the Factory. The Cruiser is properly Registered and Titled in the State of California. Title is Clear. I have all Receipts of work that I have done to this beautiful BJ41. I am selling my 1981 BJ41 Diesel Toyota Land Cruiser. Just to let you know the COLOR CODE 202 / TOYOTA BLACK is 100% FACTORY for this cruiser and Extremely Rare. The Color Code is posted on the VIN PLATE on the firewall. Toyota never exported Black Land Cruisers. The BJ41 Diesel as you know was only sold in Japan, for the Japan market, and within that market Toyota only produced a handful of Factory Black Cruisers. This one is beautiful. I own another one as well ( Red ) and can tell you that ALL PARTS are available at any time from SPECTER OFF ROAD in Chatsworth, California. www.sor.com . You never have to worry about parts and please note that body, chassis, interior on this cruiser are exactly like the domestic LC's anyway so no worries there either. Just to be clear though,,,,,,,,,PARTS FOR TRANY, TRANSFER, BRAKES, ENGINE, RADIATOR, ALL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE WHEN NEEDED FROM WWW.SOR.COM in Chatsworth, California. The fact that this cruiser gets over 25 miles per gallon makes it a logical daily driver if that is what your looking for. Weekends also for extended mountain trips for camping since fuel mileage is so good. My other BJ is my daily driver. It is nice to be able to actually drive my other cruiser all the time without going broke. Gassers are great but the 2B DIESEL in this cruiser gets wonderful fuel mileage, is extremely rugged, go anywhere and will easily last 500k miles if you take care of it. The engine runs PERFECT. No issues at all with this cruiser. I have just replaced ALL FLUIDS ie: Brake, Radiator, Both front and rear Differentials, Oil, Oil Filter, Trany and Transfer Case Oil,,,,,,,,,All new fluids only have 20 miles on them. The cruiser also just had a Valve Adjustment, New Valve Cover Gasket, New Rear Brakes, New Master Cylinder, New SPECTER OFF ROAD CUSTOM SLIP COVERS, Brand New BFG All Terrain T/A 32 x 11.50 x 15 tires x 5 under Full Warranty, Newly Restored Stock Land Cruiser Steel Wheels ( just Powder Coated less then 20 miles ago ), Brand New Factory Hub Caps, New Headliner from Specter Off Road, New bulbs, Replaced Front Bumper, Recharged Air Conditioner Blows very cold, New Fuel Pump, New Paint touch up, Original Factory Seats were kept since they are so dang rare but covered with New Factory Fitted Gray Seat Slip Covers from Specter Off Road, New Shift Knob, New Brake Master Cylinder and A Brand New Interstate Battery also under full warranty. Please email if you have any questions. I have owned 22 Land Cruisers since 1974. I love my Cruisers and as a collector only buy the best cruisers as I look closely at them before I make a purchase. In my opinion you will be getting not only one the rarest Land Cruisers in the country due to its color code 202 but a Diesel Cruiser that will take you anywhere, anytime and in any terrain. I would drive this cruiser to Alaska and not worry about its performance. The cruiser has No Rust, Engine Runs Perfect and has been maintained by a qualified Diesel Land Cruiser Mechanic since I have owned it. The Transmission ( 4 speed ) and Transfer Case 4 x 4 are both in excellent running condition. The Cruiser does NOT Smoke, starts right up and idles perfectly. The brakes were just changed in the rear and a new Master Cylinder just put in. The Cruiser stops straight and is good to go anywhere. The undercarriage is in wonderful shape also. Solid, straight. Good AC, Good Heater, All systems work. I think I have set the Ebay Reserve fairly based on the condition of the cruiser since I have " Semi-Restored / Refreshed " it. All work has just been done. Less then 20 miles on all the work done. I am NOT giving this diesel away but am hoping to find it a good home, someone that will take good care of it and enjoy driving it both on the backroads and highways. It does NOT go fast so if your looking for speed do not buy this cruiser. It is very happy at around 65 to 70 miles per hour but that is about it. As far as backcountry, Off Road torque? Well, there is nothing better out there. These diesels Toyota Land Cruisers are simply the best in my opinion. They are tough and go forever. I know since I drive my other one full time. Any questions please let me know and I will post them for everyone to see. I will NOT post your email address or name, just your question. Thanks and good luck bidding. I have the name of a few good shipping companies that I have used if anyone needs them. From California where I am to East Coast is about $1000 for outside travel and about $1500 for inside travel transport. I will also post any new info if I think of anything. Please Note: MORE PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. I HAVE DETAILED PICS OF THE WHOLE CRUISER. Anyone who wants to check out the cruiser MUST send a qualified licensed Mobile Tech to my location. I am not able to take the cruiser anywhere. Right now it is covered and NOT being used. THANKS. GLOBALVU3NN3.

As I know this Diesel is in perfect running condition I would still like to get those done and have them up here for your review. Best Regards, GLOBALVU3NN3. On Mar-28-13 at 20:21:43 PDT, seller added the following information: ATTENTION AUCTION BIDDERS: I had a few people ask me about the ENGINE compression numbers. My diesel mechanic just did a COMPRESSION CHECK today and as I thought, the results were extremely good. I have pictures of each cylinder getting tested. Email me if you want to see them. These are the numbers below. There should be no worries on the buyers end regarding the great health and low miles on this original 2B diesel engine. These numbers show an extremely healthy engine, in fact, as good as it gets. CYLINDER # 1 = 480 PSI CYLINDER # 2 = 520 PSI CYLINDER # 3 = 500 PSI CYLINDER # 4 = 490 PSI On Mar-31-13 at 16:47:34 PDT, seller added the following information: Hello again bidders: Wanted to mention that a few people asked for a VIDEO. I made a short one of the engine running. Email me if you want to see it. Will send it along. Thanks, Globalvu3nn3.
