The three-spoke steering wheel frames an inoperable 6k-rpm tachometer and a 200-km/h speedometer with a mechanical odometer showing 4 kilometers (~2 miles). The windshield wipers do not stop in their lowered position, and the driver-side window and windshield show blemishes. A Pioneer stereo replaces the standard unit, and this example is equipped with an aftermarket air conditioning system that leaks refrigerant. Work performed over the last two years included repainting and removing corrosion from the floors as well as installing cab seals to address water leaks. The interior features a pair of bucket seats trimmed in tan vinyl with a darker dashboard and carpeting. Both sides of the bed were coated with a body-colored liner according to the seller. The suspension is raised approximately 2″ using Old Man Emu components, and work carried out by the seller included replacing the shocks, outer bearings and seals, dust shields, brake shoes, brake adjusters, brake drums, and the emergency brake cables. Silver 17″ six-spoke “snowflake” wheels were mounted with 285/70 Thunderer Trac Grip mud-terrain tires approximately 500 miles ago according to the seller, and a full-size spare is mounted underneath the bed. A thread documenting the build was provided by the seller. The seller notes evidence that the truck incurred damage to the passenger-side front and shows rough metalwork and a misaligned hood. Paint drips and runs are visible in the finish. Additional work included installing replacement front and rear bumpers, taillamps, and LED headlights. The truck is finished in blue and was fitted with an FJ79 pickup bed reportedly sourced new from Toyota. This 70-series pickup is offered with importation documents and a clean Kansas title in the seller’s name. Additional work is said to have consisted of replacing the pickup bed and mounting 17″ Toyota “snowflake” wheels as well as rebuilding the replacement engine and transmission and installing replacement stainless steel exhaust components, drivetrain seals, tie rod ends, shocks, a rear axle carrier, a rear bumper, and taillamps.

A subsequent refurbishment included installing a US-specification fuel-injected 4.5-liter 1FZ inline-six and an H151 five-speed manual transmission. This 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser is a left-hand-drive example that was imported from Venezuela to the US under previous ownership and acquired by the seller in May 2019.
