My wife and I bought this Cruiser last year with the intention of driving it forever. It was my wife's daily driver, and as such I needed to know it would be safe, reliable and mechanically sound. The Cruiser was in beautiful shape when we bought it, but I knew it needed some freshening up to be a true daily driver. A few weeks after buying it I took it to renowned Land Cruiser mechanic Georg Esterer at Valley Hybrids in Stockton. Georg went over the truck with a fine tooth comb and replaced, upgraded or fixed everything he could find. All in all I spent $6,000 to bring this truck up to be a quality daily driver. Work performed is listed below. Georg and his crew had the cruiser for a few weeks and literally went through every nut and bolt on the the thing. After getting daily updates, pictures and an ever growing list of parts upgraded and replaced, I finally got the call to come pick it up. The cruiser has been driven over 5k miles since then, every day for the nearly a year, and has not had one single hiccup. Fires right up every time, runs flawlessly, runs cool, shifts smooth. Not one single issue. The steering, handling and ride quality are light years above what it was when I first bought it. Its basically riding on all brand new running gear.

Unfortunately it has come time to sell this awesome rig. With our expanding family we needed the option of third row seating, so a new 4Runner was purchased to take the place of the beloved Cruiser. I really wish I could just keep her, but I just have too many rigs

"The Bad"
I really don't think there is anything bad about this rig! i love the thing! But there are a few items worth noting, a few imperfections if you will. . .

-Paint. The 26 year old "Beige Metallic" is wearing a bit thin in spots. Mostly on the roof and hood, and has a faded patina look to it. I personally don't think it looks bad. Kinda like a dash of grey around the temples, gives her a sophisticated look

-Dings, scratches etc. She has a few. . . Nothing major or serious damage, just a handful of paint chips, dings and little dents in the bumpers. The worst of the lot is along the passenger side rear door, and is visible in the picture. The prior owner had used touch-up paint to cover the chipped paint, and its held up well. . .

So here she is, ready for the next adventure. Whether its camping, 4wheeling, trips to Tahoe for snow season, or Baja for surf, or just back and forth from work and play with you and the fam, or the dog. . . She's ready to go! Call or text to come see her. Located in Penngrove, CA. North Bay Area. About an hour north of San Francisco.

Absolutely one of the best upgrades I've made on this truck. The stock headlights are a joke. You can barely tell they are on unless its pitch black out. The upgraded system from SLCfj62 is light years (pun intended) better. Heavy duty wiring, relays and watertight Bussman fuse enclosure make for a rock solid power system to run the proven Hella H1/H4 lights. The best headlight upgrade out there for these trucks, and no longer available!!

+1 "dash of gray about the temples" LOL.

Awesome rig. GLWS.

 

hehe. Thanks. I wrote that last night at around 1 am... glad im not the only one who thought it was good Craigslist sure as hell isn't appreciating my wit...

Oh and for any of you who might be thinking "who does this asshole think he is charging 15K for that old pile!"
I'm not alone...

Very very cool truck!! GLWS. Just curious....why would the ad keep getting flagged?

 

^ thank you. And dude I don't know!! I posted it 3 separate times with different pics, changed the price, made sure the posting location and zip code all match up etc etc etc... its driving me nuts. There's a thread on Craigslist forum that lets you ask about your flagging, and people (mostly wise-ass comuter geek fucktards from what I can tell) will give you "advice" about why your shit got flagged. I went to post there but then I learned I coudnt post a new topic because ive never posted in the CL forums threads before. so I have to wait a week before I can post a topic. argh. Ive used CL for years, sold all kinds of shit on there, never been flagged before??

 

Lol, that's fucked up man....don't mean to laugh a little but what else can you do. I've sold a ton of stuff too, including 2 cars.....never had a problem. All your trying to do is sell your dam truck!!! Then when you inquire about what the dam problem is you get fucked there too. .....when it rains it pours. Hope it gets figured out. Someone is gonna end up with a very cool truck.

 

Lol! Thanks man. Ya I definitely lost a fight with the internets today!

I'm over it. CL can't have my Land Cruiser! Only cool folks from TW, Ih8mud and ExPo!

Oh, and tell your friends... Cause I could use a little exposure here

 

You got it.

 

It's probably getting flagged because some a-hole out there thinks it's too good to be true lol. Either way I don't imagine this beauty will be for sale for very long, someone will jump on it. You say you have too many rigs, why not sell a different one??? Sell the Tacoma! haha. This cruiser needs to be loved and it sounds like you know how to do it!

 

Beautiful man!!! Gonna be a sad day when you sell this thing I bet

 

.... fucktards



Nice truck!

 

Hot diggity dog! Sweet rig!
My brother had one similar, in blue.
Loved that thing. He hated selling it.
GLWS OP.
