HISTORY:
This Land Cruiser was purchased from aPediatrician who resides in Managua, icaragua. He owned it from new and then had it reconditioned (paint: originally brown) and rebuilt the engine, ransmission and t-case at approx. 255,000 KMs. His 17 year-old-son drove it until we purchased it in October 2015. We have paperwork thatcoincides with the above story. This was and is a very well cared for Toyota Land Cruiser BJ70. It's both a rare find in Nicaragua as well as in the U.S.
EXTERIOR:
This body on this Land Cruiser is in fantastic shape. The only major rust is on the lower corner passenger-side door, hich is repairable (see photos). There are some scratches and dings, ut no major imperfections as you can see from the photos. All lights operate as the should and all windows roll up and down. The door locks have been changed to aseparate key set (due to theft prevention inNicaragua) and all emblems have been riveted on as well (also due to theft prevention in Nicaragua).
INTERIOR:
The interior of this BJ70 is in very nice shape. The front 40/60 bench seat was replaced with two bucket seats out of a later model Toyota Prado. All the door panels have been reupholstered to a very nice standard. The floors were also re-covered with a new, EM style, oyota Vinyl cover with "Land Cruiser"embroideredin. The steering wheel has been changed out for a later model 70 Series Land Cruiser replacement, hich looks pretty neat. The headliner is in goodconditionand fully intact. The dash is in good shape as well as the aftermarket stereo that replaced the OEM AM/FM tuner. The center console that was put in between the bucket seats is a bit worn: the top cover does not fully latch down and the hinges are not fully connected. Other than that, he interior is very nice.
CHASSIS:
The Chassis on this Land Cruiser is in great shape. There are very little signs of rust, nd any rust present is minor and only on the surface. There is absolutely no rot or flaking oxidation anywhere.
ENGINE | TRANSMISSION | 4WD:
The 3B engine in this BJ70 starts and runs excellent and is incredibly fuelefficient.Theignitionhas been changed out for aJMC ignition, hich works fine, ut the glow stage is much closer to the start stage than a typical Land Cruiser. There is a very minimal amount of room between "glow" and "start." Due to this being a JMC ignition, manual engine cut off switch was installed. So, o turn the Land Cruiser off, ou must pull the switch. The whole system works flawlessly.
The transmission shifts through all gears with ease including reverse.
The 4WD system is nothing less than amazing. This Land Cruiser will drive through anything. "Hi" and "Lo" gears all shift very smoothly.
This is an incredibly rare Toyota Land Cruiser to see for sale in the U.S.
