1988 Toyota Land Cruiser

Have you seen one of these before?  A 1988 right-hand drive Toyota Land Cruiser.  This one just arrived from Japan and is now in Los Angeles.

While I am not a Land Cruiser expert, I believe this is a 70 Series, BJ74, which is the two-door model with a removable hard top.

This Land Cruiser appeared in good condition and included an aftermarket aluminum roof rack with a Tepui Roof Top Tent, can you say, let's go on a safari?  And take a look at the depth of that front bumper.  Can you imagine standing there as fresh bait for lions as you cross the plains of Africa?

Right-hand drive and manual transmission.  The interior was in good condition and still had the OEM Japanese language labeling.

The engine in this 1988 Land Cruiser is a 4 cylinder turbo diesel, which nets out about 30 miles per gallon.  Very clean engine bay.  A second battery provides as an extra backup or maybe as extra power in case you want to do some welding while on the trail.

Extra large front bumper actually provides enough space for two standing riders, should you dare.  And a winch tucked underneath that cover.

This Land Cruiser model also sports a fold down windshield for taking in the most from your adventures.

Overall, a great looking rig and probably a lot fun to drive from the right side front seat.  You can check out Cross Country Cruisers, looks like they can help you find more of these types of rigs from around the world.
