This 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser has been registered in North Carolina since 2001 and is finished in white over beige leather. It is powered by a 4.5-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, and it features a dual-range transfer case, and locking front, center, and rear differentials. Equipment includes an ARB front bumper and brush guard, fog lights, a sunroof, running boards, 16″ alloy wheels, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo. The truck was reportedly acquired by the seller in 2021 from the first owner, and subsequent work has included reupholstering the driver’s seat, repainting the roof and lift gate, and the replacement of the radiator and coolant hoses.
The truck is finished in White (045) with gold pinstripes, and the seller states that the roof and liftgate were repainted under current ownership. Features include fog lights, a sunroof, running boards, an ARB front bumper and brush guard, mud flaps, a receiver hitch, sliding rear quarter windows, and a roof rack. The seller states that the driver’s side of the truck was repainted under prior ownership.
Silver-finished 16″ alloy wheels are wrapped in 275/70 Toyo H/T Open Country tires. Service performed under previous ownership at 163k miles is said to have included resurfacing the front brake rotors, replacing the front and rear brake pads and rear rotors, axle seals and gaskets, and repacking the front wheel bearings.
The cabin features seats upholstered in beige leather along with matching carpets and a two-tone dashboard and door panels. The seller reports that the driver’s seat has been reupholstered. Equipment includes a sunroof, three rows of seats, burled wood dash accents, power-adjustable front seats, cruise control, and a AM/FM stereo with CD and cassette players. The burled wood finish shows areas of delamination, and the elastic on the seatback cargo nets has relaxed.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 130-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, voltage, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 175k miles.
The 4.5-liter 1FZ-FE inline-six was factory rated at 212 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. The seller states that service performed since March 2021 has included an oil change, a coolant exchange, and replacement of the tube seals, oil pump cover gasket, distributor seal, front crank seal, drive belt idler and tensioner pullies, radiator, and coolant hoses including the “pesky” heater hose.
Power is sent to all four wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and front and rear locking differentials. The center differential locks automatically when four-wheel-drive low is engaged. The rear differential and transfer case fluid were changed at 163k miles.
