This 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser is a Collectors Edition example finished in Dark Emerald Pearl over Taupe leather and is powered by a 4.5-liter inline-six linked with a four-speed automatic transmission, a two-speed transfer case, and three locking differentials. The truck was sold new in Virginia, where it has remained registered through its acquisition by the seller in October 2020. Factory equipment includes a glass sunroof, third-row seating, sliding cargo area windows, and 16″ alloy wheels, while modifications consist of an ARB front bumper, a Warn winch, a 3″ Old Man Emu suspension lift kit, and a Sony head unit.
The truck is finished in Dark Emerald Pearl and features Collectors Edition badging and gray belt-line trim. Additional exterior equipment includes an ARB front bumper with a 12k-pound Warn VR Evo winch, a receiver hitch, a power glass sunroof, a rear window wiper, sliding cargo-area windows, running boards, and roof rails with cross bars. The Carfax report lists an accident with another vehicle resulting in damage to the left front of the truck in June 2006. The seller reports that the rear bumper was repainted, and the receiver hitch and side rails were repainted to address corrosion. The antenna and mirror stabilizers were replaced in February 2021.
Silver-finished 16″ alloy wheels are mounted with 305/70 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A K02 tires, and the truck is equipped with a 3″ Old Man Emu HD lift kit. The brake booster, parking brake, and U-Joint were replaced in 2019, and the front stabilizer bar as well as the front and rear brake pads were replaced in 2020.
The cabin features three rows of seats upholstered in Taupe leather (LB42) with matching door panel inserts joined by a contrasting dashboard, center console, and carpets. Amenities include automatic climate control, cruise control, a Sony AM/FM/CD cassette stereo, and power-adjustable front seats. Wear is visible on the seating surfaces, and the seller notes that the knob controlling the driver’s seatback and sunroof surround trim are missing. The ignition cylinder was reportedly replaced in June 2021, and the rear hatch must be unlocked using the door-lock controls.
The airbag steering steering wheel shows wear and frames a 130-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 5,200-rpm redline, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 278k miles.
The 4.5-liter 1FZ-FE inline-six was rated at 212 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque when new. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale, and service since 2017 has included replacement of the following items:
Power is delivered to all four wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and three locking differentials. The exhaust muffler was replaced in 2017, and replacement exhaust hangers were installed in 2020.
