1992 Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ81

Details

This 1992 Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ81 is a Japanese domestic market example powered by a 4.2L turbodiesel inline six-cylinder engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission sending power to all four wheels. The exterior is painted silver and the interior is trimmed in brown cloth, and the wheels have been upgraded to Rays wheels. This vehicle came from the factory with a sunroof, power windows and locks, an altimeter, and heated seats. Although originally right-hand-drive, it was modified by its current owner to be left-hand-drive, more suitable to US roads. Before being delivered to the U.S, the truck is said to have had a timing belt replacement. The odometer shows 207,000 km (129,000 miles), it has had one previous owner since being imported, and is currently located in Key Biscayne, FL.

The condition of the paint finish is shown up close in the third-party photos and the inspection. The car shows well, with a few scratches consistent with mileage. The interior is in the same condition, with a small hole visible on the passenger seat, and according to the condition report, the climate controls work appropriately; however, the stereo is not functioning correctly. Mechanically, the truck runs and drives as expected. The inspection report rates the vehicles exterior at a 4.8 out of 5 and the interior at a 3.8. Included in the sale is one key and a box of spare parts.

This Toyota is being sold through a CLASSIC.COM Pro and is located in Key Biscayne, FL.

About the model

Toyota offered the 80 Series Land Cruiser in multiple diesel variants, not originally available in the United States. The HDJ80/81 models sported a 4.2-liter turbo diesel engine, while the HZJ80/81 used a 4.2 liter naturally aspirated (non-turbo) engine. The 81 designation in some models denotes that it was a vehicle intended for the Japanese domestic market (JDM).
