Default Re: 91' Land Cruiser - considering - any issues?

I can tell you the 4 liter I6 is a slug off the line (0-60 in 17ish ticks) but is extremely reliable and a torque monster. Expect terrible gas mileage (~11mpg city). If your buying the LC as a trail rig or alike, then my friend, you are going the right direction. With dual solid axles and a locking center diff (some models have rear and rear+front options), some very excellent wheel travel, and high ground clearance, this rig is a very comfy Land Bruiser.

But its the price that makes me think twice. There not very cheap, I think you should pick at it and try to find some defects first. That or the owner is a race monster who thinks the old LC is broken cuz it cant go fast.

A mod I would do is have an upholestry shop make a 10" high armrest that can be glued to the center console lid. I've driven many, and most of them dont have this mod and it just makes it feel uncomfortable without an armrest.

My 0.02 cents..
