Details

This right-hand-drive 1990 Toyota Land Cruiser J81 VX is a Japanese domestic market example that was imported in June 2022 with 73,478 km (45,657 miles) and has been driven just over 7,000 km since. It is powered by a 4.2L Turbo Diesel I6 (1HD-T)matted to a four-speed automatic transmission that drives all four wheels. The vehicle currently shows 80,735 km on the odometer. Finished in white with a gray-striped cloth interior, it rides on 16 steel wheels dressed with BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain A/T tires. Features include full-time four-wheel-drive, adjustable ride control, sunroof, overhead console with compass and altimeter, air conditioning, and gray carpeted Land Cruiser floor mats. Additional equipment includes an aftermarket roof rack, satellite and Bluetooth radio, and an undercoating installed in 2022. The vehicle is located in Pennsylvania.

This Land Cruiser was imported through Virgina in 2022 and given a refresh at that time. Work included rust repair to the right quarter panel and the quarter window trim on both sides of the vehicle. Additionally, the brakes and lights were replaced, the engine and air conditioning were repaired, and confirmed through the inspection that they're in good working order. The vehicle received a new Bluetooth/satellite radio, undercoating, and full detail. The inspection shows a scratch to the front passenger door and minor scratches to the paint and wheels that would be expected given the age of the vehicle. The interior is clean and shows minimal wear. Included with the sale are documents from the import dealer, repair receipts, and the installed roof rack.

This Land Cruiser J81 VX is being sold through a CLASSIC.COM Pro and is located in Mechanicsville, PA.

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 inline six-cylinder engine, while the HZJ80/81 used a 4.2 liter naturally aspirated (non-turbo) engine. The 81 designation found in some models denotes that it was a vehicle intended for the Japanese domestic market (JDM).
