1981 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ42 Canadian diesel fj40

Up for sale is my North American spec Canadian diesel Toyota Land Cruiser Bj42. Like the fj40 only this one has a 3B diesel 4 cylinder engine. This is not a crappy Costa Rican rig! (Those have no heaters, dash, etc) It has a 4 speed manual transmission. The odometer shows 243,xxx Kms which is roughly 151,000 miles. This is nothing for these little diesels that run a million miles or more. I purchased this rig along with another as a package deal and unfortunately I can’t afford to keep both. It was painted camo when I received it and I couldn’t stand it. So I cleaned it up, did some lite abraiding with scotch pad and sprayed it blue. All of the previous patches were done by the previous owner. Yes the tub has some rust in it. There looksTo be some fiberglass and or bondo in it. It is something with a little tlc you can drive and work on as you go along. It has a nice Kayline soft top. Pretty good shape for its age. Rare to find them in this condition. Tires have good tread on them. It has a warn winch on the front of it and I have not tried to see if it works. It does have two new batteries on it. The truck fires up first time every time as long as you heat up the glow plugs. Runs great. It will drive down the road and go through all 4 gears. The four wheel drive works as it should. I do have a clean clear title for it. I have not changed any of the fluids so I would swap those out on the precautionary side. Here is the things I do know: the brakes are very spongy and need work. I replaced one of the rear brake lines because it was cracked. That said I didn’t have anyone to help me bleed them. That needs to be done. It needs an exhaust. The clutch slave cylinder leaks. Needs replacement. Needs one fuel tank strap. I secured it with ratchet strap. The edic motor does not work. Most of the time it is a ground issue which means take it off, clean the ground, and presto. The edic is what shuts the truck off. I just put it in 3rd gear and pop the clutch or get out and push the valve. Either way it shuts it off. I have driven this around in the parking lot and that’s it. No you can’t fly in and drive it home, or at least I don’t think you shouldn’t. Buy it and you can do whatever you wish. I have done crazier things. I will assist anyway I can on shipping from Glasgow KY 42141 but shipping is your responsibility. Local pickup is always nice.
