Exterior Overview

Toyota is the world’s best-selling automaker, and it’s fair to say models like this 1999 Land Cruiser are a big reason why. Steadfast reliability, unmatched capability, and a focus on safety and ergonomics are hallmarks of this nameplate. Our 1999 is a special truck, as it is offered with a meager 56k verified and documented miles on the clock. Finished in a fresh coat of Lunar Rock (6X3), this 4×4 is set off by an optional OEM front bumper guard, OEM rainguards and 16″ WEDS adventure alloys. Aside from a few minor imperfections, and a missing lollipop mirror, the body is in good shape, and this terrific truck is fresh off a recent service. Old-school trucks are hard to come by in this condition, let alone with these incredibly low miles.

Interior Overview

The cabin boasts tons of headroom, legroom, and cargo space. Equipped with a desirable third row, it can seat up to eight passengers comfortably. The dashboard lacks any cracking or fading and dual SRS airbags are standard for those riding up front. A freshly installed BOSS audio system boasts Bluetooth functionality, and the automatic climate system below works like a charm and is intuitive to operate. Besides the standard A/C, the J95 also includes optional rear heat to keep the cold away on those brisk mornings. If you prefer more natural ventilation, a sizable electric moonroof is handy, the rear quarter glass butterflies outward, and the standard power windows unfurl with the press of a button. Functional power locks, keyless entry, and power folding side mirrors make daily use even more enjoyable. This eight seater was spec’d with an optional third row. The seats fold away against the d-pillars and the middle row can slide forward creating a massive cargo hold. The seating material is in fine shape and lacks any major rips, stains or tears. The gray and blue cloth is also soft to the touch and remarkably durable. The same material can be found in the door cards, which are in equally good nick. The headliner is clean and it is held tightly to the roof and the carpets have escaped the past 25 years without sustaining major abuse. Even a factory optional air purifier is handy, and as a whole, this cherry cockpit should please just about anyone. There’s even a factory field monitor atop the dash to satisfy outdoorsy types!

Mechanical Overview

The Prado is a tough body on frame beast but rides like a dream. Power comes from the chain-driven 3RZ-FE. Fresh off an oil and filter service, the 2.7L churns to life care of a new 12v battery. A proper tune up was in order, and so one of our trained technicians replaced the water pump, thermostat and flushed in new coolant while they were in there. We also tossed in a new engine air cleaner to keep the 3RZ breathing healthily. The four banger feels healthy and pulls strong throughout the powerband. Torque is fed through a stout automatic gearbox and sent through a selective transfercase. We replaced the front left axle seal to assist the drivetrain, and the FullTime 4WD system feels surefooted. A low-range and center locker can be deployed during beach trips and off-road escapades. It gets up to highway speeds with ease and is a comfortable cruiser if you are keeping it exclusively on the tarmac. It slows down impressively well, thanks to standard ABS, and four wheel disc brakes. New front lower control arms were installed before we aligned the chassis and grip comes from four new Falken tires mounted and balanced at each corner. The new rubber quells road noises, looks mean, and most importantly, it will last for tens for thousands of miles to come!
