1992 Toyota Land Cruiser 4dr SUV 4WD
I spent my formative years in Papua New
Guinea, where, if you wanted to get
someplace, you drove a Cruiser. Not
much has changed. I visit Hoduras,
Ivory Coast and the "middle east" where
the prominant vehicle is a Toyota
truck. The 4 wheel drive on a Cruiser
can't be compared to much else for the
money (don't insult me by even
mentioning a "Jeep"). My 1992 has been …
a phenomenal performer off-road (or on-
road when it's got a foot of snow on
it). You buy this thing for its
renowned history, dependipility and off-
road performance (or to look like you
know what you doing when you buy an
SUV).
Solid SOB

1991 Toyota Land Cruiser 4dr SUV 4WD
This vehicle will go 500,000 miles and then some. There is no timing belt because the timing is gear driven. (Never need to replace timing belt) They almost never blow a head gasket and the transmissions are Grade A world class hands down bullet proof solid.
I bought mine in January 2015 with 314,000 on it for 1,200 bucks. I put 2 grand into it including a new radiator and new tires a … new windshield and new u-joints. That pretty much got the vehicle in shape for its future with me. I feel very safe in this Land Cruiser and I live in a harsh northern climate with tons of snow and ice. I bet hardly anyone had ever died in this vehicle in a severe crash even without air bags. Don't buy it if you are picky only if you want a great, reliable tank that will never leave you stranded. Thankfully gas is a reasonable price as of right now (9/15) because it will do 10MPG at best and you will need new brake pads in the front at least once every 20,000 miles or so. Also, they seem to be rust resistant for the most part. Mine is 25 years old and it is not rusted out. People think it looks nice.
Still Going after 300K miles

1993 Toyota Land Cruiser 4dr SUV 4WD
I have this 1993 LC from Day One.
I have 304,000 miles on the original engine, transmission, water pump and alternator.
I just changed the starter about 6 months.
Reliabilty = #1.
I have never had any of the electrical issues mentioned about the 1993 Landcruiser.
I have the cloth interior and it still looks excellent after 19 years - that would not be true with the optional leather … interior.
Longivity = change the oil, change transmission fuel, change all the gear oil.
A Great Drive

1991 Toyota Land Cruiser 4dr SUV 4WD
I have owned this since new - after the 1990 NY auto show it was a "must buy" even at $5,000 over the sticker. I bought it with the objective of getting long term reliability, low maintenance and a model shape that would be retained - all have been proven correct and have easily compensated for the high gas consumption (but it takes 87!). The one change I have made and would recommend … (fenderbenders are expensive) is to replace the front bumper assembly with an ARB (not the cheap consmetic junk). Its been a great car, years of family skiing (where the Volvo couldn't go), team rides to soccer tournaments, beach fishing, loading up for college, carting rhodies, trees, lawnmowers etc.
