Thought I would add a little more detail and a few more picture to my 80 advertisement.
Toyota Landcruiser 80 Series expedition prepared.
24 valve 5 speed manual 4.2 turbo diesel 188000 miles on the clock, UK spec all diff locks working. If you want an expedition vehicle to get you there and back then this is the one.
Just returned from a 3 month West Africa trip, also been up into the artic with it couple of years ago proven vehicle and well maintained. I've owned the vehicle for the last 4 years and in that time I have upgraded and added the following.
Aluminium clam shell roof top tent (tufftrek) with roll out side awning.
Rails can be added to the roof tent to carry extra gear solar panels canoes etc up to 75kg can be carried I think.
Sortimo drawer system all securely bolted down through the floor and also attached to mesh cargo barrier no movement even over the roughest ground. Rear cargo area all painted with underseal and rubber matting glued down before fitting drawer system on top.
3 drawers on the left side extend 1 metre one on the right extends 1.2 metres with fridge slide above all with heavy duty 150kg slides. Two 90 amp Bosch leisure batteries connected to a sterling battery to battery split charge system ensures starter batteries are completely isolated from leisure batteries and that leisure batteries are kept topped up and in good condition.
180 watt solar charging system with Victron mppt smart 100/20 solar charge controller.
Fuse panel and switches.
Mesh cargo barrier.
Rear luggage shelf attached to mesh cargo barrier and bolted down.
150 litre long range fuel tank underneath rear with aluminium guard sits where spare tyre used to be.
5 BF Goodrich A/T KO2 tyres, spare wheel on swing away rear wheel carrier. Factory steel wheels.
Heavy duty rear steel bumper with spare wheel and jerry can holder mounted on swing out arms, heavy duty hinges with grease nipples also carries high lift jack.
2 inch suspension lift with EFS Elite heavy duty shocks and springs. Rear springs with a rated constant load rate of 600kg front 200kgs so no sag even fully loaded. This is a top rated suspension kit shipped in from Australia.
New rear diff lock, centre and front diff locks reconditioned and all in perfect order.
Rear/front diff and gearbox oil, engine oil and filter, fuel filter all changed this week. Serviced every 5000 miles since I've owned it with top quality oil.
Brand new oil sump old one had a hairline crack to the rear so changed it before my trip.
Engine runs fantastic timing belt and water pump changed at 176000.
Gear change is smooth up and down the box.
New brake callipers and pads all round.
Hand brake not fantastic though.
Dynamat sound insulation in front foot wells and over rear wheel arches.
Snorkel fitted.
Some scratches on body work as would be expected on a vehicle that has recently been to Mali, guinea, Senegal, Mauritania, Western Sahara, morocco etc.
Vehicle is set up with two front seats only, I've also removed all carpets as they had seen better days. If you know these vehicles or are interested in Overland travel then you will know these vehicles are getting difficult to find in good condition and prices seem to vary if I counted up all I have put into the vehicle I am sure it would owe me 12 grand or more not counting the hard work and time it took. If you think just of the top of my head base vehicle £4500 tyres £800 suspension £900 rear difflock £400 that's before you put on rear bumper electric system, solar system, batteries roof tent etc. I think my price of £8000 for the complete vehicle or £6000 without the roof tent is a fair one if anything a little low.
It is ready for its next adventure.
Any questions let me know.
