Details
This right-hand drive Japanese domestic market 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ81 is powered by a 4.2L turbo-charged inline-six-cylinder diesel engine that drives power to all four or just the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The truck is the recipient of a frame-off restoration by Land Cruiser Restorations LLC in Kansas, which was commissioned by the current owner between 2019 and 2023. During this process, the truck was painted in the current shade of gray. It has also been given black Classic S vinyl seat covers. Features include cruise control, which is not currently operational, a sunroof, a factory-mounted winch, a forward-mounted mirror, and Firestone Destination X/T tires. The truck is located in Dumfries, VA.
The third-party photos and inspection show a clean exterior with only minor scratches on the front of the SUV. The truck's interior does show wear in several places, which is documented in the photos. The center console and shifter show their age as well. The seat covers are in good condition, as are the carpets; there are no floor mats included. Mechanically, there are a few items that need repair. The A/C and heater are not operable due to a non-functioning control panel. As well, the cruise control isn’t working, and the right rear power window is slow to roll down. The underside of the Cruiser is in dry condition and has been painted black. The test drive reveals a well-running and driving example of an HDJ81. Included in the sale are 1 key and a tool kit, along with a set of mud flaps that are not currently installed.
This Toyota Land Cruiser is being sold through a CLASSIC.COM Pro and is located in Dumfries, VA.

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