Highlights
- Iconic classic Land Cruiser platform; highly restoration-friendly.
- Huge variation by year/market; verify fitment carefully.
- Restoration projects often need steering, brakes, seals, and electrical refresh.
Common issues
- Steering knuckle/axle seals and bearings wear/leak over time.
- Brake hydraulics (calipers/wheel cylinders, lines, master) often need rebuild/replace.
- Rust repair and body mounts are common on older trucks.
- Cooling system hoses and radiator condition are critical on older builds.
What to replace first
Start with safety and reliability: brakes, steering, suspension wear items, cooling hoses, belts, and any fluid leaks. After that, address known model-specific weak points.
