OVERLAND LANDCRUISER COLORADO

1998 Toyota Land Cruiser Colorado 3L Diesel Manual 153k Miles – Overland-Ready, Beautifully Maintained Example

After a six-month search to find the perfect Land Cruiser Colorado, this was the one — and it still is. A rare, rot-free, low-owner example with a full service history and thousands spent on upgrades. The only reason it’s up for sale? Boring house improvements!

This vehicle has had just 1 previous owner, comes with comprehensive service history. It’s been dry stored in my lock-up, and everything from the awnings to the roof tent has been properly dried and maintained after each use.

This isn’t just a modified 4×4 — it’s a thoughtfully built, ready-to-go expedition setup with premium parts throughout. Yes, there are a few light scratches and a very shallow dent in the driver’s door, but the white paintwork cleans up beautifully, and it still looks fantastic overall.

Drive away today and head straight for the mountains, coast, or wherever your next trip takes you. The last two pictures show the underside after its been treated with Lanoguard .
