1999 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, RZJ90

s close by and within arm’s reach. Controls for the simple to use autoclimate control system are intuitive and cold A/C and piping hot heat. Above, a touchscreen Alpine headunit can be utilized to supplement your drive with some tunes, and it includes Bluetooth hands-free tech. The seats are in good nick and trimmed in a blue and gray cloth. They lack any major rips, stains, or tears, and the same material can be found in the door cards. The rear row reclines, split folds, and tumbles forward to create a large cargo area. The rearmost jump seats can be easily stowed against the D-pillar, too. The headliner, door cards, and carpets have withstood the past 27 years without sustaining major damage, and as a whole, it’s hard to complain about the condition of the interior. The body-on-frame platform is built to last, and the same can be said for the engine, the 3RZ-FE. Fresh off an oil and filter service, the 2.7L springs to life courtesy of a new 12V battery. It sounds decent, too, as we swapped out the old muffler with a new one. A new engine air filter, spark plugs, and distributor cap and rotor were installed as part of our tune-up. We also refreshed the four-banger with a new valve cover gasket and replaced a leaking distributor seal to ensure the oil level stays full. Best of all, we replaced the water pump and performed a coolant flush for the 3RZ to stay on top of thermal management. Linked to a stout automatic, power is sent to both axles through a full-time 4WD system. A center locker and low range can be engaged when loose surfaces are encountered, and this rig has no issues tackling tough terrain. The long wheelbase aids high-speed stability, and we have rehabbed the suspension completely to deliver a smooth ride. New front lower control arms, front lower ball joints, and new sway bar end links were all replaced when it was on our lift. Freshly aligned with new inner tie rods, it tracks straight as an arrow. ABS is standard, and the large disc brakes slow down this Landy with confidence. The power steering is light and easy to articulate, and the wheels are wrapped in new 31′′ Falken rubber. Turn key and ready to rock, this Cruiser is road trip ready today!
