Built for adventure and dressed to intimidate, this 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser VX Limited isn’t your average 80 Series. With a factory 4.5L 1FZ-FE under the hood, full-time 4WD, and a collection of well chosen upgrades, this rig blends proven Toyota reliability with serious trail ready presence. It’s lifted, finished in a custom Gloss Black, and feels every bit as tough as it looks. For the enthusiast who wants a purpose built truck with real capability and style, this one’s dialed in and ready to go.
Under the hood is Toyota’s legendary 1FZ-FE 4.5L inline-six gasoline engine, paired to a 4 speed automatic transmission and full-time 4WD with selectable high and low range. It’s a drivetrain that’s earned a global reputation for reliability, and this example with 121,561 verified miles is just getting warmed up. Adjustable dampening Rancho shocks and a lifted suspension enhance its off-road prowess, while a Suxon muffler adds a touch of attitude. A ball and pintle style trailer hitch expands utility for towing or gear hauling.
Inside, the VX Limited trim delivers the features you’d expect from a flagship Japanese market SUV. Power folding and adjustable mirrors, power windows, door locks, and sunroof are all included, along with front and rear climate control offering strong heat and cold A/C. A power antenna, rear pop-out windows, tilt steering wheel and factory analog altimeter and compass round out a cabin that’s built for both comfort and function. The spacious interior also includes a large cargo area in the rear, ideal for carrying everything you need on extended trips or off-road excursions. The Land Cruiser really came into it’s own in the 80 Series generation, blending capability and comfort into an iconic package that’s still favored by enthusiasts to this day.
The exterior has been thoughtfully upgraded to match its mechanical capabilities. Finished in a custom Gloss Black, it rides on MKW MK-36 alloy wheels wrapped in brand new Kenda Klever Mud Terrains, providing enhanced traction for off-road and challenging terrain. Additional features include a stainless steel front bumper, aftermarket bug guard, roof mounted auxiliary lights, fog lights, rain guards, running boards with integrated nerf bars, and a ball and pintle style trailer hitch for towing or securing gear. Every addition serves a purpose while reinforcing the Land Cruiser’s bold, functional style.
For enthusiasts and adventurers alike, this Land Cruiser VX Limited embodies what makes the 80 Series so highly regarded: a perfect balance of rugged, legendary off-road capability with everyday usability and comfort. It’s a thoughtfully upgraded, well maintained example that offers both the reliability Toyota is known for and the style and features to make every journey enjoyable. Whether you’re tackling tough trails, cruising highways, or simply appreciating a classic that’s ready to work and play, this 80 Series delivers a well rounded package that’s hard to match.
