New LandCruiser

I just realized that this was better posted under this topic. So here are pictures of my "new" '91 LandCruiser.
Those tires look small for the size of the wheel openning. I'm going to have to do something about that. But I'm afraid that will mean getting it lifted.
The cost of that, plus the fact that I'm short, is what has me worried. In spite of that, I'm also planning to pull the running boards off. They probably
don't help the ground clearance.
Everything works ecept the cruise control, and the drivers door window switch, which works when it wants to. I figure the cruise control is probably just
a fuse. And the window switch, I going to pull the switch panel off, and blow it out with some compressed air and see if it that helps the intermittent operation.

Pretty clean, definitely some new tires/rims are in order for off roading. For 140k miles that looks pretty good. Never owned a Land Cruiser but for my vehicles the power windows not working has always been the motor mechanism and was easily fixed by going to Ecology or similar.

Bad news is that the Cruise Control issue on these is pretty common.
I believe the fix is actually pretty expensive. I believe it is some sort of solenoid that fails.
really nice looking Cruiser. Have always liked that color.

Bob;
Did you do the diesel conversion to the LandCruiser, or did you get it that way? It's tempting because I'm only getting about 13 mpg.

Hi Tom,
I bought it with the 1HZ and 5 speed manual tranny already installed.
13 is average for the 3FE since it is a very heavy heavy vehicle and it is always in AWD.
On the upside , they are dependable and built like a tank :-)
