1991 Toyota Landcruiser Full Time 4WD review from North America

Mulitple alternators replaced. Multiple rotors and brakes replaced. Shaky transfer case. Multiple tires replaced. Multiple fuse modules replaced. Catalytic converter went bad, muffler problems. This car was strong, but also a turd--it really worked hard to pull itself up hills, but had no problem pulling big oak trees out of the woods. It had engine running problems and got terrible gas mileage. I'm still not sure what was wrong with it.

I was a heavy user of this used car in off-roading conditions including, but not limited to, snow driving on unpaved roads, mud driving, pulling trees out of the woods, hauling 55 gallon barrels of fuel and 100 gallon tanks of water in the back, hauling bales of hay and horse feed in the back, hauling firewood, hauling kids, driving 500 miles to San Diego every winter, you name it, this truck did it. But it did not ENJOY doing it...lol.

It had electrical problems that caused it to be very unreliable. For example, the windows could go up and down when the car was off and key was out of ignition... this was not good. I went through 3 alternators in 1.5 years with this car--which left me stranded each time. Finally I got a Toyota alternator through Ebay instead of generic, and that fixed the problem!

It should be noted that I am VERY hard on vehicles and they usually have little to no value left when I am done with them.

Bottom line, if it can't stick it out with me for two years, it's crap.
