Well, it's sad to say, but my XJ is up for sale as the family got too big. Everybody here probably already has an XJ, but I'd love for somebody in

For sale or trade for a 1996-97 FZJ80 series Land Cruiser or Lexus LX 450. Located in Colorado Springs. I need the space for family size, which is the only reason I am selling.

Description of vehicle condition:
Interior is in good condition. No rips, tears, or excessive wear in cloth seats.
All electronics work perfectly.
Paint is in good condition. No rust.
Drivetrain runs smoothly year round (-10 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit) with no cooling issues.
Front right fender is dented from kissing a tree.
Rig runs vibration free at highway speed even in full time 4wd with proper caster. Outstanding snow capability.
Tires have 85% tread and are in good condition (no sidewall damage or chunking). Spare is new.
Synthetics in engine and diffs (engine oil just changed with Mobile 1).
All doors and liftgate open, close, and seal just like a stocker.
Roof rack is bent a bit in the rear. Not from offroad use, where it has held up admirably as a rock slider, but from keeping the spare on the roof and driving into (literally) the garage .
The floor and rear wheel wells are covered in Duramat xtreme sound deadening material, but is not yet bedlined (Durabak, etc) at this point.
*The Infinity package has four Infinity speakers (2 in rear sound bar) and Infinity amp. The current stereo unit is Sony mini-disc with a Sony 6 disc remote CD changer. The mindisc and changer are not in the asking price and are negotiable.

D&C cage (rear plastic moldings will be reinstalled)

If you are interested in the seats and harnesses (SFI 16.1 with June 2004 date) in this last photo, which are preteen size (age 5-12), let me know. They are not yet installed, but were intended to be tied into the cage. The cool thing is that a 35" spare will fit in the cargo area with these seats, but not with the bench. Otherwise, the stock bench seat will be re-installed (or tossed if you don't want it). I also have a set of toddler sized seats (same is in pic, just carseat sized) and harnesses if you are interested.
