1995 Toyota Prado Land Cruiser J70 / L79 (modified for off-road use) for SALE -> SOLD

[Update - sorry, but she's been sold. Congratulations to the new owner!]

By now, regular visitors to this site will know that I'm a long-term (perhaps for life) member of the Puma 4x4 Club Malaysia. A legal (as in registered with the Registrar of Societies Malaysia, registration number 1057-05-8) club of 4x4 enthusiasts and avid-nature / camping lovers. Many members sign up their spouse, family and friends, so not everyone owns or drives a 4x4 (which is meant to go off-road and into the wilderness, not like those Honda CRV, Proton X70 SUV's). Of course, not every adventure is a hardcore crawl through mud and rocks - most of the time, trips are relatively family friendly, though camping in the woods does mean basic facilities like toilets and such are done "one with nature" style.... 😀

There are 2 ways to get into this - one is to get yourself a nice (preferably used) 4x4 and upgrade / modify it as needed, or get a seasoned one that has already gone through some experience. For the latter, today might just be your lucky day. Long story short, the club just happen to have a modified 1995 Toyota Prado Land Cruiser L79 Model for sale. This is one generation earlier than my J90 Prado, which frankly, I have never actually brought into the woods myself.

Back to the L79 - it's a 2.8 inline 4 diesel. It's modified for functionality, having a winch up front which is useful for pulling others (and occasionally yourself) out of tight spots. The car is currently parked somewhere in Melaka for viewing of prospective buyers. I'm not familiar with this car, so don't ask me any questions about what's it like to drive, everything working or not - just posting here to help the club advertise. In case anyone is interested to view / enquire about the price, please call up KC Ang at  01 Seven 989161 Nine. As of today, the listed price on Facebook is RM35,000 though it may change without notice in the future. It's more than the stock model, so the price is for the upgrades / modifications. Don't take my word for it - do check it out yourself if you are interested or you know anyone who might be.

Well, if you are interested to get into this 4x4, do consider signing up as a member and perhaps we can meet up face-2-face someday in the middle of the jungle...! 😂
