One thing I almost forgot to mention, check tie-down brackets, there should be four of them at the rear, with the third row folded. May mga bolts ito at butas diretso sa ilalim. If you ever decide to join our trails, those holes need to be plugged.

Check if the 4WD mechanism is functioning properly, and diff lock engages and disengages. Yung kay afrasay pagkakuha nya dati matagal mag-on & off and diff lock. Probably got stuck since the previous owner didn't even bother to know what it was for.

get the safari for 550,000 and spend 100,000 on a turbo. kaya mo nang habulin ang land cruiser safety ka pa dahil hindi converted and while waiting for the turbo to arrive from australia, you can use the vehicle na kaagad.

One of the things I don't like about the Safari is the apparent lack of refinement. On paper you can match the specs of the LC80 but they are still quite worlds away in actual day to day use.

The interior of the Safari ages and wears out easily. The ceiling is notorious for sucking up dust and eventually looking like a wall map of the world.

The door panels sag and warp even with normal use.

The dashboard is made of shiny black plastic and a lot of the dash is still painted metal.

If you feel cold, you can't close the air outlets. And the vanes in those outlets loosen and break off so easily.

These things, you will take foregranted in an LC80.

Despite of these faults, I still love Safaris.

Oooops! My bad! It should read holes not hose.

Diff breathers does have it own hose connected to cross members of chassis. And its holes should not be plugged.

I looked at the green '94 SAfari advertised in 4x4ph with 115K on the odo last week. Maganda pa yung condition, needs body work (hilamos), some minor suspension work, and probably new engine mounts. The steering wheel is clean and interior condition was good (in used Safari terms).

My dad and i were interested but he decided na kelangan niya yung PPP para sa business niya so postponed muli ang pag hanap namin ng project family car.

sir, thank you po sa pagtingin

kuha ka na lang ng safari, at least marami kang mapagtatanungan dito in case may mga inquiries ka

pero kung gusto mo talaga ng lc80, then go for it! pera lang katapat nyan
