1995 FZJ80 Land Cruiser - looking to buy 2005 G55
Purchasing G55

Hi all! New here. I come from the triple locked Toyota world and am possibly making an offer on a 2005 G55 tonight. It has 116k miles on it. It appears to be in great shape. I asked the seller to send me pics of the birfields (at least that is what we call the front CVs in Toyota land solid front axles). See attached pic. They don’t look that bad. They aren’t leaking. I’m use to dealing with failed axle seals that end up mixing dif oil with the CV grease and causing a mess. They seem to be a bit dry though. Is there I grease nipple on the CVs? Let me know your thoughts.
