While not an 80 series, I spotted this in Idaho Falls yesterday. I didn’t even call to ask how much. I have no connection to the seller and merely saw this in a parking lot. They must have just put it out there was a steady train of folks pulling to to look at it.
Pretty sweet huh?

^certainly falls under the "if you have to ask..." rule.
The wife used to work for a family that had a resto'd 45. At least they paid her well.
Take the running boards off and get some K02's; asap.Quote:

I have a set of Rock Warrior wheels in WA if you can't find them locally. Not worth shipping but maybe a traveling mag could transport.
That's a gulf spec imported truck (spare in bed).Quote:

I know. I just like what come on them. I do get the smaller diameter though.Quote:

All with ~130k miles and zero rust. I'd post pics but I'm on my phone and mobile won't let me. Pm me if you're interested.
Before you ask, I dumped a ton of cash into my 62 so one I them has to go...
Yeah, I've pretty much given up on my 94. And I rebuilt the engine last year ($$$). Gonna buy a new, or lightly used Four(4)Runner and move on.
Here’s an old pic of Rev’s 80 before the cool Delta bumper. It’s a one way ticket to boner city. If I didn’t have a sentimental attachment to mine, I’d sell mine and buy his.
And as a follow up, 4.88s are really worth it. Took my trailer out to the desert on a familiar roads and the difference was noticeable. And awesome.
^^^^ Sweet rig for sure
Both sweet rigs! Rev, let know what youre looking to get out of your 80. I'm always looking/have a few good friends looking for a clean one.
Used my 80 to do some shuttle laps last weekend and Tucker out the pups after fixing a real bad turbo leak.
Anyone else on here running a turbo'd 80?
We should get a cruiser meetup together after this like TAFKALVS was talking about last fall!

I just finished putting a turbo in an 96 fzj80 but it was attached to an intercooler on one end and a 1HD-T diesel in the other, with a 5 speed and part time xfr case behind it. :-)
Also, i shudder to think of the shitty headgasket of the 3fze having to deal with boost.
The 1fz head gasket isn't as bad as everyone says. It's like saying all Subarus eat head gaskets. Definitely a downfall but not all that bad.Quote:

Your project sounds awesome! Post some pics up.
As I see that many of you guys apparently carry bikes on the spare wheel, I will piggyback this thread if you dont mind?
Posted in TechTalk but it is quiet at this time of the year..
So...
...searching for a door mounted (for a Defender 110 with swing away spare wheel carrier) for a 31-33" tyre set up.
Thule 963PRO would have been an option but none available in Europe (apart with one with 300€ shipping).
Neither Yakima. Most of the similar manufacturers have gone tits up or have stopped producing them.
Found some ghetto rigs with PVA pipes and whatnot from the interwebs so if you have other pointers, I am all ears..
How are you guys dealing with the thing? Wranglers and and some Landcruiser users use them?
Would need for 1, max 2 bikes but it would be good if it would be quite sturdy. Not keen on hitch mounted setup,
the problem being that the hitch plate is a really low version and tends to drag ditches.
Any reccos or pics would be appreciated!
So I guess that I'm checking out of Land Cruiser life. Bought a 2019 FourPlay (TRD Off Road package) yesterday and am really jacked about. Dealer's installing new tires, wheels, and shocks and I'll have it be the end of next week.
Anyone interested, or know someone interested, in a 94 with a newly rebuilt engine and factory lockers? Also have lot's of other new goodies. It will need some very minor body work and paint.
Pics of 1hdt in fzj80.
My work on it is done, off to a friend to have it all wired up. I just dis temp wiring to get it running and shake it down.
Now I'm working on 2 40s, a 74 and another diesel 80 coming in for am intercooler install.
Buddy is selling this out of Des Moines, Iowa. Figured this would be the best thread to share.

^^ What's the price?
I think he is open to offers as I didn't see a price (just the 13-16 at the end of his post)
Pics of the 200 please. Aren't you in CO? Take it Slee and have him dress her up! You'll literally go broke but the guy makes some mean 200 series. I thought really hard about this route before going all-in on my 62.Quote:

Not LC specific but in general, leaking heater core or clogged A/C drain.
Sunroof drain is probably it. Run some weed wacker line through it then pour water down and make sure it's dripping under the rocker. Apologies if you've already done that. Next is what Mazderati said but could also be the back seat heater. Pull the passenger seat and make sure the heater hoses are good there too. After that, look at your windshield gasket. Bottom corners are the first sections to go if the gasket is bad.
Also make sure if you run line you do it gently. Lotsa guys push aggressively and pop the line off creating an even bigger headache of dropping the headliner to reattach.Quote:

If I remember to open the sunroof and wipe that out every couple months, I don't get clogs.

VIbes, Nick. My wife's AllTrack was pinched last week. No doubt that by now that it's hobo gang-bang hovel.Quote:

In the past, I owned an FJ40, and 80, and when I lived in Bozeman, a 100 series. I regret selling the latter.
I'm under no delusions that the 200 enters into the dental lawyer vehicle category, but eff it. The Land Cruiser is incredibly durable, dependable, understated, luxurious, and it seems plenty big enough to sleep in for the times I'm not using the camper. The 5.7 motor seems to be well regarded, if not thirsty. And like the 100 series before it, the higher mileage units continue to exhibit excellent build quality, rendering higher mileage units less an issue. Besides, prices are coming down enough to make them a viable option.
Who here wants to break cover and talk about their 200 ownership experience.
Could you stretch out in the back of your 100-series? Does the 200-series have longer interior dimensions (I haven’t looked)?
When I had my 100, it was enough to almost stretch out. Almost. It was enough that a few nights here or there was no issue. I'm 6'0", so aside from vans and campers, there aren't many rigs that will allow for a full stretch. It's not a primary driver for the rig; a benefit if and when I'd need to stealth camp in it.Quote:

I'm not so much concerned about the wheeling or overlanding; the motorcycles scratch that itch. It would serve as the day-trip or road trip ski rig where I'm not taking the camper and for trips into town. Working from (though aren't we all now?), I'm not commuting, so no issues there.
Is the 200 a nice, tall, upright luxury sedan? Does it drive bigger or smaller than its size implies? Stuff like that...
