This is an interesting thread. I am the original owner of my 91 FJ80. Drove it off the dealer's lot in July 1991 after waiting for the right one to come in from Japan. At that time the majority of them were being shipped to the gulf war for UN personnel. I think we ordered it in March. Well worth the wait IMO. We got a good one. It has been the single most reliable vehicle overall that we have ever owned. It has come to the rescue time and time again, and all it wanted for the first 100K miles was fuel, tires, and brakes. I changed oil and filter every 2-4K miles, tranny fluid drain/refill every third oil change, coolant, brake fluid every spring, full tune up every 2 years. Parts that wear out are replaced by OEM parts...always. It's now 16 years old and still going strong (knocking on wood). If the body can hold out from the rust that's starting to eat at the doors and the frame thats getting a bit scaley, it'll last another 16.
