Devils Paw 80

Picked the ‘92 up today from Maaco. This thing is my hunting rig, never gonna be a show piece but the silver paint had really oxidized and was rough. Had some rust patched up and needed a cheap paint job. Got a local quote for a liner type job...

as someone who’s not a big “off-road” warrior, and more of a bad weather (snow + mtns) long trips hauler. Also lessons learned from my 4R OEM until it needs bigger, stock ride till you need more. Leave the geometry alone unless you need the...

I google'd the Stage 3 kit from Iron man and I'm not surprised at all that it now feels like you are driving a dump truck......You lifted an IFS vehicle and added heavy weight shocks for ( I assume ?) is a stock weight vehicle but correct me if...

Hi All up for sale on BaT is my 1997 40th Anniversary FZJ80 with ~210,500 miles, triple locked and really condition interior condition. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1997-toyota-land-cruiser-fzj80-276/

Speaking of 3FE's.. had a customer reach out with some issues, turns out his wire harness had been on fire as some point, serious damage to both injector circuits and the whole batch of thermostat housing circuits, and both o2 sensor batches...

If there is a history of the head gasket being replaced then not a bad deal in today’s market. I like the 3.0/auto combo in my ‘90 4Runner. HG done in 2000 by Toyota and I bought it in 2004. Yes, of course they get poor MPG and lack power.

with such requirements that are challenging the saudi specs, I suggest you go with FZJ80, GX. GXR, and the FZJ100. this GX is available: I can say you can go with a troop and add a second row but you want no troop.

I purchased this from a mud member a few years ago and spent the last few years replacing the motor and going through it. Been driving it for the past few months and it is a blast. One of my favorite land cruisers I've owned or built, truly one...

The pre '95's must be more primitive, like the older wagon series. My '97 LX came with two somewhat frivolous cupholders, one as a dash pull out and a real small one alongside the center console. But who needs 'em? Real men don't hydrate...

So I have been adamant about the only place Toyota fails is their lack of cupholders. Especially in the 80. I need hydration! So I recently got a 3D printer and thought, hmmm... I can solve this! I started with a pretty simple design based on...

Just picked up the cruiser from Manny and the guys over at Tampa cruisers in preparation for GSMTR 35! Upgraded to 4.88, front and rear arbs lockers, 35in MT’s and a whole bunch of other goodies! Looking forward to putting this 3-fe to the test!

Restoration was completed in 2018 with minimal miles and wheeling since. Probably 10k miles? Restoration work largely completed by Rob Millson at Millson Motorworks on Vancouver Island. @REDREEFER Frame: Epoxy Coated black Drive train: All...

Yes, you should run ATF in the PS. I would stick with the tire size you have currently.

Right now, I'm getting maybe 12mpg on the highway and maybe 10mpg the rest, LS swap would increase it to maybe 16 / 14 mpg? Like I have said it's a long-term goal / project set for 2027/ 2028

What is your current MPG? I'd calculate how many miles/ how much gas you'd have to buy in order to break even with the "better gas mileage" a V8 would provide. Given the low miles I drive combined with my age, I'd be tens of thousands of dollars...

I’ve always liked my wheels. Hahaha. 😂. And these white aluminum wagon wheels. ,,

How about Stock Steelies - Nothing better - Any other "new rim" looks completely wrong IMHO - There are some new rims made to look like the old originals and those would be a 2nd choice - Just my .02 but you asked!!!

5.3 with an overdrive is the way to go if that’s what you’re looking for. It will still scream at you but at least you can scream back. There are plenty of threads on here with the LS series plus 5 speeds or the 4L60e. I run at about 2000 rpm at...

X2 on the tires and gears... I'm old school and have really liked the 3FE's in 40's that I have driven. Quite a bit more pull than healthy 2F's and plenty of the low end torque needed off-road Its not a highly difficult swap since it's a later...

Not sure if this was posted here yet but I just saw this great informative video on the different diff lockers available for the 80 as well as the OEM locker and how it works.

From yesterdays float on the Coosa.

If it runs fine and doesn't overheat the HG is likely ok for now. External leaks are usually valve cover/oil pump o-ring/crank seal. If the coolant isn't full of oil and the oil isn't full of coolant it's likely ok. You may choose to do a...

LC is all full time AWD. Rear locker standard on all trim. 4runner only in limited trim is full time. 4runner can come with beefier rear axles in some trims. Might not be an issue for your wife. LC much better head room. Interior are both cramped...

Hooked up my white 80 New accelerator cable oem Belt moldings all the way around oem New pass mirror oem, thought I found driver as well but no luck Front and rear drive shafts oem Valve cover oem Driver Pass window runs oem

Bought new oem front bumpers and corners and finally installed them. It really makes the front end look fresh again.
