    0 to 60 times. How slow/fast is your 80? w/ videos

    Yeah, that is probably the fastest Landcruiser we are going to see on Mud.

    Please share your story as to how you came into your 80. #longlivemy80

    Back during the Gulf War in the early 90s, reporters were bonkers on the Landcruiser's ability and comfort. I was looking to get a vehicle I could use as a daily driver, deer hunting truck and off-road adventure rig. The Landcruiser appealed to me because of the rugged nature coupled with nice...

    There are tricks to getting these rigs to perform better on hills and mountains. They run very well at high RPMs and can do so for extended lengths of time. I put the power button on and then downshift until the RPMs are very high. I keep the tach out of the red but will climb an entire...

    ARB Locker / Onboard Compressor Diff Oil Backflow Blowout

    Add plumber's tape to the nut that screws into the compressor and then just tighten up the nut (as far as it will go). I had backflow on mine and this fixed it.

    Those old power wagons were awesome. Very capable! I also appreciated the Military M37 Dodge 3/4 ton trucks. Best off-roader back in those days. I probably wouldn't own an 80-series today if I hadn't learned to wheel in an M37!

    Parting Out  I am in the DFW area, I need a front, passenger side door for an FZJ80.

    I need a front, passenger side door for an FZJ80. No interested in anything with rust, bondo or structural damage. Thanks!

    We have very steep, caliche (slippery type of dirt that comes from lime stone) hills in the Texas Hill Country. Trying to climb one of these super steep hills without lockers is an excellent way to roll your truck. I watched a guy climb one of these hills in front of me with a brand new...

    If you have never driven a vehicle with lockers, you are in for a treat. It is truely amazing how easy it makes wheeling! I drove my 80 from 97 to 2010 without lockers. While I got very good at wheeling without lockers, I had to dig out several times. The last time took me over 3 hours to...

    Thanks for the quick reply! How much of a hassle was it to get set up on this type of policy with State Farm? Some on mud have said they are a major hassle.

    Does anyone with lots of aftermarket gear on their 80 series have it insured for "agreed upon value" or "guaranteed value"? if so, who are you using?

    I recently re-insured my 80 because of all the "investments" I have made. I added it up before I called the insurance company and I have $35K of modifications / after-market equipment already. I recently recieved my LSeat seat covers and will probably dynamat the whole vehicle when I am...

    I previously posted up an arm rest I had installed. It didn't work out. The armrest broke off at the base when I leaned to heavily on it to get something out of the passenger seat. Here is my new new set up: Here are pictures and Amazon link: Amazon product I opened the bottom box and...

    Arm rest for the 80 series that works

    Update: The armrest I installed above didn't work out. It broke off clean at the base when I leaned on it to get something out of the passenger seat. This is my new setup: Here are pictures and Amazon link: Amazon product I opened the bottom box and measured it. I cut and inserted a piece...

    I really like the look of that Delta bumper. If it had been around in 2010 when I finally put an aftermarket bumper on my rig, I probably would have picked a Delta. The ARB was pretty much it unless you were going to fab your own tube bumper. The 80 is a pretty old rig even to those of us...

    In areas that are very heavily populated with deer, an ARB could be the difference between hair-marks on your bumper vs. a very expensive repair job. Keep in mind the ARB was origninally build in Australia for Kangaroos.

    Lockers are the most effective of the mods you can make for wheeling your rig. I drove mine stock from 97 to 2010 (13 years). I got very good at wheeling without lockers during that time. I added lockers in 2010 and I have never used my winch to get myself unstuck since then. They are almost...
