4. 87,xxx original one owner miles!!
5. Completely stock for now. Not sure if I want to mod or keep stock

Put some 285/75/16 aggressive tread tires on her, and leave her be. That's a 20-25k cruiser!

91 fj80
Arnold & Pam
Battleship II
179,XXX
Flairs removed, front & rear bumpers removed, 3rd seat removed, 33" tires all by PO. Have not started on any mods myself yet.
Will be using for hunting and snow runs, maybe getting into some longer trips with it.

Have had some issues with it since I first got it and I am slowly becoming a cruiser mechanic, this is a great forum to help figure out problems. I am also a converted Cherokee guy used them for hunting and snow runs for years.

 

[texfredbastiat]

1. 1997 FZJ80 - 40th edition
2. Grady
3. Bernadette the Bruiser Cruiser (first thing that came to mind, i have no idea)
4. 161,xxx
5. Previous owner - Slee front bumper, slee 6" suspension, 37"/12.5 R17 BFG KM2s, engo 10k winch, metaltech sliders, scanguage2, and redone interior leather. The previous owner(s) did a fantastic job setting it up.
I'll soon be installing some little stuff (cup holders, lock box, seat/carpet protective mats, speaker covers, fixing passenger door gears w/ gamviti kit, fixing shakey mirror, fixing slow seat belt, re-keying back door to other key type), and
some planned big upgrades (baja low pro roof rack, rear bumper with towing receiver and likely single swing out for spare 37" and hi-lift, slee headlight and auxiliary harness upgrades and install their 14" LED bar on slee short bus front bumper, mod and install a uniden 520xl CB in the ashtray, and probably put some sort of tool storage in the engine bay.. either 2nd battery style or an ammo can). Eventual - put in a tailgate storage thinger from wagon gear.
6. I sold my f150 and will use this as my daily driver, plus for trips out to Guadaloupe mountains, big bend, and wherever else i can find some offroad trails to learn how to drive better than the usual redneck mudder.

 

[Zdeech]

1) 1991 FJ80
2) Zach
3) not named so far
4) 166,xxx
5) It seems pretty stock. Previous owner had it painted a couple years ago and it looks pretty decent. Registered in the Dallas, TX area until 1997, and it has been registered in New Mexico ever since, so it is pretty rust free. It is one of those early 91's that didn't have fender flares, roof rack, speakers in the front door, and it still has the OEM 15x6 steel wheels.
6) Weekender / vacation / hobby rig. I plan on using this is an exploration and trail rig in the Southwest U.S.. Weekend to two week long trips, maybe longer than that some day.

I joined the form within the last month (this is my first post), although I have been visiting it as a guest for a few years. I am typically a lurker, but I want to turn that around. This is my first TLC, and I just bought it a couple weeks ago. I like 40, 60, and 80 series cruisers. I was leaning toward a 60 series, but checked out this '91 FJ80 and couldn't pass it up! The seller had me take it off road about 1.0 mile into the test drive. I had a big stupid grin on my face, and it was all over. I have a friend with a '92 (Jake The Snake) too, so I figure I can get some solid advice from him also, and maybe convoy around the area.

Mechanically, it seems to be in pretty good shape. There are some maintenance records. I am currently base lining it per the factory maintenance schedule, and advice found on this site. I hope to have that wrapped up in the next 1-2 months (knock on wood).

Immediate mods I would like to get done by early summer include new tires (33" equivalent - probably 285 75 R16), 16x8 wheels, OME 2.5" suspension, sliders, and a functional stereo. Maybe in a year or two I would like to add a rear locker, rear bumper with tire carrier, and a roof rack with an awning.

far - CDL switch, Blue Fan Clutch, Wit's End APU. Got a Scout Lock Box on order. Tires and OME suspension next on the list.
6. Mixed road / light trail for now.

[brendonv101]

1991 HDJ80 Sahara
Brendon
Just shy of 500,000km on the clock
Since owning the car i have done many many things to it. I started out by fixing every single leak on the car and all fluids. So far i have replaced the following:
All wheel bearings
Axle seals
Front damper
Big end bearings (Where i found the engine had an undersized crank which points to a rebuild)

Valve lash adjustment

Timing belt
Water pump
Injectors

Rebuilt power steering pump
Flushed and filled cooling system with Toyota red
New thermostat
Intake gaskets
All bushes (radius, trailing arm, Sway bars ect)
Compression test as well as a leak down test to check for valve seats and head gasket (500-505psi on all cylinders which indicates a rebuild not long ago at all)

Plenty more little things like wiring and stuff.

Mods:
Marks4wdAdaptors Part time transfer kit

3" Straight through exhaust system

MHM Fab sliders



4" stainless snorkel and 3" stainless intake

HPD top mount cooler

EGT Gauge and Electronic boost controller


Redarc Oil Pressure/water temp combo gauge with optional sensor hooked up to intake air temp


4" lift, 35's

Runva 11xp Winch

Nice rig!! Im fairly close to ya in knoxville.

 

[GhostRIver40]

1) 1997 LX450 w/ factory f/r e-lockers
2) Brendan
3) T-Rexus / Rexy
4) 180k kms
5) Front: OME-418 (COMP) / 60070L & Rear: OME-863J / 60071L, 315/75R16 Toyo Open Country M/T on rims I have yet to identify. No caster correction was done for the 4"+ lift on it, so it is currently very scary to drive at hi-way speed. I currently have 2.5" OME springs ordered as well as a 3" drop brackets and 30mm front coil spacers on their way from MAF. Doing heavy duty Drag link and tie rod from Slee as well. I plan on adding an ARB front bumper, sliders and a RT tent as well. The major question that remains for me after this is whether to re-gear for the 35s or go to a 33" tire.
6) Family expedition / exploration and camping rig.

 

[Rubber Duck]

I was pondering the idea of having something for the 80 series guys, and hijacking the idea from the 100's and 60's about a registery or picture album in the sticky section. So...here goes, hopefully we'll get it moved to the sticky.

1. Year and model 1996 Land cruiser 4.2 Diesel
2. Name of owner Adrian Danny Subbiah
3. Name of rig
4. Mileage 303121 kms
5. Mods...if any; upgraded suspension with OME, upgraded front and rear bumpers.
6. How the truck is used: over land only
7. Photo. again...small to save space

Yeah... if you look in the 60 registery, there is nothing really different between the two, but might as well give us something to do with our endless nights on Mud. Haha

This is not anything like the ROTW, this is for everyone and anyone who wants to show us their rig. Feel free to. That's why its here. Well...now anyway's.
