Howdy Y'All

Well, we added an item from the wife's bucket list of "Vehicles I'd Like to Own". Goes right along side the Early Bronco and the Jeep CJ5 in the shop. After years of snagging her the "Oh That's sort-a cool" off the dealer lot, the last being an Acura ZDX, she decided she wanted a Land Cruiser. We have had/have 2 Tundra's (still driving a 2010) and an FJ Cruiser (OSOSXSY) and really have grown to love and appreciate Toyota quality so the older Land cruiser was a welcome add.

So we found this 1993 after looking locally and in near by states since Christmas; Two owner and relatively low mile not to mention very straight and clean.

Have a list of what I think will be minor things to correct:
1) Sluggish steering/handling
2) Front brakes that have a bit sponginess and then growl/grab/pop at the end.
3) Valve gasket and pan weeping slightly.
4) Correcting the cause of a Code 24 that the previous owner says has been in place for almost a year.
5) New Mirrors (current ones held in place with zip-ties)

Have a nice list of things wanting to add to the new acquisition:
1) 2-3" lift
2) Perhaps some Amp Research running boards
3) Double DIN stereo with DVD nav and rear camera.
4) Convert the rear axle to disc brakes
5) Perhaps eventually an LS-3 swap when the time comes to address the engine.

I'm not new to forums and I will try and make best use of the search engine but I expect to have some questions of others real life experiences with some of the things to come. I also welcome random input from those who read this and say "What are you thinking!" or "That's a really bad idea."

Thanks in advance for the great opportunity to share this ride with this group.

[Paul Treichel]

1) 1997 FJZ 80 (MFG Date 7/97)
2) Paul & Shannon
3) "River Cruiser"
4) 171,000
5) Lots of stuff done by previous owner... front and rear bumpers, winch, roof rack with LED bar, lifted with TJM springs and steering stabilizer, clear headlights, LED tail lights and several other goodies... Stuff we have done so far... Marlin Crawler installed low gears in t-case, spool, and part time hub conversion, Marlins steering linkage for drag link and tie rod. All new EBC pads and rotors and the wife's favorite... Weathertech front to rear... I guess she likes the killer sound system and DVD set up too. Working on sub tank install right now for the extra range and the rear ARB to start on lockers.

6) Wife's Daily Driver/ Running to the river house

My game/dream plan, "drame plan," drive it.

A 1.5" body lift to fit the engine, 33's, a locker in the rear, bumpers, new paint, Etc...

Factory locked
Part time transfercase
2.5 OME
34" Nittos on 17" Motometals

Picked this up a couple weeks ago for $1500. She's a little rusty but the price was right. Picked up the wheels and tires used. Got the lift from Samir on here. Lokka part time kit, wouldn't trade that for anything, WAY nicer driving. My first LC. Living it so far!

Hullo from PDX Oregon -

Last December we picked up a beautiful factory locked 1993 FZJ80 in emerald green.

Was owned by the original owner for about 21 years. He and his wife kept meticulous records from purchase on, and took great care of her.

Next owner was a LC fiend (mostly a 60-series guy) who mostly baselined her and then took her with his family on a cross country trip to Yellowstone, IIRC.

I picked her up with 217k on the clock, and recently completed the last of the baseline stuff, including the PHH and a new radiator. She should be good to go for some time now. I put on Goodyear Duratracs in 285/75/16 and have been slowly cleaning her up.

Next up is a full detail, OME lift (heavy front, med rear), and a winch of some sort for the ARB bumper she has up front.

Love this truck. Drives like a dream and is gorgeous.
