Need solid advice from this forum; I've owned 4LC....loved two of them very much. Bought into the FJ Cruiser brigade, sold my LC's and now own an '07 FJ.
I'm no expert but can profess I knew my LC's inside and out....issues, maintenance items etc. Loved how stoutly built they were.
FJ...love the upgrade in power. Suicide doors and space kinda suck. What's more concerning is how Toyota built these early FJ's. I had a transmission issue which I resolved by flushing the fluid etc....but now the most concerning issue of all is my rear diff has given up the ghost!! Three teeth sheared off. 8.0 weak ass diff for ya.
Contemplating fixing and selling the FJ and heading back to the 80 with something in the 200K 230K mileage range. I owe about 15K on the damn FJ.
Thoughts? Pros/cons?
Thanks!
