Long time listener, first time caller. back in 2020/21 while living in VT I had put some pretty solid effort into finding a 93/94 FZJ80, and at the time it felt like prices were going vertical, and everything in VT was a rusty pile of crap.

First few days into the roadtrip to Alaska with my dad. So far camped in Jackson, Big Sky, Whitefish, Radiant BC, and today went through Banff and Jasper. So far so good!
Two More wheel pictures. I refinished the hub center caps by sand blasting with glass bead to a clean plastic and using Dupli-color silver wheel paint with a 2K clear gloss. The yellow/gold highlights is a high quality pin striping paint.

My 1997 Land Cruiser got caught up in the flood waters of Hurricane Chantal over the weekend in central NC. This has been in the family since new and I never had any intention of selling it. I remember my dad bringing it home in the late 90s and...
I feel your pain. Currently waiting on a THIRD center front bumper bar for my 80 due to the first two arriving pre dented. Neither were packaged very well.
I don't know what it is with the some of the online depots that send Toyota parts. I had to order 8 steel wheels and return 4 for my 80. Even had them shipped to the Toyota dealer. Some would come in boxed in good condition, and the other had...
