So still in the works, just a bit longer still. Got it. Thanks for the quick reply though.

Bump. I'm assuming no news means no progress?

That'd be sweet. 3F? Carbed 1FZ? Seems like most people focus on the diesel options but I think a gas 6 in a SWB 70 series would be a lot of fun.

Middle east sure, but this one said it came from Venezuela.

Huh, would not have guessed these came carb'd. Just a Vza thing? Or a 70 series thing?

Ah...it appears they go by the FZJ73 tag. That might do it. They're the HD platform though, so leaf sprung. Bummer.

Sold the 80 about a year ago. Now have a 4x4 van for overland/camp/tow duties. Looking for something small to kick around trails. Was looking at KZJ71 s when I found out the 1FZ came in the Prado platform too starting in 1992. If they came with a 5 speed, that'd be a fun little vehicle...

This is evident even in the domestic market. Ford just introduced a pushrod 7.3 V8 and chevy is about to unveil a new 6.6, targeted at the full size market. Add in that diesel is supposed to spike in 2020 when the commercial ships switch over to ULSD and it really becomes a choice of running...

Np. Also, I have the lines and dryer coming in to fix the a/c. So that'll be fixed in the near future as well.

Undercarriage photos, plus a couple engine bay shots, plus a pic of the locker switches here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/BngFGQMj84Dqbgnu7 Again, the rust is best summarized as surface rust wherever a rock has contacted metal at one point or another. Otherwise it's pretty clean. White stuff in...

Good questions. So, I'm owner #3. I flew to Vegas to get it a few years ago, where it has spent the majority of its life, and was lawyer owned so it was shop/dealer serviced. He's actually a Mud member and shows that he still logs in on occasion if we have any questions for him. I do not recall...

Bump, just ordered 1 1/4" bump stop extensions to fix the rubbing. Also, for bigger maintenance items, HG done @95k. All coolant hoses done at @150k. PHH done at @160k w/ silicone hose. Whole front axle rebuilt ~12k ago, including wheel bearings.

Thanks! As it sits, more things will get fixed, however negotiating room on price will decrease. Just got a new windshield, and an intake tube goes in tomorrow. A/C is on the docket next. If we get a warm couple of weeks, crawler gears might be going in.

Up for sale is our 1996 Toyota FZJ80 Land Cruiser. for $13,200 Just over 211k miles, maintenance records back to ~100k. This has been a well loved truck both by myself and the previous owner. Most recently is a full tune up with OEM belts, spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, distributor o-ring...

Dude! Didn't you just get it to where you wanted it?
