Merry Christmas! Check out my Moab Special!

We are in the middle of an ice storm shutdown here in Texas. The 80 carted us all around today- roads were just wet.

Take it from a guy who just "restored" a 97, one that was in great shape mechanically, didn't have rust but was in terrible shape aesthetically. You will get killed on it, death by a million cuts and rust is cancer that will eventually kill it...

Made a useless cubby screw hole Made a mount for a cb in the ashtray https://solvefunction.com/shop/ols/products/ashtray-radio-mount Replaced an axle seal. Added the wit's end abs plug while in there.

Except for multiple orders from Partsouq and others, the real work has started. The motor is out and should be off to a new home soon. It came out pretty easy. I wish the weather had been better, so I could have sprayed it down. I will have...

I had a friend who had a poverty pack 80 series and it had a quite the interesting history. From what I recall, it was owned by an older lady in Santa Fe, NM. This particular 80 had an auxiliary fuel tank, the tilt angle indicator up top near the...

I agree, it would awesome to see how many made it to the US. However, every account I have heard about build specifications is that Toyota doesn't keep those numbers. Hell, there's debate about the configurations of collector's editions. Just...

It would be cool to know how many made it to the US and then how many still exist. Some day someone will look back on this thread and think why did he modify that rare original 80. I will be some future collectors cursed PO but whatever, I am...

I'd put up the argument that USDM poverty packs are some of the rarest 80's in the world. Most 80's that came to the US were optioned pretty heavily.

I spent some time this past weekend rearranging the garage, so I could get the 80 in. The 45 project had really spread out but it is far enough along to share the space, so it has company which will be distracting at times. I am hoping the swap...

The problem is finding comparables for a rig like that. Not many change hands in the US. If it was a US market 80, there's tons of them changing hands all the time--lots of comparable sales. Even HDJ80/81 change hands somewhat regularly, and...

Powdercoated acrylic clear last night. The results are absolutely stunning! And I have another said on a vibrating lap, curious to see the difference.

Before, eek. After 👍

Milestone: Engine and Trans are back in the truck. Here's a short time lapse from a terrible angle, but I like how it shows the weight settling the front end by 2 inches. Nice and shiny

here's a link to some pics of some awesome work he did on my LX450. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/kelly-saad-www-landcruisergrilles-com-painted-my-lx450-worth-every-penny.1302383/

Some awesome stories in here. In 2018, I wanted a change. My son was growing older and I was looking for ways to be able to connect with him that would hopefully last a lifetime. We loved to chase adventure, so I started thinking about what...

My family was always into cruisers (my mom drove one in high school and actually pulled my dad into the scene). I remember walking to school in 2nd grade and taking note of the silver land cruiser down the block with Lexus badging. Well, a few...

Funny how early childhood experiences shape future behavior. My parents owned a '93 80 series from new, which started my solid axle obsession. I got into wheeling in the early 2000's with a built Grand Cherokee. Great rig. Suffered new dad...

Serving as a US Diplomat to Tajikistan. The LC was was being passed around like a barracks wh*#@ until I saved her.

Super happy with the new detail dude. Wanted to share some photos since a few people asked for them. Trying to get some nice photos so I can list her but the rain won't stop. Happy New Year everyone!

I started prepping the engine to be able to put back together by the end of the month when I really get started. Pulled the Intake, to remove all the SAI components. With everything out of the way I decided to pain the block. I used this...

sunroof-less 91 just went on sale in Los Angeles https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/cto/7565833283.html

I will have a 1994 for sale soon with 215k miles. It's the 3rd in line with the chrome wheels. Cloth interior, no 3rd row, no flares, no steps, no roof rack, no rear sliding glass. Added upgrades include OME stock height lift kit, ARB rear Air...

Man if anyone is selling a poverty pack DM me, I’d absolutely love one haha. I know there’s a 94 for sale in SoCal that has no sunroof but does have the sliding glass, so not a full PP. also paint is shot and have been in a small front end...
