Yikes Kernal, Thanks for the heads up. I am sure most of the folks on this forum are good folks. I guess there are all kinds of folks out there, the good, the bad and the ugly. I agree. Moving forward I will remove the location info. Thank you.

Just heard back from seller. This vehicle is sold. So it's back to hunting for others.

Hi Bilt, Thanks for your suggestions. I'm still waiting to hear back from this seller. I will ask him the questions re HG replacement, etc, and will let you know here what I find out. Appreciate your input!

I agree that the paint is gone on this one. I enlarged the pics and the rust seems to be worse that on first look both the undercarriage and under the hood. Also panels have damage and are starting to rust especially on driver's side.

Hi Tach, Will look into the mechanical and rust issues. Thanks for your input!

Folks, Here is another one of interest. It's much higher than I was willing to go but may consider if it does not have major issues. Thoughts? Comments? https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/d/roswell-1994-toyota-land-cruiser-fzj80/7124842748.html

Vegas, Congrats on getting a good deal on you 80 in good condition. I am in Florida and I hope to find a rig that has lived outside of the snow belt and away from the ocean. Yes, I do plan to do the repairs myself. Actually I see that as an important part of owing an 80. I will get the FSM and...

J, Thanks for your advice on rust issue. Agree better not to deal with rust matters if you can avoid them. Also appreciate the input on possible good times to find 80s. Make sense during tax season and after holidays for folks to let their 80s go.

Tach, Thanks for sharing this. I scanned through video. Good video. Definitely looks doable for me.

Folks, If I had to put together a guide on how to buy a basic, stock, decent 80, (without losing my shirt )based on the collective wisdom of you folks here on Mud, it may look something like this (somewhat in order of importance). Please add/subtract/modify these as you see fit. I know this is...
