A small update. The truck is still for sale. I have been in the process of graduating/moving/ starting a new job so it’s not been the top priority at the moment. With things settling down I’m starting to look for another car again and devoting more resources to moving on from my 80!

The prior owner is the one who swapped the engine and transmission. I am not aware of the milage on the engine or transmission sadly. I have had the valve cover off for replacing the emissions lines this past January. The valve train is very clean and the oil looks to have been change regularly...

My buddy just processed a few photos from a windrock trip we took this past fall!

Here’s a few underneath shots!

Here are a few more photos!

I got my White Knuckle sliders in the mail on Thursday. Had the sliders painted on Friday night and installed Saturday morning. Went out to Windrock on a trail ride after the slider install. I ended up with a small ding on the slider it held up well. However my paint job on the sliders is...

Thank you! That’s about the same as I ordered! Raw, dimpled top, and default angle. Getting. Getting restless as I don’t want to to wheeling until I get them on. I know as soon as I take it out I’m gonna cause panel damage and the sliders will show up the next day 😂

Does anyone know of the estimated wait times on slider delivery? I made an order last month and am chomping at the bit haha. I understand with the beginning of the season and covid supplying I’m sure order influxes have been massive.

Did the 361k mile oil change on Saturday. Then on Sunday I went to cars and coffee and went on a trail ride at Windrock afterwards. Took on trails 26 and 27. Had a great time with some rock crawling here and there. The 80 and its lockers still continue to impress me. I cannot wait until my White...

Do you have a picture of the wheel? It will be getting refinished.

Is the front grill, valence, and steering wheel available?

By any chance do you have any early 80 series front clip parts? I am looking for the early grill that has the “TOYOTA” emblem and the lower valance to go with it. I am also looking for a non airbag steering wheel as well with the “Land Cruiser” horn pad.

Do you still have any of the front clip? I am in need of a grill and valance.
