Just to confirm - this works on a 3FE pump as well? 91-92? Wouldn't hate a little more steering assist.

A little more info - A couple South African guys replied to a Facebook post I made in their Land Cruiser group. Apparently if a vehicle with a speedo/odo in miles is imported, it's *not* a requirement for any kind of inspection for it to have a metric cluster installed. So either it came with...

Yessir! I’m actually moving this spring and my new place will be about 15 minutes away from Oak Island. I was always interested in it as a kid too, and their show re-ignited my interest and I’ve binge watched a lot of it. The re-hashing gets annoying and the “could it be???” has turned into a...

The extra swing out is spoken for unfortunately! An aircraft mechanic friend of mine made a set of braces out of titanium and carbon fibre 😳 It doesn’t have either of those! It did have a centre console fridge, but some forensics revealed that it was retro-fitted and non-operational.

The tire carrier is actually a Kaymar, interestingly enough. I have an OEM swing out I was gonna put on but the Kaymar is frame mounted and I like it. Most 1991’s in Europe/NA got fender flares no? I find it weird that it has the flares and the sunroof with the one-piece bench and no 3rd row...

No kidding! Overall it’s very clean and tidy. I was pretty surprised when I was told that

Yeah, that struck me as weird too. That fender also appears to have had a quarter panel indicator hole that was welded in, and there’s some evidence of paint work on that side. It’s a non-op antenna, maybe someone replaced the fender with a JDM/Euro fender and threw an antenna in the hole for...

Welp that answers that 😂. Looking forward to seeing it happen

I can second (third?) this. 3FE with a 5 speed rocks. Still not a powerhouse, but moves around respectably and cruises easily at whatever speed on the highway. I rarely downshift on hills even with mods listed below. Tows a 3000lb trailer respectably. Gets decent mileage for what it is (I can...

Calling all 80 series forensic specialists. I bought this 80 about a year ago that had been imported from South Africa, and would really like to know more about its history. I’m hoping some of you might recognize certain features and be able to help me pick out where it’s from. It’s a 1991...

Pm sent.

I see some back and forth there referencing a sale but ad doesn’t say sold - still have it?

I ended up swapping it into my FJ80, no longer for sale - any questions on the swap, or finding a H150F feel free to pm me

I’ll throw my observations in here. I’m a religious MPG tracker, it turns driving slow into a fun game and filling up with fuel into a dopamine hit. I’ve gotten 14-15mpg mixed, and 15-17mpg strictly highway with the 80 pictured below. 3FE, 5 speed swapped, header and 2.5” exhaust, de-smogged...

Rats. I was thinking if the A440f adaptor made the back of a 4BD1 look like a 3FE, it might be able to be used as the basis for a H150F conversion, given the right flywheel adaptor. Oh well.
