Hey Gang- the day has come where I've listed my baby for sale on BAT. Check it out here: 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80 40th Anniversary Edition - https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1997-toyota-land-cruiser-174/

Hey there- unfortunately, we didn't have a code. I actually bought a new bumper from Toyota and it came in a gray color. I had the body shop paint it slightly darker gray just for my own taste.

I'll chime in- I bought my 1997 40AE for the listed price of $10k in February 2021. It had 285k miles and unlocked. I ended doing a full new paint job, full new interior (Including suede headliner), full new suspension (Stock height), wheels/tires, motor service, axle service w/ birfs (selling...

Those look awesome!

I did. I saw a massive difference in noise reduction overall (About ~10 decibels from the max) but that also includes the new tires. There was substantial effort to reduce the cabin noise and it worked well. The only problem now is we can hear wind noise from the windows when on the freeway...

Yeah that’s should be a huge difference! The K02 in that size is a beast of a tire and really fills the wells. I do 99% highway and couldn’t justify the A/T tire 😅

Awesome!! Yeah these are great tires. I had Goodyear’s on when I bought it and getting the LTX’s made a huge difference in ride quality.

No, I love the way yours looks! I can see a mild lift and tires in the future for me.

Got her first wash yesterday!

Hi Everyone, I have my 3rd row anniversary edition two-tone seats for sale. In fair condition and removed from my car. Asking $200 for both and local Bay Area sale only (will not ship). Used and normal wear/tear. Will clean up really nice.

I removed the old wood trim as it was all faded and pretty brittle. Took a couple hours with a heat gun and various tools to remove. The glue was pretty tough but it came off eventually.

True! Very happy with the result.

Also got new Dobinson coil springs (stock height) and all new OEM bushings. Waiting on the rear springs to get delivered, but I got the front springs and bushings installed- The results are pretty good. Much better ride compared to the old/worn out stock parts and the car doesn’t “crash” as much...

New wood kit actually fit pretty good.
