I'll buy it!! Yeah you should get rid of it. The gas prices will just keep increasing so I am doing you a favor by buying it.....so? can i have it? Thanks!! ;-)

I followed the same path. Wasn't even looking for an 80, was just looking and the Land Rover Discovery. All I ever heard in the forums was the owners complaining and just having to deal with it. Then I looked here and all read about (pretty much 99% of the time) is how all the owners absolutely...

Excellent postings. Thank you. I think this helps all the people that are still considering buying one but haven't yet and really solidifies all the reasons we each love our cars. I really like the stories of the previous vehicles owned and the considerations of vehicles that might have been...

I am really curious to why and how everyone got into the Land Cruiser. I started looking at the Land Rover Discovery, test drove a couple, did a lot of research and made the decision they are too costly and unreliable (but still very capable off-roading). Then I looked at something so...

The rust is very minimal and the underbody perfect. Someone is on their way over but if they don't pick it up I'll get more pics for you. Thanks Nigel

183,000...very nice condition, a/c, 3rd row seat. etc etc. a really really good condition and I think low miles considering the year. 33" BFG all terrain t/a 3750.00 obo thanks Nigel look here for vdo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kbCNs_-3dw call or email me back for more info

Ditto with the other posts but you should know a lot more after you test drive those. Don't just go for the first one and just because the years are the same doesn't mean they will be the same. Here is what I would do (and did). Test drive the 91 and 92 then test the 94. You WILL feel the...

RANMA21........you are right. the '91 I picked up wasn't rusty at all. I am going to pass on this one. I have been scouring the craigslist for sun belt land cruisers. Do you have pics of one you have for sale? thanks

Hey ..thanks everyone!! The more I think about it the more I agree with everyone on this forum. I will offer 2K today and I think that wouldn't be a bad price. It is the overall neglect that worries me. I can see they didn't know what a nice vehicle they had and they just let it rot. Ranma21 I...

More pics Here are some more pics to help you help me make some decision. I have a couple more and am open to critique and questions... thanks Nigel

Hi Everyone, I absolutely LOVE this forum...I am a teacher and now I just spend all day browsing here instead of teaching! :p So here is my question that I hope all you can help with. I just looked at a 1994 with 204,000 miles, FR&RR lockers, leather, sunroof, 3rd row seating, etc. They are...

Hi....where did you get the brackets from? I really should put a higher rated alternator because I will be running a bunch of lights for night desert off-roading... thanks!! Nigel

thanks for the info. i have a chop saw and was thinking of investing in a plasma so then i can really go crazy. I used to design and make furniture out of metal (beds, table, etc. ) so still have a lot of metal lying around. I love this part of designing and building to really feel like the...

This is a great thread. It shows the craft and ingenuity of the subscribers. I have made a couple roof racks and bumpers for my syncro vanagon and now i have to do the same to my newly acquired 80. Did most of you use a plasma cutter? What did you use to make the bend of the tubes? thanks...

Your rig is AWESOME!! I hate you!! :p
