    For those who have replace the stock roof rails…

    I have a Gamiviti rack and it was recommended to use DAP Dynaflex Ultra...no leaks and super easy to use!

    SOLD Dallas, TX - 80 Series Seat Leather Set (Mosley Motors)

    I have for sale a complete seat leather set (excluding 3rd row) that I had ordered from Mosley Motors at the end of '22. Ordered in the factory oak color, I never got around to installing the set and ended up going with a custom leather job for my '97 Cruiser. Still in the original box, I laid...

    Been working on an interior restore of the ‘97 Land Cruiser and after taking as much care as I could saving hardware, taking pics, etc, I have one piece that is lost...2nd row passenger seat belt top anchor. Any advice on how to track all of this down…bolt, spacers, and the clamshell...

    Best leather seat replacement?

    Bringing an old thread back… Looking for new leather and have reached out to Mosley multiple times with no response. Want to go the ”high quality” route so do I continue trying to get a hold of Mosley or do I take the seats to a shop and let them fit a leather set that looks close?

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Played with the AC this weekend...swapped out the evaporator, expansion valve, and drier. I want to preface by saying that I was only able to do this based on reading about every post on this great forum and felt very confident going into this project. I also bought what I thought was the best...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Picked up the 80 from the paint shop (Premier AutoSports - Richardson, TX). All new rubber, seals, paint, wheels reconditioned, etc…looks like new again! Wasn’t cheap, but this one is a keeper anyways so I didn‘t mind spending the coin. Threw an ARB bumper on with plans for the winch and...

    Reducing wind noise Gamiviti wind deflector

    I installed my Gamiviti rack about 6 months ago. I have the rack at the lowest profile and doing so didn't allow me to mount the deflector without it contacting the roof. At first, I drove without it and it howled anywhere above 35-40 mph. With a goal to get the deflector installed and look...

    Underbody rust inhibitor treatment recommendations.

    I recently applied PB Blaster Surface Shield. Went on easy enough but did drip some but I had put some cardboard down to protect the driveway. Having recently pulled the axles out of my 80 for rebuild, I was more aware on where to spray (a lot of which was already mentioned above)…frame welds...

    Media 200 series picture thread

    Pulled it like a champ down I20 doing the 75 mph speed limit. Tractor is about 4500# and it was a very good Uhaul trailer so it was nice drive, though, a thirsty one.
