Between this tailgate upgrade and my DEPO/HID headlight conversion I'd almost look like I'm driving a newer, luxury SUV. Until I hit the gas. Or the brakes. FFS.
Had a couple questions here and on FB about the firewall insulation. The original stuff was falling apart after 27 years, and hitting it a bit with a pressure washer didn't do it any favors either. I went with DEI Floor and Tunnel Shield II...
I’m running pocket flares that I had Line-X. They bolt on and where removed for the paint job. Lindsay Collision is Lexus, VW and Volvo certified and work on just about anything. They typically remove door handles trim and lights but my truck...
New project we have getting started at the shop. This will be a pretty involved refresh and we are going to do a build thread to document everything.
1995 FZJ80 in Emerald Green (6M1) 164k on the clock.
Family vehicle that is getting a full...
Such a weird thread. You came to a LC enthusiast’s forum to find out if a vehicle is viable? For a great many folks on here maintaing these 80 series is essentially a hobby so your question is difficult to answer in a meaningful way.
Viable...
Honestly, if that's your perception, then maybe an 80 ain't for you :flipoff2:
I see a lot of threads were a newb posts about some POS they've been looking at with rose coloured glasses because they've just become infatuated with 80s, or...
Also, can't this question be asked of any Land Cruiser? Toyota probably thought Land Cruisers were no longer economically viable, that's why they stopped making them for the U.S. There's an interesting rant on YouTube from a guy who remarks about...
It's absolutely viable. I LOVE it when people tell me they love my 4Runner or my Land Rover!
It's paid for.
Working on mechanical things is my therapy.
I like old stuff better than new stuff.
I don't let other people work on my stuff...
Personally, I like driving something that is becoming a bit rare. Anyone can buy a newer vehicle but keeping an older vehicle going (100% acknowledgement that the 80 series reliability makes this easier) is something unique in today’s throwaway...
No offense and all due respect to you, but these existential, philosophical ownership threads are a waste of time imho.
I was putting mud terrains on the GX 12 years ago well before the overlanding hype, but I was much younger and naive to the...
Lots of Fluke supporters in here. Nothing wrong with that. But for anyone else considering buying a multimeter, there are other good options out there. Interesting video on what actually drives fluke price and popularity:
Some of the reasons to...
If its the same part number as in the original post, you can reuse the original pivot bolt which is what I did, works fine and holds the torque spec (cannot remember)
The lower ear (for the bolt tension bracket) is not threaded like the...
Whoa ... 21 pages and still going strong. Glad I just bought this 80 @elmariachi built instead of trying to do it myself. Filling up both tanks now is problem enough:rofl:
