Any interest at 20k guys? My logic is if these are supposed to go 300k+ why tie up an extra 20k for less miles when you have plenty of life left here and keep that money in your bank? I paid 22,5 and put work into it, plus inflation happened. I'm still only at 245k in my 80 and I've had that...

Tirerack still has some new old stock 2022 pirelli scorpion at plus for $217 a piece in LT285/55r20. I put them on and got 19mpg on a flat 100 mile trip. YMMV

Invoice from stated work

Hi all Thinking of selling JTJHY7AX4A4052237 238k miles because I'm headed to AK for a few months of work. If I sell this I can pay down my power-wagon tradesman 2500 and sell that up there. It's the opportunity to be debt free that I am chasing. Searched high and low for something with no...

For anyone interested, tire rack has new old stock 2022 pirelli scorpion at plus LT285/55r20 for $217 a piece including shipping and road warranty. For me that was enough to take off the rock warriors. Pictures in neutral and high.

Thanks for that, didn't know about the clubhouse. Found Specialty 4wd in Walton KY about 100mi from here who said I could call him in the morning.

Thanks for that tip, turns out they have LC jobs coming in from around the country and are booked through July. They are going to ask their tech if he knows anyone else in the area who they could recommend and put me on a wait list in case someone cancels. In the meantime I guess I can try to...

The dealer I'm talking to says to do it right is 26 hours labor and the heads come off to avoid smearing the FIPG and that bending stuff out of the way to do it the $960 dollar way could leave me with an exhaust leak too. I had an empty reservoir, filled it, drove 3000 miles across the...

save your aux cable, BT for music was added in 2010. And it's a hassle to pair anyway whereas the cable just works. 08-09 should allow hands free phone calls though.

For me it was the original windshield (2010) adhesive failure and water was coming in under the glass at the passenger lower corner. My radio didn't fail but I had water on the carpet on passenger side and moisture under the passenger side of the dash. I think some of the electronics on the...

So you probably know the radiator and starter will need to be replaced if original. What year are you looking at? Visually inspect the AHC bleeder valves. There should be rubber caps on them. You can flush the fluid and replace the globes yourself in an hour or two. Take it out of the...

I've been told about the '80 it's cheaper to get from 200k to 300k than it is to get from 100k to 200k. So, I bought my LX at 200k. If people are getting rid of 200's as they approach 200k, and when the prices are good, other people will snap them up, buy an FSM, daily drive them in varying...

OP, I appreciate the opportunity to share my opinion. A Landcruiser is a hobby. I bought my 80 knowing it was wrencher friendly and wanting (and needing) to be able to learn to do my own work. When my 80 needed shocks or CV joint replacement I was outside with a beer and an air compressor...

New glass installed. Installer said old glass could have been original- no signs of previous replacement urethane under the glass. Installer said the glass going about 12" up from and 12" over from the bottom passenger side was not attached to the vehicle. The adhesive had failed in that area...

So I asked for the TSB and, well, there never was one. Sorry. They were just looking for one online apparently. Drains were cleaned Friday, light rain over the weekend, more water inside on Monday. Windshield leaking top passenger side. It is a Lexus windshield. 'waiver of deductible for...
