Yeah, that is probably the fastest Landcruiser we are going to see on Mud.

ToyotaPartsDeal.com is a good source. OEM parts at a reduced price.

Same here, 80 and 100 and plan to keep both!

Back during the Gulf War in the early 90s, reporters were bonkers on the Landcruiser's ability and comfort. I was looking to get a vehicle I could use as a daily driver, deer hunting truck and off-road adventure rig. The Landcruiser appealed to me because of the rugged nature coupled with nice...

There are tricks to getting these rigs to perform better on hills and mountains. They run very well at high RPMs and can do so for extended lengths of time. I put the power button on and then downshift until the RPMs are very high. I keep the tach out of the red but will climb an entire...

Add plumber's tape to the nut that screws into the compressor and then just tighten up the nut (as far as it will go). I had backflow on mine and this fixed it.

Those old power wagons were awesome. Very capable! I also appreciated the Military M37 Dodge 3/4 ton trucks. Best off-roader back in those days. I probably wouldn't own an 80-series today if I hadn't learned to wheel in an M37!

I need a front, passenger side door for an FZJ80. No interested in anything with rust, bondo or structural damage. Thanks!

I am betting it is the Reagan or Nimitz. Fleet Tracker Archives - USNI News - https://news.usni.org/category/fleet-tracker

We have very steep, caliche (slippery type of dirt that comes from lime stone) hills in the Texas Hill Country. Trying to climb one of these super steep hills without lockers is an excellent way to roll your truck. I watched a guy climb one of these hills in front of me with a brand new...

If you have never driven a vehicle with lockers, you are in for a treat. It is truely amazing how easy it makes wheeling! I drove my 80 from 97 to 2010 without lockers. While I got very good at wheeling without lockers, I had to dig out several times. The last time took me over 3 hours to...

Thanks for the quick reply! How much of a hassle was it to get set up on this type of policy with State Farm? Some on mud have said they are a major hassle.

Does anyone with lots of aftermarket gear on their 80 series have it insured for "agreed upon value" or "guaranteed value"? if so, who are you using?

I recently re-insured my 80 because of all the "investments" I have made. I added it up before I called the insurance company and I have $35K of modifications / after-market equipment already. I recently recieved my LSeat seat covers and will probably dynamat the whole vehicle when I am...
