I agree, we will eventually tip that point where parts are just so hard to come by theyll fall out of favour due to ownership cost. Fortunately for us we are able to get allot of those kinds of parts from breakers in the middle east (very dry...

Not that its relevant to your location, but thought id share my experience on value in the UK. I purchased my stock 200k mile '94 HDJ80R a little over 3 years ago for around £15k (a higher price for a higher condition vehicle), recently my...

If you can’t change any 90’s Toyota radiator you don’t need to be working on it either.

That is great to see! One of the big challenges to buying an 80 Series is one of it’s greatest attributes, most parts break or wear out slowly by design, keeps them operational in the field until they can be addressed! Challenge to that, most...

Paid 3k but I’ve put about $6k in parts with still many to go. But hundreds and hundreds of hours of my time! I also spent a couple of thousand just to get it back to Canada. My son and I flew to SFO then drove it back to the east coast of...

In 2006 I paid 4100.00 for my 95 triple locked 80 series with a little less than 200k miles on it. The guy that I bought it from didn’t know it was triple locked, but then again I didn’t either. I just needed a cheap 4wd suv and was clueless as...

My thoughts and experiences with the 80 Series .... I have always been into the off road scene. I've built some pretty capable Jeeps and have wheeled them like a $10 hooker on a payday weekend and had a blast doing it. Late night garage sessions...

Marketplace specs are quite ridiculous. My truck initially debuted on FB for 16k. It sat for two months and the guy needed to get rid of it during a move, so he was desperate to sell. A PPI pointing out all the neglect, got him to come almost...

I was just looking at a 95 triple locked that was far too clean with 122k odo original owner / garaged and they wanted 25k and all I could do from everyday from they day I found it and the day it sold is wonder if they would’ve taken 18k for it…...

Today I got the spark plugs swapped out, got the upper pan cleaned up from drilling and the lower pan glued back on. Oil feed and drain lines are plumed. Got the water port in the thermostat housing drilled and tapped and plumed. Need to convert...

Progress continues, had to put the new lights and grill on for motivational purposes.

I had a great overnight trip over the holiday weekend. Here comes the picture and video spam! 😆 Cheers

I decided to take a peek at "Bob is the oil guy" for just a second to catch up on ZDDP-- Big mistake! That damn site will suck you in like a giant Kirby vacuum cleaner and leave your brain spinning. There went too many minutes of my life I will...

I’m glad this thread popped up here. I love my 2014 Land Cruiser, but at 260,000 miles and counting, I had started thinking about picking up another, newer vehicle. I was initially focused on used GX460 or LX570, then started looking at others...
