I have a new in box Coverking brand Stormproof model car cover in ash gray color. It fits an 80 series Land Cruiser without a rear tailgate mounted spare tire carrier. Also included is a cable and lock. Purchased new in September, 2023 and never used (no longer have the vehicle). Asking $320...

Totally agree that outside of town, leaving it in drive doesn't cut it. I had owned my FJ80 for some months before I read someone's post here where they mentioned they drop the transmission into "3" or even "2" on long steeper grades on highway runs. That was an "oh, duh" style revelation I...

Wow. It is surprising and not surprising how FJ80s have shot up in value. I bought my early '91 FJ80 6 years ago locally off craigslist for $5k (rust free original condition, ~160k miles, NM all its life). I really wanted a nice 60 series, but couldn't afford it at the time (and for sure not...

If you are into rock crawling, that totally makes sense to have 37's. Mentioning fishing and camping in that same sentence made me laugh though. I guess you won't have to be bothered by sharing your backwoods campsite with anyone driving a subaru! Your rig looks awesome. How do you pull off...

Driving it for a year sounds like a great plan. 35's would do better in mud and sand than 33's would for sure!

Wow, this is pretty wild! I haven't been closely following the 80 series market recently. Those last two rigs you posted were in very nice shape, but wow....$25k and $20k sales prices. Things escalated quickly. I bought my rust free (NM / TX) '91 FJ80 - unmolested with 166k - in spring 2016...

I have a 91 FJ80 and I went with 4.56 gears. I chose that ratio because it was perfect for 33's, and for my use I didn't plan on going larger than that tire wise. 33's provide me enough clearance, and I wanted to stick with keeping the spare tire in the factory location (don't want to spend...

Pinto beans mainly, sometimes garbanzos.

Just pursuing the classifieds... I am always blown away on forums when people don't pay attention to the dates of posts. Asking someone if a car is still available for trade....SEVEN YEARS after the post? Wow.

I hear you on wanting better more modern lighting. After driving a vehicle with modern HID headlights, it is very hard to go back to halogen. HID headlights are pretty incredible, and probably my favorite improvement to automobiles in general that has come along in my lifetime. If you aren't...

Sweet deal, that is a great price, and a 40th with lockers no less. But dude.....bedliner and aftermarket ebay lights? This thread took a turn for the worse. I'm not innocent! I regret pulling my stock seats and trashing them and replacing them with corbeau seats. Should have paid to have...

Gross....

@Outsane Hey man, that sounds like a great plan, I am for it. I am not 100% sure I kept it. I will look for it in the garage tomorrow, and let you know either way.

For the record, the one on ebay went for $13,455....

@Outsane , nice idea, that looks great! I would go this route. For my situation though, the post the screw goes into was broken into many pieces - beyond repair. So, I had to go the junk yard route. I did see that you also have a small yellow part to support that screw hole post too. Also a...
