Wheel/tire combo look clean man!Renewed the registration on the 80 this morning. Was pretty happy with the emissions numbers for a 24 yr old rig with 267K miles..
Blowing zeroes on CO and 6 and 4 on HC's. I love going to the shop that does the testing and see their reaction first to the number of miles on the truck and then have the tech say something like what the guy this morning said; "this thing purrs smoother than two year old cars that come through here."

Last picture I got of the 80 before the new owner left. Took a day trip to Charleston to buy a 03 Tundra, then off to Jacksonville to enjoy the beach. I will miss the Land Cruiser community greatly but I had to make an adult decision. Will definitely own another 80 one dayView attachment 1882115

The MUD paranoia is real
Just don't let it overheat....More high mileage rigs with original headgasket then not. Run it cool, maintain it and don't worry about it.
I installed the Delt ceiling brackets with a shelf from the container store. I wanted to do something a little different and since my interior is tan I purchased some tan camo Plasti Dip. Thanks again Mickey for the great idea on the Delta brackets!

It isn't a skid plate, it is a splash shield to keep debris out of the fan and belts. It also has a effect on airflow through the radiator.
So thats whats missing off mine,how detremental is it if gone.More baselining on the White Cruiser. Greased the drive shafts and u-joints. Front axle seals are done, knuckle rebuild required. Need to limp it through as-is for a few months until I'm done processing wood for next winter so I decided to at least change the front diff fluid ... puke. Foamy, green, syrupy mess.

Figured while it was up on the ramps I should put the factory skid plate back on. Not sure it does a whole lot, but an engineer put it there for some reason, plus I kept tripping over it. I had to spend some time removing 22 years of mud, muck and grease first. Nice and clean now and with no leaks coming from the front of the motor anymore it should stay that way.
