I've got the OEM one I took off my 2000 100 at around 80k miles when I upgraded to a Mean Green high output alternator. Was working fine when removed and yours if you want it.
Drop me a PM if interested and we can sort out the logistics.
That is very generous of you! I located one this morning and it is being installed tomorrow at K Pro. I talked to Jim there and he seemed like a good guy. Thank you very much @staggrlee for the offer though!
Man, how do I keep missing all of these events?
Oh, yeah, probably broken down.

Hello everyone. Looking at getting into my first f80 land cruiser for back country backpacking trips with the family. Long time vehicle enthusiast. My 72 bronco just isn’t big enough anymore for the kids and gear. On the fence between an HDJ80/81 or FZJ80. Going to look at a 97 this week if anyone has any things to look for. I’ve read the slee newbie guide, but would love to get someone’s opinion on the vehicle I’m looking at if possible. Thanks guys and look forward to seeing you on the trails.
If you don't need the mileage and range of the diesel I'd stick with an fzj. I have a diesel and love it. But parts can be a bear sometimes. Plus if you're not mechanically savy, it'll be an experience.
The Slee guide and some time with vehicle will hopefully get you what you want. Not knowing the price, condition, miles etc advice is tough. I’ve seen a few recently that appear to be coming down in price and of course so many listed by people that think the pandemic frenzy is as strong as ever.
Good luck
Thanks. Here is the one I’m looking at.
1997 Toyota Land Cruiser 40th Anniversary Edition 80 Series - cars &...
1997 80 series Land Cruiser 40th anniversary edition in great condition with no accident history and 0 rust, it was a California truck. I am the 4th owner I believe. Reason for selling is we are...

Yeah, the mileage and low end torque was what I was interested in… I’m fairly mechanically savy, but no experience with diesel.
It appears to be a clean 80 with some nice accoutrements. Time to drive it and look under the hood.
I don't think this diesel is going to impress you with torque. You're welcome to drive mine if you want.
Thanks! I'm in Arlington too. Stopped by Torfab and talked with them. Currently looking at the LX450 on BAT. Hopefully I can grab it around the 20K mark.
Hello from Bham. I just met/ spoke with Diego and he mentioned a local LC group, and here I am. 91 80series with some mods. Hope to get out and meet some LC minded folks.

Welcome! I just joined the group not to long ago. A little quiet, but hopefully it can be revived. I’m still in search for my 80. Heading down to cali to look at one next week.
Dang. I needed someone to look at one for me!!! Hahaha
Welcome Jason
I’m here in Bellingham with a ‘93 80. My 80 loves drinking gas and driving all the roads up the 542.

If you see a clean ‘76-78 FJ40 let me know. When I sold my 40 last year I didn’t think I’d be searching for another so soon.

Do clean 76-78s even still exist? (that don't require refinancing a house)
