Thanks @Brindleboxer for your input! yes, I saw that battery area/ wiring issue and I would definitely address it. Here's another / closer picture of the area I'm looking for info on.....would love to hear thoughts on how/ why this oil is present in this area (and if by chance it means "run...
Hey all, I may be buying a non-running 1997 LC if the price is right. I've been reading up on what it will take to get it started, etc, but one question I have is about the black sludge on the top of the valve cover, around the hoses and such. Is this caused by blow-by, leaking hoses, etc...
Hopefully you can find a dealership on the mainland that will ship to HI. Or an international parts place, if they ship to HI, that has them for around $1200-1300 "new pricing". You will want to double check the part number.....I believe 47050-60012 is what you need (includes brake booster...
Thanks, Shane. I was ready to disagree b/c I bought part number 47050-60012 back in June of 2021 and the best price I could find then was McGeorge Toyota online parts at about $2240, shipped. Without going into a really long story, the part didn't fit my LC (though I even entered my VIN number...
The problem described in this lengthy thread may not be your issue, but just in case:

Bummer but glad you are safe and didn't lose braking. If you have the $ for it, new OEM part is best (around $2200-2500 part only). If you're on a budget (as I was), Andy Le in Sacramento rebuilds these. Mine is working well so far (about 18 months ago on the rebuild)
Hey, tough to say without driving it and seeing pics (color combo/ paint), interior (other than front seats), engine bay, stereo, overall condition, etc. but at that mileage I would say somewhere in the $10k neighborhood.....getting close to 300k should keep the price more reasonable. I'm in...
Great input, WVU fan...thx. The seller does seem to be a nice guy and honest/ not trying to hide anything. Front seats need new leather and steering wheel needs to be redone. 2nd row seats and 3rd row look OK. There's rust on the rear bumper where the 4 holes for the pintle hitch are...
NOT MINE. just FYI here for interested parties. Hi all - I was interested in this (unlocked) 40th, but it's in CO and I'm in NC so a pretty large shipping cost. I have seen some pics not on the CL ad and it will need some TLC, but it's a 40th at a decent price (original paint, I think) and he...
Many of you probably saw the one in Richmond VA, listed here in Classifieds.....he put it up for auction and best I can tell it sold for around $16k (seems to have been the reserve, which was not met, but the site said the last bid was just $250 off reserve)
Seems like a great deal for a 3X...
Smart idea, I think that is money well spent! IMO, the less "problem areas" you need to mention on BAT, the better. Also bidders on BAT love a list of recent maintenance/ fixes....it shows the truck was cared for. My 2 cents again, you may want to order the Gamiviti plastic gears for the...
Hey @tarheel40, I totally understand being busy with work/ family/ etc.....and I understand not wanting to put more $$ into the truck before it goes to BAT. I'm sure it will do very well there, and the right buyer can address the underneath/ rust and radiator and any other maintenance as you...
Hey there, just a thought for you.....I have sold an 80 on BAT (last year) and I'm also in Eastern NC. You have an amazing truck (some would say "holy grail 80") with the most desirable specs....including 3x locked, and under 200k. But the folks on BAT are going to really complain in the...
I really like that second picture.....great color, and it looks good with no running boards and those new BFG's! 3X locked too. Probably needs a new radiator soon judging by the color of it.
I'm not in the market right now but good luck with the sale! Someone will get a nice 80.
I know some VW owners in CA will take their vehicles down to Tijuana to be painted, the main shops seem to do a good job and I think it's about a 3rd of the price vs having it painted in CA due to no CARB, etc. Not sure if you're comfortable with leaving your truck in TJ for a few days but as...
