    Looking in to an 80.

    Toyota's flagship SUV will give you a comfortable ride on or off road. Full time 4WD will give better handling than many other SUV's. I usually keep it around 65-75 mph. At 55 mph HWY I get 15.9 mpg. In town I get 10-12 mpg. Very good off road!

    Feeling like Jed Clampett

    Mine was a just a gooey gunky mess until I extended my front axle breather and cleaned that area off with simple green to see what was going on. Mine is the rear of the PS pump leaking but it's not too severe, for now.

    Does an 80 still make a good DD?

    Mine is a DD. It is relatively comfortable while commanding a large beastly street presence on the virtually lawless streets of the greater Phoenix area.

    I don't know how you guys

    Consumer Reports lists Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep at the bottom of the reliability scale. At one time Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth were great manufacturers. Building stylish, powerful cars, with care. Sadly, those days are long gone....many years ago. Go ahead and stick with your dodge built by some...

    Land cruiser crisis

    Any older vehicle requires researching the important checkpoints for continued reliability. Owning a older LC demands that these not be ignored. Especially if you are going to be wheeling in middle of nowhere. I work on my LC and my Dad's Tahoe and the only advantage the Tahoe has is...

    valve cover removal help?

    Napa should have the standard 5/8" heater hose and clamps for the job. I very carefully cut my cotter pin clamps with a dremel tool. Take a sample of the vacuum hose to Napa. It's probably a standard size also. p.s. It's important not to sit or lean on the radiator tank while...

    Where does the coolant go?

    x2 on the radiator seam split and using a pressure tester to find out. I could not tell where the heck the leak was until I used this. It turned out to be a split hidden by the foam stuck on the radiator.

    Driving in Idaho with Pics

    Thx for the pics! I really do miss living in ID. It is a gorgeous state and easily one of the most wild of the lower 48. I made the trip to Atlanta once though not in a LC.

    Vibration above 75 MPH LC-80

    Most of my highway vibration (70+) was fixed by new rear rotors.

    Newby here needing advice for a '93

    Not much you can do about mileage if it's already tuned up and running properly. However, they are built heavy and hold up well in accidents. I see it as a trade off I am willing to live with. Keep a close eye on fluids and learn how much is being used. Well maintained is most important.

    slow get up???

    I don't know what the advertised 0 to 60 performance is for the 80 series but you could test it against published data. Otherwise these bolt on units should help with your sled:

    RTH- After rear brake job rotors really hot!

    I'm using the same pads with new NAPA rotors. You could have a sticky caliper piston. Also, careful application of high temp silicon brake grease on the caliper and pad sliding surfaces and sliding bushing will help (use sparingly). Check for full caliper function with a someone while the axle...

    Horn Not Working

    Using your fingers in this part of the country (AZ) will get you shot at. The metal plunger must be in contact with the metal ring on the backside of the steering wheel to maintain the electrical connection for the horn to work when it is pressed. The plunger had worn down far enough on mine...
