    Valuation of an 80 series

    I plan to move my automobile insurance for my Landcruiser to Hagerty or one of the other insurers who will cover aftermarket parts. I have quite a bit gear on my vehicle and want to get reimbursed for more than just the stock 80 series in the event of a serious accident. I have accumulated a...

    Arm rest for the 80 series that works

    I have been driving my 80 series since 1997. I have made some very long trips and grew tired of not having an arm rest. I bought my wife a 2007 LX 470 (100 series Landcruiser) and right away I noticed the increased comfort an arm rest affords. At the end of December (27th) I saw a post by...

    How to drive an 80-series off-road

    In July, I posted a thread: Lockers, why you want them and how/when to use them: Lockers - why you want them and how/when to use them I installed ARB lockers in my 1995 80-series in 2010. Until I installed them in my rig I had never been in a vehicle off-road that had lockers. I obviously...

    Lockers - why you want them and how/when to use them

    I am not an agent for ARB. I work for a technology company that has nothing to do with off-roading. I am posting this up because I have seen several threads recently where newbies obviously didn't understand what lockers did and why they are helpful. I am posting this in the 80 tech section...

    Need a bracket to mount my ARB CKMA12 Compressor

    When I first purchased my compressor, I mounted it on the wheel well behind the windshield washer fluid reservoir. I now want to relocate the windshield washer fluid reservoir and the compressor in order to install a second battery. I can get everything I need to install the second battery and...

    Dyneema SK-75 synthetic winch rope for a Warn 12,000 lb winch

    I have an 80 series and since mostly 80 series LCs use 12,000 lb winches, I put this on the 80 tech forum. My metal cable is shot. One too many recoveries so it is bent up and fraying. I am interested in swapping to synthetic and I have read that Dyneema SK-75 is the way to go. I have...

    Will an Air Locker freeze up in cold weather when an Electronic Locker won't

    Do Air Lockers have a higher propensity for freezing up in extremely cold weather than electrical lockers? I have a brother in law that lives in Montana. He wheels nearly every day and does so in some seriously rough terrain. I took him wheeling with me this fall in an area of Texas that...

    Talimena Scenic Trail

    My wife and I would like to take a long weekend vacation and drive the Talimena Scenic Trail. I would really appreciate some Oklahoma Cruisers recommendations for a good cabin out in the sticks somewhere off this highway. A "good" cabin is one that is really clean and well maintained but not...

    Performance comparison of locked FZJ80 and Jeep Rubicon

    Know of any wheeling videos that show a locked FZJ80 and a 4-door Jeep Rubicon with similar lifts, gearing, armor and tires? I am simply looking for an apples to apples comparison between the two vehicles. I haven't wheeled with anyone who owned one and was just curious how they stacked up to...

    Excel-based Maintenance Log for the 80 Series

    Does anyone have an Excel spreadsheet for keeping up with the maintenance on the 80 series? If not, I plan to create one and I'll post it up after I have it done. If someone does have it, it will save the rest of us a lot of work. I am aware that there is one provided with the vehicle but...

    Odyssey Battery for an 80 series

    I have done a ton of research and have come to the conclusion that all things considered an Odyssey battery is the best overall choice. With that said, I bought the battery that Odyssey indicated was the right one for the 80 series and it is a 34R-PC1500T-A. I got it out of the box and it...

    New Gears and ARB Lockers - ringing / humming sound

    I recently had ARB Lockers and Nitro gears installed in my 95 80 series. When I hit about 73 mph and let off the gas, I get a metal on metal ringing or humming sound. It is fairly loud and sounds like it is coming from the front diff. I have had my 80 since 97 so I am very familiar with...

    Do you keep up the body on your 80 series

    One of the interesting things I have noticed on mud is the varying degrees to which people care for the body of their 80 Series. In fact, many signature blocks proudly proclaim that their vehicle is dented. Vehicles that are maintained in pristine condition are referred to as a "Princess"...
