Took delivery of my first 100/470 series. Bought sight unseen and was very concerned about general condition but more or less pleased. All original body panels. No rust from NC. No service history but general appearance leads me to believe it wasn't complelty neglected. Long list of PM to begin...
Where did you source your key blanks? Did they include the fob? A master was cut that opens the glove box without having a copy of the master? I'm in the same situation, valet only key for my recently acquired 2000 LX 470. Ability to lock glovebox would be nice but not necessary. Remote fob is...

Purchased this vehicle as a family daily driver from North Carolina. Has been a great family rig! Have had no problems during ownership. Drives much nicer than any of the other 80’s I have owned. Roof rack has been removed (have the...
If you are involved or become involved with a Cruiser club I bet you can find either a buddy to help with the job and lend some space or at least a line on a good mechanic to do the job. Posting in one of the club forums for a mechanic may result in a better lead than what you have already...
If I had to pay a mechanic to do repairs on any of my vehicles, I'd own a new Honda Civic. :doh: I couldn't afford to own a FZJ80 if I had to pay a mechanic to maintain/repair it.
You could likely replace the whole vehicle for $4,000.00. Another $1,000 or so and you can buy an 80 in good...
At frist sight I iuwld say $7,500 to $8,000. Great looking truck but for $10k you could own two. Really depends on the PM though. If it was VERY well kept and most big PM items are done, the guy who wants to buy and not work on his Cruiser himself might justify spending $10k. That guy is not me...
Looking for an 80
Don't exclude a 93 to 97 in your search, 95 to 97 if you must have airbags and OBDII. Be willing to travel. I bought two in the last year both were under $7,000, both need PM but even if I completed a full PM (doing the work myself) both would have been well under $10k. Both...
