    Happy that you're still at it. I've only driven my LC for 2 weeks since July 2021 and I do miss it! I'm sure the JB weld would work, but you might want to treat yourself to an aftermarket bumper?

    I need to get one of those to replace my Haynes, which literally is falling apart. I've seen some on eBay, but they are all over $100. Where did you get yours?

    So, my wife was supposed to pull into Bay Shore this afternoon in our white 80 towing a trailer, but got cold feet and took the minivan instead :( She said she was worried about the Rockies on I70. Looking long and hard about doing an LS swap. Decisions, decisions... I'm on deployment and will...

    Is that garage in the St. James?

    What are some things you still need to get done?

    Yes, just do it! 80 Series 1FZ PCV Valve Kit and 80 Series 1FZ Curved Heater Hose Kit. HPS makes a silicone hose kit if you're into kinky stuff.

    His wife may leave him, but he'll always have the cruiser!

    Are you going to put a TEQ emblem on it?

    I don't think the hood latch is a common problem on the 80. Post pics!

    Nice! Great area! Used to go to Captree, charter a boat, and fish with my dad on the Great South Bay. BTW, did you get a new rocker? I think Mid-Island Auto Wreckers in Riverhead may have one...

    You did an outstanding job! Which Toyota dealer did you go to if you don't mind me asking?

    You bought a triple locked 80 for under 3 grand. Congrats! My buddy lost at least that much the moment he drove his new Audi off the lotβ€”and oil changes don’t cost hundreds of dollars. These vehicles are for enjoyment as you said. People spend thousands on guns, bikes, watches, golf clubs...

    Some easy things to do that will make you feel productive...replace all standard bulbs to LEDs, get a new radiator cap, and replace the PCV.

    I can't argue with your logic. She's your baby and another running 80 is a good thing!

    I just offered a suggestion to buy a cleaner 80. I'm a fellow Long Islander and searched--initially in the Tri-State area, then down south, then west of the Mississippi. I finally found a nice truck in Vegas, which ironically started out as a NY truck. Of course they are not abundant, but they...

    I'm leaning towards bludozer on this one. Messed up 80s are like troubled women--they may give you a decent ride at first, but you're gonna be regretting the emotional bond you developed with it. Better to let this go early on and find a better example. Or save it as a parts mule.
