He has found a candidate in Waltoboro and is asking if there is a local person he can have go through the rig to make sure he’s not going down the wrong path. He’s certainly willing to pay for the service. Does...

    1992 FJ80 Review

    Hi, found a 1992 FJ80 center locked that's semi local for sale. 198K miles for just under 6K. I've heard the 91-92 years are not as desirable as the later years but curious to know if this is worth checking out based on year / miles. Anything specific with this model that I should look for?

    I am in the process of purchasing this rig out of state GA - '78 FJ40 - 3FE - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/rv5m5mfdtl8v3014nzn04/h?rlkey=a879mmnxlq0e71u0nz1ltr23v&dl=0 , subject to inspection, and it's nowhere near any of the Land Cruiser specialists I've seen listed here or elsewhere. I am...

    Consider this Rust a deal Breaker?

    I’m looking at this one with 120K miles. It’s exceptionally clean but this is the pic of the undercarriage. I can’t get to it in person so thought I’d ask you experts….deal breaker at $18-$22K?

    Pre-Purchase Inspection options in Spokane for a 2006 LC

    I'm flying to look at a 2006 Land Cruiser in Spokane. After going through the complete dealer service history, conversations with the owner, and pictures it looks like a good vehicle, and we agreed on a price. I've purchased many 3rd gen 4runners but never a LC, I've read through Slee's 100...

    Anyone done a Texas inspection recently?

    I’m putting my engine back together, (1994) and Im waffling on putting the EGR back on. It’s disabled either way, but I’d love to just put the block off plates on the head and intake for a number of reasons. Since we are all over 25 years now, the reg says we get just a “safety” inspection, but...

    Talk me out, or in, new to LC

    Hi All, I am new to Land Cruiser, but the J80 has been a dream since I was a kid. I like the sturdy design and reliability. But the overinflated price of JDM especially in California, have always kept me afar. I did not plan on buying one but I saw a deal on a Lexus version (non-locked) that...

    Will desmogged 60 pass Vermont inspection?

    Been thinking of the potential purchase of a 60 or 80. Growing up my grandfather had a 65 Fj40 soft top and a 74, both bought new. Now that I’ve retired I think I’d like to rekindle the LC relationship. I see that Vermont is a CARB state but not sure how that applies to older vehicles. From...

    84 FJ60 purchase advice

    Looking at a 250k vehicle this week. Same owner past 20 years. I’ve gathered that it has been maintained at a local shop but suspect no major systems services or updates. So far, photos look pretty solid for rust and condition, one rear quarter panel spot. Tires seem decent from photos. I’m...
