Hi folks. I regretted selling my last 80 and will likely regret selling this one. However, it seems like it is time to move on to a 100 series.

The Good:

-1997 Collectors Edition
-263,000
-Two tone Gray with Oak interior (quite possibly the rarest and most desirable color combination)
-Disco Cup holder
-second and third row reclining seats.
-Aussie locked rear (works flawlessly)
-Pin 7 + CDL
-ARB non winch bumper with AC skid
-Slee headlight harness + Aux harness
-Slee step sliders
-Slee transfer case skid plate
-Rear DVD entertainment system (for the kiddos)
-TJM 2.5 inch lift with factory shocks.
-Airlift airbags in rear coils (edit: both are blown)
-750w power inverter located in rear quarter panel wired to plugs in cargo area
-On board air compressor in rear quarter panel with air plumbed to a quick disconnect in the right rear cubby.
-Extra power ports X3 One on passenger side, one in second row and one in third row.
-All power to the rear provided by a ginormous cable (with fuse) that used to power a big amp. Aux Fuse block in rear panel and under center console.
-Cobra 18WXSTII (weather capable) CB with antenna (not sure I want to leave this in the rig, but it is negotiable)
-100w inverter in dash (see pic above radio)
-Temp gauge mod...Never overheats
-blue fan clutch
-New radiator at 240k
-LED light bar wired into modded heater switch... Left position they come on with the brights, center is off, right position they come on by themselves. Very bright!
-285 Cooper ATs with about 90% tread. These handle great on all surfaces and wheel reasonably well. 285 spare as well.
-AC blows very cold
-drivers seat bottom is in good shape, seat back is rough. Another complete rough seat is included.
-power seats are all fully functional. (just tested the passenger side, and it appears that the gear is stripped as it makes noise, but won't slide forward)
-all other seats are in great shape
-pioneer cd player, working factory stereo also included.

Maintenance:
-Entire EGR system replaced at 160k
-New front Rotors at 195k
-Dist O-ring replaced at 195k
-Wheel bearings repacked at 195k
-Rear hatch handle replaced at 166k
-Rear windshield wiper mechanism replaced at 166k
-New U-joints front and rear at 175k
-Rear Main replaced at 175k
-New belts at 195k
-New Idler pulley at 195k
-New AC condenser and recharge at 186k
-Original head gasket with no issues
-New Starter contacts at 240k
-New lights in all switches and Climate control unit.
-I am sure I am forgetting something, but I'll check my log book and see what else I did..
-New interstate battery Nov 2019
-New muffler 2016

Parts included:
-New toyota thermostat and gasket
-Landtank seat brackets with all hardware may be included.
I think I have some other parts that I haven't hung yet--I'll update as I find them


The Bad:

-Couple small wheeling dents--you seriously have to look for them to see them.
-A couple small rust spots on the rear hatch
-This has been wheeled a lot. The armor has taken the brunt of the damage, but there is some rock rash on the diffs, the control arm mounts and the frame.
-A good bit of surface rust underneath from being in VA, but I washed it regularly and there is no cancer.
-Valve Guide seals are leaking, so idling for more than 5 min or so results in a puff of blue smoke.
-valve cover gasket leaks a bit, but it hasn't bothered me enough to fix it.
-Burns a quart of oil every 1000 miles or so.
-leaks a little at the power steering hose.
-It is a little dirty. I'll be cleaning it this week.

Bottom line: A very nicely appointed 80 that drives like a dream, wheels like a champ and that I regularly drive on multi-day trips. Nothing wrong with it other than what I stated

Price is 5,500, open to reasonable offers...

Please PM me or post questions here. If you would like to discuss in detail, call me at 208-596-8800.

Thanks!

Dan

Forgot, to mention, I am the third owner, the second is a long time mud member also. Locking tailgate storage as pictured.
 
Bump for a great seller and guy who knows his cruisers. I own an 80 because of a trip with this rig. It will go anywhere.
 
More: Please note that the vast majority of the "rust colored" material that you see is red clay from uwharrrie. The so-called undercarriage wash at the local carwash won't touch it. Anything that has ever looked like it might be rust has been treaty yearly with fluid film.

Bump. Make an offer folks, this needs to go
 
Will you consider selling the skids and sliders seperately?

Sorry, not looking to pull any parts off.

Update though, the slee step sliders and skid plate will be staying on the 80...
