Absolutely agree with all these points. Especially the bold underlined ones. Mud is a huge resource, the guys and gals here really do a great job of helping others out. They are also especially good at throwing the mud, I have been the recipient more than once. This is a guys club for the most part. Busting of balls is part of the culture and there are some experts at it here.So, you're delusions go way beyond vehicles I see!
There's loads of threads where people come and ask advice on should I buy this cruiser or that.
Many are totally clueless about vehicles in general. And go into buying them with rise coloured glasses on.
80s and landcruisers in general are not cheap one way or another.
If you have to pay someone to repair or maintain them they can bleed you dry!
finding a shop that's good solid knowledge on them is a whole other ordeal.
If you're capable of wrenching on it yourself, and buy with eyes wide open, they are tough and reliable, good to work on, and fun to drive. You might even manage to redeem your man card if you steer away from Heeps
Oh, and there's a right knit group here in mud. They'll give you flak, and also bend over backwards to help, online and on the trail, or in other ways, but ya gotta be willing to help yourself too. The more info you can give with questions, the more help you'll get.
There's no issue with these trucks that hasn't been figured out at some point in the last 30 years.
And there's countless inane questions (should i buy this truck, his much is this 80 worth, should i buy triple locked, and how long is a piece of string) that are repeated daily.
your dash makes mine look filthyThis happened over the weekend.

The best thing about it is zero engine oil consumption and more power, full stop. Nostalgia is a powerful drug.
- 20K miles on all Toyota fresh 1ZF-FE long block (except valve cover which I didn't know was still available)
- Coolant was leaking from cyl 6 at 278K so got busy
- Took about 6 months and $30K to source parts, coordinate with machine shop + LC shop for the engine transplant which included other while-in-there-work
I over paid for all my clapped out shat, so nothing constructive to add here, I’m more of a buy hi sell low kinda guy… whatever costs the most and takes the longest…. That’s what I want…. FML…Two 1500 landcruisers side by side with less combined mileage and the one is triple locked granted one is for parts it has 137k to fix another 95 triple locked that I paid 1600 for

I laugh at all the CA and TX folks that are screaming about "rust".DONE, as in done with your Chardonnay? Do LC guys actually look down on Jeep guys? I'm not brand loyal and drove a Tacoma for 12 years before it got wrecked. I like Toyotas just as much as I like older Jeeps with the I6. If it bothers people I won't ask anymore questions though.
