It's legit. Buddy of Todd's.
Funny thing, he posted the link from the guy he bought it from and it was listed for $18,500

I got to thinking.... it's still 17 years old and age, not miles, breaks gaskets and rubber seals down... it'll require the same maintenance that a 200+ mile 80 will and those are MUCH cheaper... good for someone though, just not me.

$20K and immediately needs a front axle job. LOL.
edit: Oh my Shunt! I've wheeled with this truck before.

That's why it's worth $20K.
My thoughts exactly......can you imagine what kind of 80 you could build with $20,000?

Frackin fawk. I wish I was in the market for one !
I'm evidently missing something on this one.......
I really like the 40th anniversary version of the 80 series landcruiser. To me its the best looking 80 period. now add lockers, a supercharger, good interior, and accessories. I really don't like the 175,000 miles though.
I agree with you David you can build a serious 80 for 20k. If i was in the market this one would be real tempting. if i had the choice between the built 40th or a stock 40th with sub 100k miles. Both 80s being in the same condition. i would choose the 40th 80 with lower miles.
Less wear and tear on the whole truck is more appealing to me. I don't care for performing maintenance but i love upgrades!

It's a 13-15K truck at best IMO.
It would take 10k or more to get that truck like it is right now. If you started with a $5000 truck then you are still dealing with a 14 year old truck.

I guess I'm confused at what you're saying. Is his 80 "worth every penny" as you stated in his for sale thread or is it a "13-15K truck at best"? I guess I'm not following.
I'm of the belief it's more like a 13-15K rig, but you know more about this stuff than I could ever imagine!
Knowing the guy's current situation I am trying to help him with his inflated price...just not with my local club

AHHhhhhhh... I got ya.
Sorry. I was trying to read between the lines and couldn't
I picked up my tires today. Everything looks great.
I will have to do a little rear mudflap trimming but overall they fit good.
I will surely have to lower bumpstops and sway bar brackets and other stuff but the lift is right for the tires.
I will twist it up tomorrow.
