1. 1997 FZJ80 40th Anniversary Edition
2. Gavin
3. No name yet; will let my son decide
4. 150k ish
5. Dobinson lift and larger tires
6. This will be my son's DD
Back in an 80 after about a decade. I traded the '76 40 series in my avatar pic for a '97 40th Anniversary Ed.
My son will be driving this year, and I wanted something more reliable and a bit more safe w ABS and airbags, so I traded another MUD member from TX for it.
My boy and I will have time to fix some small things on it, and he'll start learning maintenance for it, so I'm pleased.

1992 FJ80
owner: Tim H.
name: Mbogo2 - Mbogo is Swahili for Cape buffalo. My ‘25 LC250 is Mbogo1
258,000 miles
Mods: truck is new to me but came with a full prinsu roof rack, ugly 17” wheels and crappy 265/70/r17 tires, and a light bar that isn’t currently hooked up. I will probably do quite a bit to it eventually but starting with getting the engine in much better shape (it runs great but has a few small leaks and needs quite a bit of maintenance and updating worn out parts ), and fixing things that are wrong like dome lights, rear bumper rust, etc. before I start on any major mods.
Use: will be used for hunting, bad weather, and hauling around anything I don’t want to put in our nicer vehicles. I imagine I will drive it a fair amount for normal stuff just because I always wanted an 80 and think they are so cool. (Photos updated after new wheels/tires and a few other additions)

Nice looking rig (but agree with you on the wheels).
If you aren't already a member of The Kentucky Land Cruiser Association, join up. There are group rides throughout the year... and most take in different parts of The Daniel Boone Back Country Byway. Always good fun, and good people.
Will do, didn’t even know about it. The wheels eventually will go! Considering some Steelies but not sure. It will be a while. Need a lot of other things first. Thx!

Those are some pretty sweet seats in the rear; never have seen that style before.
The kids love sitting back there with friends. Previous owner said they were Toyota seats
.
I think they might be troop carrier style seats from a 70 series. But thats only based on a quick google search. The 40s have center facing seats like that too.The kids love sitting back there with friends. Previous owner said they were Toyota seats
1. 1997 LX450
2. Eric
3. Like the 60 before it, we just call it the 80
4. 224K miles
5. OME heavy suspension, it's been awhile but I needed 25mm front spacers to level it. Refurb'd OEM LC wheels and 35" Nitto Trail Grapplers and some Hella lighting are about it.
Purchased about 15 years ago, this was originally a mall cruiser, softly sprung and squishy all around. Had the "wood" trim applique stuff everywhere inside, gold badging, etc. But I bought it for its condition, 3X locked, its low mileage (only 70K) and as a starting point. Plus the extra sound deadening and Lexus creature comforts were welcome. No hard wheeling really just a go-anywhere family truckster. Can get to some very remote trails and fishing spots with her.

Hi!
My name is Matthew from Hungary, this is my Land Cruiser. I am the 16th lucky person to own it.
1992 HDJ 80
Matthew
Wilbur Walsh
Only 431598km
I have many plans but unfortunately don't have enough time for these plans yet. He now rolls with a basic Ironman suspension kit. I already have the new one (Trail Master by Maas), but the time is not yet right to replace it.
It is an everyday family car, and we use it for trips on weekends.
