Hi all... posted in the forum a few times already so I might as well put my car in here. Long time Toyota guy but this is actually my first Landcruiser. Got obsessed with them after watching too many australian 4WD shows over the last years. 
Was initially looking for a 100 or 200 but then picked up this 80 towards the end of last year, spent a lot of hours on it already but its all part of the fun.

Looks clean!
Original owner was Toyota employee then service manager at a dealership for 20+ years before taking an ownership/management stake at a Harley dealership where I worked. He took AMAZING care of this vehicle for 300k+ miles. I was extremely lucky to be first in line when he decided to get something new in 2020. I bought it, drove it for 6 months, then had to store it for a few years. Now I've brought it out to New Mexico since I retired.(California vehicle)

Nice looking truck my Khmer family. Welcome to the darkside. Is she triple locked?
Happy new Year by the way.
Susadei! Happy new year! Thank you!
She's not currently triple locked. Hopefully by the end of this year. I'm in the market for 94+ complete axles. If you know anyone or a place that has them for sale, please let me know.

Hi All!
I've already posted a few times, maybe now time for a official registry intro I grew up with a 1991 HDJ80 that my family had for a very long time. Spent thousands of hours in that car as a kid, also pretty much the first car I ever drove myself. Now supper happy owner of a rust free FZJ80! I got her about a year ago and she's kept me busy. Engine didn't run initially, and because of all the things. Suspension also had lots of quirks. After all types of maintenance and troubleshooting, finally 
approaching some state of reliability, driving stability and comfort.
I got her out of Miami Florida and trailered all the way back to Utah. I've travelled quite a bit across Utah and beyond with her, but 99% so far on the trailer as reliability, confidence and comfort just wasn't there. Now looking forward to some first longer trips!
Going forward I don't plan any big changes, mostly planning to improve the overall condition with further fixing remaining little issues.
1. 1993 FZJ80
2. Marcel
3. "she"
4. 297k miles
5. Mods
- 3.5" OME lift (well, maybe 2" + front spacers and low weight)
- flipped radius arms
- custom VAF-to-MAF conversion (separate thread coming)
- 37s, no re-gear and I love it
- e-locker in the rear
- home made light high clearance front bumper with hitch mount for winch
- really cool paint job, I think
6. Mostly offroad day trips, some light rock crawling, driving around town for fun
7.
In the Arizona strip! Explored it extensively over the new years break. Never getting further than a day hike away from the trailer or some other settlement, though
Happy place - on the trailer!
Not sure if I should add this, but here we go: This is me at about 18 years old, having just spent the past day or two under the hood of the HDJ80, trying to get the turbocharger out to fix an issue with the wastegate preventing it from making proper boost. First somewhat more involved car repair I've done. This was in the early 2000s. Still happy every time I hear a 1HD-T running!
