Beautiful truckHi 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.

Daily driver/weekend desert cruiserView attachment 3880513
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)Looks clean!

While I'm not one to keep a detailed build thread, I recently finished an over-due catch up on the maintenance after several years of the cruiser just having to work as a vehicle and not a hobby.1. 96 FZJ80

The odometer is probably wrong as it has been going with uncorrected 285 tires for a good while from the PO. While not quite as "needs nothing" as the seller stated it to be, it is a solid truck. It came with a rear ARB locker (new in a box) but I had to sell that to make up for all the parts I have had to purchase already...where is my holiday card CDan???
Have cleaned the inside for what must be the first time in years, cleaned the undercarriage and painted some minor surface rust on axles/suspension/steering parts, installed the stock height OME springs, shocks, steering stablizier, fixed a few minor things like washer fluid and an oil change and adding grease here and there.
PO did the headgasket work and top end rebuild/valve job and said he changed all the driveline fluids.
I am about to dive into a full rear axle service with seals/bearings/brake calipers and pads and do a brake fluid flush (what appeared to be a leaking caliper is a puking axle seal), oh and replace the rubber parts around the cargo sliding window (got a nice leak).
Future plans are to put the winch and small air compressor from my pickup on the cruiser, put on some fog lights that are just sitting around from trading the oversized Hellas, and get new tires next year if my truck will hurry up and sell. Also want to paint the wheels dark gray, take off the fender flares and roof rack and fix some rust under the rack at some point.
