Your next step would be doug's head gasket DVD, do you see any coolant in the oil vise versa?

Woooo Hoooo! Back in the saddle again!

I had a 93 for about 10 years. I sold it in 08. A few weeks after selling, I wished I had it back. But now the good news. I picked this 94 up on Wednesday!

HOT DIGGITY DANG.

It feels good to be back behind the wheel of an 80. 202,000 miles, I just removed the running boards. Runs great.

The rear for mine just blinks too, although it does work. I expect it is just the sensor for it and haven't bothered testing/fixing it yet.

Check the wiring at the actuator first, go simple

Nice! For some reason I think I may have seen this one when I was looking. Not sure though.

Running board removal mod ... good choice. Think I might do that this weekend actually. Thanks for inspiring me! lol

Antenna a 50$ fix and car wash bought the emblem, 140$....****. Oh & they had no kids and originally bought it at 38k miles, repainted. Not a single crack in the leather. Taken care of very well, doesn't burn a drop of oil, I was blessed! ...

Nice Bumper - are you able to get a winch in there?

 

[Tempered117]

Thanks. Yeah it actually was designed for one and has the cut outs covered by the front plate. I really don't know what kind of winch fits in there though. I have to find an expert to identify it.

Well, if you are planning on doing any wheeling then you will probably want a 12k, but if not and just doing some light offroading then you can probably get by with an 8 or 9k. Looks like you would be able to fit one in there but might have to mod it a bit. They also make the winch baskets that you attach to a front hitch mount. Might be somethign to consider if there is not enough room, but I think you'll get by. Keep us posted!

My first 80

Test drove a LC a few months back off a lot. It had to many glitches and the dealer wanted $6,000 for a 97 with 275,000 on the clock.
So I did a crazy thing and bought one off Ebay 2,500 miles from my location. Made an offer and the dealer excepted it and shipped it out. I know I over paid but the deal is done $9,800 delivered.
Has 95,500 miles, no leaks, very clean body, interior is clean leather is pretty good, drives great, and the oil looks good.
Did not include a spare tire, the trim around the sunroof is busted in the front and corners, antenna makes noise but doesn't move.
Took it to a local Toyota only mechanic he put in a new battery and the hold down (that was missing too), put in plugs, changed the anti freeze, and said the wheel bearings are loose and birfs needed rebuilt.
I have been slowly doing the birfs myself they were not in bad shape no juice, bearings looked fine just loose wheel bearings on one side. Rebuilt them anyway.
Got Jonseys kit with slotted rotors but noticed the soft brake lines are in bad shape. Have purchased soft brake lines from the dealer and rebuilt calipers from Napa for the front, just have to put them on now. I am a 1 mechanic but no problems yet.

I have always liked the 80s. A buddy of mine bought one new way back in 1994 and I have liked them since. My first 4wd was a 87 FJ60 way back in 1991, I was only 17yrs old when I bought that truck. Then no Cruisers for me for almost 20yrs. I had a 04 Tacoma and almost got an 80 when I got rid of it in 2011 but instead got an FJ60. I loved that truck but after only a year of owning it had to sell it. At the time I shied away from 80s cause I am not a fan of the stock engine and wanted less electricals, again at the time. A buddy had gotten an 80 about the same time and I was out of a truck so I went on a bunch of trips with him in his 80. That is when they really started growing on me. Fast forward a few years and the right deal and right truck came along. Now I am rocking the 80 and really liking it a lot. I also have an FJ60/62 project but am liking this v8 80 so much I may never get rid of it! Hey, nothing wrong with owning more than one Cruiser!

Cheers
