<Driving an 80 is like driving a dead horse.>
I slipped this one in about 2/3 of the way down the list...
Wow, for all the hostility in this thread you would think we were comparing jxxps and Toyotas!
My own opinion is tha the 100 is built far superior to the 80...it's quieter, smoother, more powerful, etc (Notice I said 'built', not designed, you might not like the IFS design or some other things but the build quality is 2nd to none). Those are undisputed facts from testing, however when you compare offroad prowless (I think that's a word), that gets very iffy to me. Determining which is best by what you can make it up is not a good comparison either, since driver/tires/conditions all dramatically affect that.
I applaud John for building and wheeling his 100, several people need to do that to get the word out, just like Christo did several years ago, I'm sure he got a ton of "WTF is he doing with a LAND CRUISER!!" looks and questions when he was first wheeling his 80.
So, wheel on...and please focus just 1/3 of the bitching-energy seen here to develop some cool products, or to convince a friend to buy a Toyota...

My 4Runner will spank all the 100's and 80's 
Having wheeled an 80 hard, build the ShortBus to wheel even harder, I have realized on thing. For pure rock crawling etc, the weight of either the 80 or 100 kill it. Yes they are awsome up to a point, then it all goes to hell.
There is a reason my friends call ShortBus, Shamu. When she beaches, she is stuck.
Other than that, you can take either truck, modified or unmodified, new or old anywhere you want, if you have the balls and the wallet to do it. That is all I have to say about it.

I have not psoted here at all as this tread parrells what is happening on the 100 series list. But is has made for some interesting reading. later robbie
Yes Dan pull that trigger on that sub tank, it for me, paid for it self in the first 2 years of drivng my crusier as much as I do. Be perpared to either add spacers or stiffer springs as well.

Thanks Robbie,
I'm going with an OEM sub and I have 863's so I think I have enough spring. I have a set of pre-owned 864's if I need them.

Oh Christo.....you're opening a new bag of worms! You're right though. Dang, I've wheeled with some Taco's that simply spank my 80. SPANK!
*********************************************************************
Here's a paste from the 100 forum I should share with ya all on this thread:
Absolutely Robbie. Maybe I'm having too much fun on this forum? I take this all in fun, even the digs. On these treads in particular I wait axiously for one's next come-back. Some have been hilarious. I'm also in sales, so that might shed some light regarding whatever vs whatever? I'm in here sellin' sometimes and that's some of the fun of it (for me).
I can tell that some people can get pretty worked up about comments. Being writing it's hard to tell one's true intent behind it. To those, sorry if I "worked you up".
Any how, I'll be taking THE 80 out this weekend with a bunch of Jeep buddies. We'll have a blast together. They know I have the utmost respect for their Jeeps (just like I do my Rover buddies, and my Taco buddies....etc.). That might surprise you by the way I post in here. Reality is, in real life, I don't put anybody's ride down....well, H2's are close.
I might also add that while I might like my 100 better, I probably have more respect for my 80 (???) because of what I can do in it. (Don't repeat that anybody!)
Hmmm... i see this thread will leads us to nowhere.. 
Can we just get along...

Dang, it sounds like you guys are going to kiss and make up. I was hoping for a "Triple Dog Dare" and a showdown in Moab!
Andy -
Once again, can't do Moab. Remember, baby's coming in April!
But by Rubithon, hopefully I should be able to get the "get out of jail free" card from Debbie! I thought about getting some of the dents fixed on the 80, especially the big one I got on Cadillac two years ago, but I'm planning to add more this June, so I guess it would be moot.
Wanna come over this weekend and help me put in the winch and sub-tank?

Knaw......I put "probably respect...."
Showdown? No contest. While the 100 might get a "pretty ribbon" it won't beat out 80's on the trail.

Can't say that. Don't know. And by the way.....when did you ever hear me say "turbo" 80? Never did cuz I never ran against one.
I've always said "blown" or "S/C". I have a buddy with one and pull away from him. Todd K confirmed this too as he has a blown 80 and a 100.
So you're OK TURBOCRUISER. I've never said I can beatcha!
Ok, I just glanced through this thread, but I am still confused. What is the general consensus? Is the 80 better or the 100?
