Custom volume control knobs for stereo and subwoofer. I like the tech of new double din screens, but hate the distracting volume controls. These knobs are much easier to adjust volume with while keeping your eyes on the road.
Always on USB ports I wired in. Super handy for working or camping to charge stuff while the truck isn’t on.
Nice 80! Very rare! GLWS!
Do all the power accessories work, like the power windows, locks, seats?
Is there any type of 3rd row or jump seats for this? I have a lower mileage expo build 200 i would consider trading, for the right cash. I just like the styling of the 80 series and always wanted a diesel like this....
very cool 80. and much cheaper than pursuing a conversion.
is the upgraded turbo and intercooler from the 1HDT-FTE?
what kind of mileage do you get? any issues going 80mph?
trailer wiring 12V?
was the TJM lift just their coil springs, or did it have anything else changed?
i, too would be looking for a third row seat set. i'm in Texas but i would have to call the DMV to ask about having zero emissions stuff, when the truck was originally sold with emissions. some places here are sticklers about that.

I don’t have the 3rd row jump seats. They are pretty easy to find on craiglslist though, a lot of guys yank them out and sell them cheap. Let me know the details on your 200 and how much cash you would want along with a trade.
The 80 styling is pretty hard to beat. It’s a pretty great classic look.

I’m not sure about the turbo and intercooler. I believe it was a Canadian knockoff of an Australian safari turbo upgrade? Not sure though it was a few years back lynchmob was explaining it all to me. I want to say it’s not a Toyota one though.
I don’t do a lot of long road trips, and a fair amount of my time is doodling around my property doing projects. That kind of driving I get about 16-17 mpg. I’ve seen 19 mpg before on tanks where I did some longer hwy drives.
I’ve never been close to 80mph, I’m in kind of a hilly coastal area in Oregon where the limit on the freeway is 65mph. It’s a five speed, but if I was in the desert or a place where I was doing high speeds I would prob slap some 35” tires on it.
Yes it’s got trailer wiring I pull firewood trailer and stuff all the time.
I believe the lift is just coil springs, it’s not a huge lift or anything.

Not many 5 speed part time diesel 80’s around. Especially in this condition
I agree with below and also consider some factors, engine should be the 1hdfte for 97, its also impossible to bring to California, where as a JDM truck could be. It's a great rig that I would love to own but...
I was stalking a few 5speeds that languished for sale on the east coast in the last 6mo. Both @ $17500 forever.....then one dropped to 14,500 and the seller said I could get it for $13500. needless to say i passed - mainly because I just don’t see paying that much of a premium for sub 20mpg diesel. funny enough the seller said he was selling it and picking up one with 1fz with half the miles and half the price. niche market makes this is tough sale over $17k unless mileage is real low.
It’s a great rig but the premium prices are a holdover from the days when there were less alternatives
Cherokees and Explorers are cheap rigs LC's not. For the few that actually know and have had the pleasure of owning a lhd 1HDT 5 speed cruiser there is no comparison to the gaz guzzling soccer mom FJ/FZJ80 you guys got here.I have driven 80 series most of my life but after living a few years in the US and having owned a few FJ and FZJ80's I looked for alternatives.
28K is not for everyone and it might take a while to find the right buyer but the lhd 1HDT/5 speed can't be compared with the mostly rhd 1hdt/auto vs and especially not with the domestic models.Just look at the market in Aus where they sold both models at the same time the second hand diesel trucks are in much higher demand at premium prices over the sometimes in better condition gassers (they where used as grocery getters )
Just my 2 cents
I am constantly looking all over the globe for lhd Diesel Cruisers and clean 80's in Europe are selling these days around 20 to 25K unless they have a million miles.
The days of finding a cheap nice lhd diesel 80 with low miles for cheap are gone!
