The time has come to sell my 80. It has been great vehicle to me but I need to move on to something slightly smaller and more economical.
Overall, the truck is in pretty solid condition. Sitting right now at 196k miles, has no mechanical issues and no rust (originally from Arkansas). The truck itself runs great, clean idle and smooth acceleration. The maintenance has been well-kept, oil changes every 3-4k miles, diff & x-fer case fluids were swapped about 5k miles ago, and the transmission was flushed about 12k miles back. I recently did a tune-up and replaced the plugs, air filter, hoses, and belts. I also added a new Interstate battery.
The modifications done include an ARB front bumper with a Warn VR10000 winch. Also have a Yakima rail system on the roof which may or may not come included with the truck. It has an aftermarket JVC head unit installed by the PO, along with a remote start key fob (also installed by PO) which I don't use but is fully functional.
I've used the truck as a daily driver my entire ownership, it's been a few long trips as well. The biggest being Arkansas to Delaware. I've never had any problems with it, it's a damn reliable truck.
I've saved the not so good quirks for last. The biggest issue with the truck is the CEL. It's throwing the dreaded P0401 code, I simply haven't had the time or motivation to get in there to diagnose it. Also, another issue is it's got a small oil leak which appears to be coming from the oil pump. Probably an easy fix, I'd guess replacing the gasket would solve that problem but it must be noted. It loses about a quart every 3k miles. Another minor issue is the power antenna is stuck and won't move on it's own. It can still be moved manually however. Lastly, the backlights for the buttons on the A/C have gone out which can make them difficult to see at night.
I've done my best to describe the truck for you. It really is a special vehicle that I will miss. These things are becoming ever increasingly harder to find in good condition and I believe they'll eventually become a classic much like the FJ40 & 60.
