Hello just wanted to say hi to the 80 series community, i found this forum a few days ago and decided to join since my father left me a stock '96 Land Cruiser, I'm here to learn more about this truck and get some information on mods and other stuff, looking forward to start modding, here are some pictures taken today after a some what fast interior/exterior wash

I'd say im a 1/2 mechanic but im here to learn some more, my main problem is that i don't have any money :/, im currently 16 and in high school which doesn't let me get a job, but surely i will upgrade this truck

Congrats and welcome.


But 16......you can easily be working...how else are you going to fund your new addiction.

Had a job starting at 12 years old. By 16, I was wasting every penny on my first car. If you love your Cruiser, get a job and work your butt off! How else are you going to teach yourself bad saving/spending habits?

Nice Cruiser!

Welcome, you will find this site a wealth of information. Start by doing "baseline" maintenance as you get funds. Read the FAQ on here and ask for help when you need it.

The next time you buy a battery, get one with the posts swapped compared to yours. Your wiring harness may thank you.

Oh, and that duct tape on your intake tube should probably be replaced with a new intake tube or you'll be on here asking why it shudders on acceleration and stuff like that.
