[LX_TREME]

I guess all the 80 owners around the world showed the true mileage in their cruiser, so im wondering who has the highest mileage here? And tell one thing or name part you haven’t replace it since you own the 80s.And YES name the part you haven't replace it not the one you already replace it

I don't thin english is his first language.....but basically i think he is asking what main parts are still original after all the milage.

I have 184,000 on the clock and have only replaced battery, front pinion seal, few hoses, PHH and brake pads.

94- 329,000 head gasketx2. uses oil and is a bit weak (tiring- I have had it since it lost its cherry at 100,000) drivetrain is all the same, I run synthetics in all areas and I believe that and the fact it is a Land Cruiser has been what has led to a long life.

Every day I wonder what next, not that it would bother me if something broke or went out (its earned its keep well, I am not kind on vehicles- theyre only metal)

now that sounds much cooler than 329000!!! your makin me blush I drive across country a few times a year, and it has never left me stranded yet!! (knock on wood) it does blow a little bit of smoke at start up and I am currently looking for a low mileage replacement (engine) I may rebuild tranny while out and have a more heavy duty valve body put inside with all those other working parts.

I'm wondering how Spike would fare posting on a forum with native Japanese speakers. I'm guessing a *lot* worse than anyone who happens to be ESL on this forum.

90k mi. and no major probs. A part I haven't replaced: HG. Hope I'm not jinxing myself by saying that.

you have been here since May 05 and you wonder about this. LX has been around that long as well and its pretty well documented that its not his first language. How many do you speak?

 

[lagwagon]

English is my first and Ebonics is my second, My parents got the "hooked on Ebonics" instead of "hooked on phonics"- some sorta shipping error!

LIttle off topic, but after looking at those pictures. What is the other black plug/dot on the speedo opposite of the odometer reset and right below the needle at the moment?

That's a gromet. Behind it is the reset switch for the Timing Belt Warning System for diesel 80's.
