But are you willing to move??? Sorry, I messed up finding the name I wanted.

BUT... you’re in Houston? I might be there twice in the next few months. Always looking to eat or drink with a Mudder.

Let me know when your in town and I'll buy you a beer!
 
I'm In staunton and work in Charlottesville.

Pretty sure I've seen a couple of you guys around the area before. Next time I'll wave.

I'm signed up for the fall crawl but I've got a pretty nasty exhaust leak that's causing the fzj stumble and I also don't have any sliders.
Working on fixing both issues before the meet.

I live in Charlottesville. Here is is my FZJ80. Purchased last July :)

Since getting this vehicle last July, it started out burning 1-2 quarts of oil every gas fill up, so around 200 miles. Since 2019 it burns that same amount of oil, but every 500 or so miles. I use 15w-40 oil and do oil changes around every 5,000 miles or so. I purchased it with 273,000 on it, and it's my daily driver. I know it's running "fine" rn, but I've been thinking about either doing a chevy swap, or a full engine rebuild. I don't have the money right now, but would like to save up. What'd you guys think? Chevy swap or engine rebuild?

Neither would be cheap, that's a lot of consumption though so you're going to need to make a decision at some point. Lots of opinions out there but IMO the whole point of a land cruiser is the bullet proof reliability and the beefy inline 6s in these are just that. I'd do a full rebuild of your engine and slap on a Wits End turbo if you can swing it. That would be the best of both worlds.
