Looking at past discussions comparing these two seem to cover the general differences, feel, etc. I'd like to discuss the off road capability and reliability between the two.
My friends all have Jeeps and I'm the only Toyota in our group. So far we've been doing mild/medium trails but they will progress to more difficult trails. We're all new to off-roading.
The only modifications done to my GX are a 2" lift and 33 AT's. I'm not planning on doing much else other than basic armor.
I feel like that IFS is my biggest limiting factor, not only in it's capability, but reliability considering failures of CV's, tie rods, etc. on the trail.
I'd like to know how much more capable and reliable an 80 series will be over my GX. If it's worth it for me to sell and look for one.
I definitely don't want to be the one to get stuck or break down while my Jeep friends drive off into the sunset.
