For the past two years I’ve been looking for an FZJ80 to restore/refresh for my personal daily driver. I caught the Land Cruiser affliction back in 2018 and have had a couple dozen of Land Cruisers since. This is my first 80 and I’m thrilled to share the progress with all of you and some fun little things about the build.
A little bit about the rig - it’s a 1997 Desert Dune on Moonglow with Oak factory triple locked cruiser that spent 1 year in Pennsylvania and the rest of its life in Port Angeles, Washington. 2 owner rig and it was owned by an older couple and was the wife’s daily driver for 18 years. I purchased it in January and it was in great condition - albeit it was neglected with some major services/restoration I was willing to tackle.
Here are some photos from the classifieds listing and a photo after I drove it home next to a 100 series I had for a couple months
First photo current set-up in July of 2025
