Found an 80 Series after buying LC 100

[Stealthmode]

You could go on a bender and buy four 40’s to distill and curate down into 3/4 of one. It could/might happen.

The 80 in the back looks really nice, my wallet is also getting really thin

I get that..and outside of the difference in looks a 100 does suffice your needs by the sounds of it...
But in comparison they handle like s***, low on power, very thirsty, parts are getting harder to find, and if youre not doing the work yourself finding someone to work on a vehicle that old can be tricky and thats if they know how to. Theres a lot of mechanics..or should i say technicians out there these days that have never even touched a distributor before.

luckily here in the middle east OMAN we have mechanics and guys who work exclusively on these cars specifically Toyota they love these old classic cars, so parts and technicians are in abundance

Like the late great Sean Connery said "Sometimes there are women who take it to the wire. That's what they're looking for, the ultimate confrontation—they want a smack." I hope this helps

Important life decisions should never be discussed with your wife. Or anyone's wife.

She's got no idea about it. I never discussed that issue with her.

Look OP, swap it. You've got two options here and it does not involve your wife.

Get the 100's engine in the 80, or get the 80 front axle into the 100.
Move on and enjoy life.

Which model is the 100 Series, FZJ105 or ??

I definitely need them both.

You're in a land cruiser forum and not kidding anyone with that statement!

Haven’t gone down this rabbit hole. Is it fairly easy to swap a 2UZ into a 80….. if you say yes my marriage would certainly be in jeopardy. I just think there is something neato about how a slow grumpy L6 sounds. Also the 2UZ is a brick s***house and is far easier to work on.

It's only money.

People here have done some pretty crazy swaps. I haven't heard about a rotary engine swap yet, but who knows.
