hey mate I live in Taupo in the middle of the north island next to a big lake,lots of good trails in every direction round here:D
 
Quit buying checker alternators......:flipoff2:

HAHA.. No, it's been serviced at a place called Clegg's Auto Care. The guy there says that a lot of LCs have the same problem.

Thanks for the info, I'll be looking into the Wasatch Cruisers.
 
'97 - 115,000

All original OEM parts. In nine years on the road, she has only gotten oil/filter changes, new shoes, replaced suspension w/ OME 2.5" Heavy, and replaced OEM front bumper w/ Slee's single-hoop.
 
'93 285,000. Doing the radiator in the next week and other than that just pm.

'97 LX450 250,000. Upper oil pan gasket at 165,000.

Both have had starters and I think alternators, but, it's been so many miles ago I don't remember. Front axle rebuilds on both and the 80 needs it again. Lots of brake jobs on both though.

93 VX Diesel with 230,000 kilometers all Ok except the Aircon
 
1976 FJ 40 ~ 46,985mi ...don't know how long the 33's have been on...
Strong beast on the trail..... figur' about 300,000 miles in the year of our Lord 2197ad......
 
Landtoy 80, Wow!
Awesome job of keeping track of PM & repairs!
I just switched over from a 76 FJ40 to a 93 FZJ 80 with 190000 on it & have been planning on maintaining a log like yours.
Nice!
In the past 2 weeks I've installed OME J heavies, cc bushings, extended S/S brake lines, pulled the fender flares, & changed the oil over to Mobil 1 10W30.
I haven't had any regrets about swapping my 40 yet!
 
I have a fuel log for every gal and price for all gas I pumped.
I need to update that log on computer.
I hate to see how many gal and how much $$$$ I spent on gas.
I should add the parts cost to my maint log.
It would be :cool: to see how much the 80 cost over its life.
 
91-230,000

1 alternator
1 fan clutch
1 radiator and starter contacts
 
I keep seeing lots of posts regarding head gaskets. Is this a common problem or does anyone have an estimate on the percentage of vehicles this affects?
 
92 3fe
clock says 202k but i'm not sure when the po put the 36's on it so i'm guessing it really has on the up side of 220k.... new radiator.... and the po did rebuild the head (not sure why though)

on a side note my two friends beat me in the mileage department.... one is a 92 taurus with 270k.... no major work done so far just water pump, alt and radiator. and my other friends dad still has his original volvo...it was the first car he bought brand new.... has something like 340k on it right now.
 
225,000, now fresh overhaul...

New colors, too.
enginecolorfront.webp
 
91 with 237k. new radiator and water pump @ 185k. new o2 sensors and bypassed the egr system a couple wks ago. runs like a champ. bought her 3.5 yrs ago and have only spent a total of $800-900 in repairs. ($450 of that was the damn radiator)....
 
Dad's 97' with 170k Just battery, O2 sensor, plug wires and PM stuff. No Head Gasket issues.

Mine 97' with 94k and no problems.
 
'94 174,000 miles with lots of miles towing a trailer that's too heavy for these trucks.


one HG, one cracked radiator, two starters and one alternator, plus all the regular pm.
