Sadly or luckily I've got a rare chance on dream build...... I swore I'd never sell this 80, as it's the cleanest I've seen yet and has been lovingly built .... but...... fate tossed a new project on my radar.

Hoping that a mud member will be interested - this is my 6th 80 build, along with a sc'ed 100, and long travel built 200...... all found great homes with mud folks - this one deserves the same.

I found this in Baton Rouge- a dealer had picked it up as it was a trade - owned by a Dentist wife and garaged it's whole life.... I paid decent money for it and started ordering parts...

my bodyshop redid the flares as they had minor parking scuff and re-placed the gimps to match. Short of that and a recent redo of the tailgate and upper door due to a dent it's never had any paintwork, or any major accident. The PO hit a sign and scuffed the front bumper, and I was hit lightly in the rear bumper this Feb - the hi-lift jack just touched the door. The hood has a STI scoop and Range Rover vents that were sized to allow a top mounted Mishimoto Intercooler, and the vents in concert with the scoop drop temps dramatically in the Texas summers - scanguage showed 12-20 degrees. Bodywork was done by Master Autobody in town - one of the best shops in Houston and the go-to for hard to match paints/ matte paint etc...

Duggy's Garage -our local go-to shop for all things Toyota has always done the service and install of parts - with a HG redo just completed in March this year at 214k - now has roughly 217k.... it was an all-in while you're in there approach.... anything needed, including the wiring harness was either upgraded or replaced with OEM or better - that was a 5 figure rebuild - details in the build list below.

I'd hoped to find a sc'er to finish the build - and add the LR larger main tank....

I do not need to sell her and have already pulled the trigger on the new project, but I know once I start that build she won't get the attention and love she deserves.... sadly, other then light fireroads in Big Bend last year she's never been wheeled - so the paint and underside are pristine...the paint was recently ceramic coated (April) and the 4x4 labs rear bumper was just re- powder-coated last month, andcomes with a spare basket/ gas can rack to swap in/out.

Asking 38,500

Price drop to 42,500 - new rig is inbound......

PM me if you want any specific details or pictures - she's getting made pretty tomorrow.

I use these threads to show my wife what a smart purchase I made back in 2016. It’s the only thing that I’ve ever purchased that spiked ridiculously in value. Glws @RS6tofj80. Mine will hopefully turn into a very nice and comfortable coffin (kidding, my boy is getting it; but probably not before I die).
 
Likewise - my wife is happy with the trend on this vs. a few of my other builds...... they're truly wonderful rigs that are getting their due finally....as much as I love the 80, the lack of real HP (even with a sc'er or Wit's Kit)is too much given that we'd like to take a rig to Telluride and Maine etc.....
 
She's all clean and waxed and ready for a new owner...... will be posting to Portal - and then BaT if the few folks who've been waiting for pics don't take her...
