Round two of putting our loved 80 on the market..... it took a lot longer to get the build going on her replacement but it's finally time, and the wife most importantly agrees..

This is my 5th 80 build - we picked it up as a one owner ( minus dealer) from Atlanta and it was obviously garage kept, even now the paint is almost perfect.

It's been built up to be a reliable light offroad DD, and that's how we've used it. Duggy's Garage here in Houston has done 95% of the work on her, including a full overhaul and HG at roughly 218k as PM..... along with that almost all hoses, lines and accessories were replaced with OEM or upgraded. Front Axles were fully redone at roughly 205k. she has a pair of new AGM batteries, new rotors/pads within last 3 months and a recent full fluid change. I'll post up all the build specs/ parts shortly - it's a long list. and I'll post more pics as well. PM me if you have anything specific you'd like a pic of.

Front seats were redone with LCH covers and new OME seat bottoms, rears ,and 3rd row are originla leather and in good shape (3rd row are out currently) Carpet was taken out and professionally cleaned and Dynamat installed in doors and floor etc.

She's currently in Norfolk, VA area, as I'm there for business 2-3 weeks a month now.

I have almost all records and invoices and am happy to talk about the work done etc.... The hood scoop is a bit polarizing I realize, I planned a Sc'er with a custom top mounted intercooler... My local body shop has quoted replacing with a stock hood should that be a choice.

Asking $ 42k( NEW PRICE 38k) - might consider taking a Tundra in partial trade, as I need a DD for Norfolk.. the wife likes her new Rig too much to give it up..

Haha- thanks Bison
I might be addicted to "the build".......my wife mentioned something like that recently as boxes have been showing up for her new truck...
 
Forgot to add - new Slee front Double cardan Driveshaft, and OEM Toyota rears - and both AGM batteries are new, plus brake pads all the way around...

Spare DS's will go with the truck plus some extra spares - including the 4 x4 labs rear cooler / can carrier on swing-out option (not shown)

Update - I've got a new OEM hood inbound that will be color matched by my shop along with a new OEM windshield - and a full fluid change.

I am moving the Baja Design lights over to the new project. Wiring and switch panel will remain - main bumper lights are replaced with a Baja replica. ARB rack and Awning are also being moved over to new project.

Price drop to $ 39,500
 
Forgot to mention - truck is now back in TEXAS.....
 
Hoping to have it in the shop after thanksgiving .... they've got the parts inbound ( hood, windshield and new gasket)

Any other questions please PM me.
 
Morning -

Yes still avail - haven't had time to get it into the shop for the hood yet...and they're now booked thru mid-jan... had them working on the new project instead.

I'll PM you my cell

Nice ! It may make the trip in Jan if I still have it... had a bit more interest recently.
 
Our 80 is back on the market..... we picked up a wagon for the pup as wife's DD and she needs a good loving home. She's at about 240k -ish ? fresh service, tire rotation and everything is running perfectly as you'd expect given the recent full overhaul. The Baja Design LP6's are back on her - BD was kind enough to warranty them with a fully new set that now have the DRL function.

Asking $ 38k - the truck is outside of Houston ,but happy to perhaps deliver as my travel schedule is crazy these days. East Coast is easy, as I'm in VA weekly.

PM me for more info, specific pics or to chat..... We don't need to sell her, but want to find her a good home - and hopefully a passionate mudder....

I have a few from this spring I'll dig up - I'm in VA for next week but can certainly get those next weekend, a reasonable ask !

It's super clean - ATL garage queen, then Texas with3-4 months in Baton Rouge in between...

I should be back in Houston Sat am - Tuesday afternoon should you want to check it out, happy to meet somewhere in the middle perhaps. Do you still have your 200 ? I kind of regret selling ours at time...

PM me your email and I can share a file of pics if you want.
 
Some recent pics for a few folks who asked - PM me with any questions, we've replaced both our DD's, so she's not getting much use other then a grocery run weekly..
She just had a tire rotation, oil change and new air filter and a new Heater/Ac fan installed. She's road ready to head to Alaska if you wanted...
