Hi, everyone. I'm perhaps the most boring 80-Series owner you're likely to encounter on a Thursday.
I have a 1996 LX450 with 207K, bone stock save for a CarPlay head unit and replacements. It's my daily driver, and the most offroading or overlanding it's like to see is driving bad gravel roads to an Airbnb my wife's picked out in the Blue Ridge.
Having said as much, I do love the thing (even though it won't fall out of a tree) and I want to keep it going forever. My in-laws own a general Toyota and Lexus shop but have trouble servicing Cruisers mainly due to parts sourcing struggles. I kind of need to be me own service advisor and parts guy.
I'll find the proper place to post, but my main reason for joining here is to have a resource for getting a head start on finding replacement parts and hopefully identifying trustworthy sources to buy them.
I've attached a photo that I think is pretty. If you look closely, you can just pick out the slightly mismatched splitgate. Thanks for having me and glad to be here.
