Hey fellas,
I'm a new FJ80 owner, just picked up a 1992 FJ80 the other night in very nice condition. No rust/rot anywhere, very clean body (some minor dings, dents nothing major) and pretty mechanically sound. It does need some brake work (currently has no pedal pressure) so I'll be tackling that shortly.
The FJ80 is white with the blue cloth interior. 163,000 original miles, clear title.
It's loaded as ordered when new:
4x4 (says All Wheel 4WD on tailgate)
old school factory cell phone w/ dual wired rear antennaes on back glass
diff locker button on dash
vehicle is equipped all available power options for 1992
power moon roof
3rd row of seats
running boards
roof rack
factory alarm system
build date is 11/91
The only physical exterior "blems" I have to fix are, the front and rear bumpers need to be corrected, as they have suffered "city bumps" during it's city life. The seller also gave me any paperwork or service records he had since he had owned the vehicle. I believe I'm the 3rd owner.
Just a brief history - I'm mechanically inclined and am a primary Mustang owner (have owned 17 Mustangs over the years) with my current Mustang being a 1994 Cobra. I am automotive forum savvy and am a member of many forums, so this stuff is not new to me I'm just new to this forum and Toyota FJ80 ownership... LOL! I had purchased a 1987 Ford Bronco XLT 4x4 for a daily driver to keep miles off the Cobra, then came across this 92 Land Cruiser... So, the Bronco is being sold and the LC will take the place as the daily driver.
The final price paid for the FJ80 was $2300.00... Is $2300.00 a decent price for a 1992 FJ80?
Oh, the owner did not have the factory alarm system key fobs, they must have been lost at some point in time during his ownership, or the prior owner's ownership. What is the correct style of 1992 FJ80 alarm/remote entry key fob supposed to look like? Can these be purchased outside of the dealer on eBay and if so, are they easily programmable like other remote entry fobs?
I'll be going over the entire vehicle, cleaning, washing, detailing, etc.
Does anyone recommend a certain aftermarket vendor for buying tune up parts, valve cover gaskets, etc? I know I could go to the dealer, but I also know they'd rape me on parts... Just wondering where everyone else purchases parts online.
nice site - I've already read many threads pertaining to certain items on the FJ80's.
