I have a 1994 LC80 with 4.5 gasoline engine and the “bus” automatic. I have 1.2” pucks in the front with stock springs and no modifications in the rear (stock springs). I’m running Super Swamper Q78 (35.5”/10.50r16) tires. Love love love this vehicle! My wife has been on me to get rid of some of my 4x4s and once said, “what about that beat-up old thing?” My response, “OH LOWERED NOOOOO! THAT’S A LAND CRUISER 80! THE LAST BODY STYLE MADE WITH A SOLID FRONT AXLE!” I later heard her telling someone on the phone that “he’s been working on the one with a sacred axle or some other BS…” From then on I’ve referred to it as The Sacred 80.
I’ve recently been fixing leaks. This thing was leaving an oil spot everywhere it went. I got the 3 seals (harmonic/crank, distributor, and oil pump cover) but also had a bad power steering leak. I had a kinked power steering cooler and figured whenever I found a good deal on one I’d get it all done. Well, $100 for an oil cooler plus a hood strut he threw in and it was time to get greasy.
Ladies and gentlemen, please make welcome The Sacred 80:
