Hello everyone, thought i would share my Landcruiser experience with you guys. My father bought my FZJ80 in August of 94' brand spanking new. $48,500 fully loaded, lockers and all. My dad was always a hardcore offroader and hunter. He has had many fourwheel drive vehicles in his 72 years and quite a few Landcruisers.
From day one the 80 was wheeled hard. The stock tires were removed right away and replaced with 285 BFG MT's. It was primarily used as a hunting-expedition vehicle. Today there are only 92,000 miles on the odometer, but they have been rough ones.
Things Fixed or Replaced:
My dad was nice enough to give me his favorite truck of all time as a graduation gift from college a few years ago. I have slowly began the building process.

Things Fixed or Replaced:
- By 40,000 miles the OEM shocks had to be replaced
- Power steering pump replaced at 50,000
- Gone through 2 sets of wheel bearings
- Exhaust has been fixed at least 5 times due to being smashed
- Blown head gasket at 88,000 (my fault extreme offroad abuse)
- Front axle needs rebuilt (clicking put nothing major)
