romer, i think the tech was originally a rare locked cloth 80 example which is kind of techy, but now it is spot the danger signs in an ebay auction tech..

.

That's why I left it:D Otherwise, it would have been moved already.
 
I guess you found some mud on my 80? :)

Yes, Spent some good time cleaning up the engine bay...


...worst yet, I bought an fj62 from GA for the build the dude must have swamped the thing in it. I prob just have 100 hours of cleanin clay off this rig.

Tucker, to be fair those are two totally different types of lighting.

Your picture looks like it is from a P&S with flash, so the fibers will reflect and "shine" from the point source light, with little diffuse low level light. The autoway vehicle has soft outside light coming in which scatters below the surface of the carpet and gives it more of a "bottom up" illumination.

Still, I think the carpet looks funky.
 
What, nobody is going to bring up the non-original key fob remote and non OEM shocks? Besides, is that a mike holder where the CDL switch should be? No steps is a plus. Don't the front flaps say "Land Cruiser", though? The voltmeter needle would seem to show that the alternator works at least, which would make me suspect that the engine has a chance of running. The radio backlight works! The rear hatch isn't rusted!
 
Due to Trucker's response i have scrutinized all carpet pictures and he has a point. Driver's side front is very brown ps is less so, rear ps is almost beige I am no lighting nor carpet expert but I just find it weird.

Add the 50% 0 fb, the statements that this dealer is to be avoided, the dash, etc. I'd not think twice about this vehicle unless as has been stated I could see it and take it to an unbiased mechanic.

93s did not have the cdl switch in north america.

We found a category that Heeps are better at:

We would not be able to scrutinize it if it were a Heep cause it would be in a landfill :D
 
That's where the ECT switch goes, no?. I suppose the PO could have moved the switches; my point simply had to do with weird wiring related to the CB or what not. The Big Red Switch isn't factory either.

the ECT switch is two spots over where it should be. The red switch is presumably for the fog lights. I don't know if that hanger is for a cb or not. It could be for a cell phone microphone. looks a little light duty for a cb.

i would think wiring is the least of your worries unless it is a flood truck. My 93 had an old fullsized cell phone with cable and cradle hardwired inside the console, a box speaker under the driver wheel well for the cell, a very badly wired fog light, a second abandoned wire loom from an earlier fog light, and a disabled alarm. None of them were much of an issue.

93-94 80 Series with drum rear brakes had CDL switches from the factory I believe.
