Regrets

[croenbaugh]

Sold my ’92 FJ80 back in 2006, and honestly, I still regret it.
At the time, grad school was starting and I needed the money more than I needed a Land Cruiser, so it was the responsible move. Still doesn’t make it hurt less.

It was a 1992 FJ80 — not perfect, but solid, honest, and one of those trucks that always felt like it had more character than anything newer I’ve owned since. Looking back, I probably underestimated how hard they’d get to replace, and how much I’d miss owning something that simple, durable, and built with that kind of mechanical confidence.

Funny how some vehicles come and go, and some stay with you long after they’re gone. That one definitely stayed.

Now, my kids are getting drivers licenses and I’m buying old fj80s. Perhaps I’ll keep this one and they can have a Kia.

Regrets? I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention.

Thank you Frank.

This very well summarizes how I feel about the 60 series I was raised in that we/i sold while I was in college.

90% of the Time Guys Regret selling their 80's.
In Hindsight I just wish mine had more motor, which means I wish I had the 100 since Hwy Driving gets Tiring.
I would love a 40 for Trail Riding but getting it to Trail would be a Challenge.
I think the 80 is the New 60 as far as Coolness Goes.
The GX Rarely gets love, but everyone loves on the 80, Especially by those that Grew up in 90s.

I let my fj45 pickup go all few years ago, still feel a cringe when I think about it.

I regret selling my fj60,I will keep my lx450 till the wheels fall off and I can't get parts.

I have regretted the sale of every 80 so far. Some I thought "What was I thinking" the day of the sale while others took a month or so. The one that hurts to think about is my first (40th sage and triple locked - hammerheadfistpunch still owns it to the best of my knowledge). I try and not get to wound up about it though. A couple of my previous 80 are on here and it is nice to see they are still loved by the buyer.

Call me crazy, but of vehicles I have purchased I have only sold *ONE* of them. Still have my 46 year old (bought new...) Nissan Patrol back in Oz.

So, yes, my bought new 80 is still in my hot hands and will keep it till me legs fall off (me)

cheers,
george.
