All,
I wish I had known about this forum when I owned my 91 Fj80 years ago. But I’m damn glad I’ve found it now. Although it’s costly reading, lol. On to the 97 my wife drove for twenty years and I recently stole. I usually travel for work and have limited free time so I paid to have the 2.5” OME lift, front axles rebuild, wits seat extension, ARB bull bar, light force venom driving lights, PHH and KO2s installed. A local muffler shop rebuilt my exhaust. This weekend I removed my gold emblems and put on the vintage Toyota emblems from Brad along with two of his cup holders. I also had all the fluids changed.
With only 170k on the clock, I feel like We could now drive it anywhere again. I’d also like to get the Distributor o-ring, oil pump oil seal and front crank seals replaced. Could any reputable mechanic do this or do I need to take it to someone familiar with Labd Cruisers and does anyone have an estimate on cost? Thanks again for all the data and advice.
