Yes, my 79 is currently stranded over there. You got yours out just in time.
And I'm mostly joking about letting the 80 go. The last true analog toyota. I love it.

We live in interesting times. After dicking around for so long I am really glad we finally got it on a boat and on the ground in Mississippi. Looking forward to seeing it in early May before heading to EXPO.
I don't think I will be in the market for a third Yota but a clean 80 from @Meshal would be the only option for me.
Hate to hear that. Hope you’re able to get it out of there in the near future. I know mine left just in time, we passed the Gerald R. Ford in the Strait of Gibraltar.
As far as the 80 goes, I totally get it! I had a hard time deciding whether I wanted an 80 or 100. I ultimately decided the 100 would be the better fit for the family right now. Everytime I see an 80, or a truck like yours and @wardharris, I’m envious.
It’s just hard to not want all of them!!

Not many people have such a qualified team like I do. My guys at Audio Solutions are so good.
They were doing the reverse camera and determined the lights were not working.
They dug out the reverse switch. Pulled it apart and cleaned it and reinstalled it and it worked!
The auto antennae was s***. The dissected it and ordered the proper parts.
If those parts arrive today it's done and off to get tires.

I'm somewhat inappropriately anticipatory about seeing the tire choice and size.
Nice!! Thankful you and your team were able to track both of these down. Working with people who truly believe that “the little things matter” makes all the difference.

Audio solutions finished up with a sweet new OEM antenna and @wct49 picked it up for tires and alignment. Chris's alignment guy working with in house Cruiser guru got the torsion bars set perfectly to dial in the alignment.
285/75-16 Yokohamas look like they should be issued on these trucks.
Perfection.
Cowboy inspected and approved.

…… Cowboy the cat is pretty cool too!
Yup, looks amazing!
I have to admit, I wasn't aware there was more than one OEM steelie option for these.
Do you happen to know what the offset of those is?
Mine, IIRC, are AUS 100 steelies and require spacers.

I don't. Remind me how to measure offset and ill measure the spare. The 79 we imported has those wheels on it. I think they are 105 wheels according to Meshal. They don't need spacers though
This is another option one we imported has
Here's what I found.

I'll take the measurement and you can do the math.
Those with the small circular holes look like Tundra (5 lug) or FJC (6 lug) - I like those a lot. Were those 18's?
fair enough!
Sorry, I'm beginning to feel like I'm sidetracking this thread.
