That's correct - backing plates are in good condition thankfully, as they're NLA to my understanding.

The 93+ backing plates are nla and hard to find used. I decided to retain my OEM brakes. I don't swap rear rotors often for it to matter and pads are the same as the usdm.
just bought some from partsouq recently
93+ backing plates?

Great looking cruiser. I thought mine was low KM's (206k when I bought it), but yours is just a baby!
Do you have any documentation from Japan to confirm the mileage is legit?
Why did you remove the rear spoiler? I've been looking for one
Do you still have it?
Cheers!

I used a broker based in Japan to pull the original auction report and history. While the information was limited, he was able to determine no accidents, no mileage anomalies, and that the hood was resprayed the factory color.
I removed the spoiler simply in favor of a cleaner look. That, and I'll probably add a roof rack relatively soon. I don't have it anymore, but do have the sunroof wind deflector if you're interested.
Mine was 188k when it came over.Subscribed!

I have maintenance records from Japan to back it up.
Good stuff!
Thanks for the offer, but I'm really just looking for the rear spoiler to compliment the rest of my funny JDM plastic thingies.
I've thought of trying to seek out the Japanese documents, but mine did come with a fair bit of paperwork. It even had the last shaken inspection sticker in an envelope with the inspection report from 2019.
Cheers!
Yes...

I was talking rears I keep forgetting he's got a 95.
The front backing plates are the same until 97 I thought? I just ditched them when I did 97 brakes.

OEM timing belt and tensioner replaced as preventative maintenance just after a trip to an OHV park here in WI.
First time going to a dedicated off road park, but it was a great experience. Plenty of light, moderate, and difficult challenges to try out.
While still learning its capabilities, I'm continuously impressed with the 80.

We had rain over the weekend here in WI, so I took advantage of the salt being washed away - got to take the old girl out one last time before winter hibernation.
Looking forward to 2023!

No major plans in the works at the moment while the 80 is hibernating for winter, but I did receive some Aussie goodies recently.
If you're looking at organization, I'm really digging these Crashpad canvas/vinyl "pods." Materials and stitching are excellent, beer for scale.

OP,
Nice rig, where is that off road park in WI? I checked out Rough Trax in the UK, they have everything! I am heading to the UK in early June to see family with my kids, I may have to stop in and see what their show room looks like. Watched for updates.
‘Spring and summer are around the corner.

Thank you! If you do check them out, feel free to do a follow up post here.
Tigerton, WI is the OHV off road park I was referring to.
The vehicle was imported by the previous owner out of Massachusetts and I purchased it from him; it was just a title transfer at that point. All in, I paid just north of $30k.

First trip of the year on the books. Visited the southwest Wisconsin/northeast Iowa regions with a bunch of cool Toyota folks.
One of them snapped this candid photo of me with the 80 - she's a beauty.

Cool hood ornament. Did you put it on the hood or did it come that way?
