Absolutely. Just comparing it to mine in my mind’s eye…

Yes. Had glass out repaint done last year and had them also spray the underside. It was in good shape but I keep it near the coast so wanted so extra protection.
Fairly easy, they line up with the mounting pattern of the normal door pockets, just recommended to use slightly longer screws

Epic trip with @ExpoMax and @Andrew Bluemel. Colorado to Death Valley for 400miles of below sea level awesomeness up to 9500ft with cold and snow. We saw it all, desert dirt, mud, snow, rock, silt, etc. Just a few pics from the trip. Too much to explain here. That place is enormous, but worth it if you can carry enough gas and supplies and trust your rig. We did one stint of nearly 290miles with no fuel stops mostly off road.
Pulled into the parking lot of a local high school for my daughters vb tournament and saw a land cruiser. I went to tell my gf about it and realized it's mine. My daughter drove it to vb.
My gf says at least you like your land cruiser

So jealous
you guys need to be running harder trails. how is a work truck tundra keeping up with built 80s?
More grinding and paint prep today. Also removed some studs with the stud tool. If you know, you know….

Oh, you are the guy I suggested grind a socket for the water pump bolt. Nice perseverance doing everything on the street!

Not to worry. We do, and that’s not a work truck. It’s on 37’s, built up, etc.
That's just death valley, it's all super mild from an off-road perspective. Harsh and bumpy maybe but technically simple
I forgot how huge those tundras are. Even 37s look “normal” on those things.

The new purchase made it home, had not been driven more than a couple miles in over a year, only had to change the alternator belts that snapped and top off power steering fluid. 45 miles trip and it actually runs pretty good.
Good buy! I wondered if you would swoop in on that one!
Swapped engine to 1HDFTE 24v Intercooler turbo. Retained 5 speed manual and selectable 4wd and ofcourse factory triple locked! Was originally 1FZF carby.

Up early this morning, finished buttoning up the engine compartment in the 40 after replacing the side cover gasket. Moved on to the 80 and changed the oil / filter, took a Blackstone sample to send off, and checked all the other fluids. I usually run 5/30 Syn but am going with a Quaker State 5/40 since it’s about to warm up here. I need to do some work on the interior but will wait until I’ve shuttled the dogs for a bath later this morning.

Interior gutted! No rust just wet carpets. Lots of cleaning to do.
Wow! Nice job! Look how much room is in the truck now? So many possibilities!

Is that the same truck from the other thread where a buyer walked? I wasn't sure if you were serious and you posted early in that thread. I posted that I would have bought that truck but everyone else was writing "first instinct, walk!" on that truck. Too bad I am on the wrong coast for that truck.
