I WAS of the same belief but I have had one on loan for a few months and that has changed.

What he said. It’s a legit land cruiser.

Only if i can afford one =)
No, they're still for soccer moms, you've just seen how appealing the soccer mom life can be.
Are those Hutchinson Stealth beadlocks?I will admit my wife loves it almost as much as me.

Wow! Just imagine how many groceries that thing could hold!

Washed 6 months of dust off of the 80. Nice to be driving it again!
Added a LandCruiser decal to the hood. Maybe they'll quit saying, 'nice 4Runner'. Eh, maybe not.
And, I added a level to the bottom of my roof rack. I plan to use it for leveling the truck, from the driver seat, so the tent is flat.

THAT is an AWESOME idea! And visible through the sunroof no less. I will blatantly copy it ...
Where else but MUD can I start my day excited about a "bubble level mod" to my 80
Thanks!

Few problems can't be solved with a forklift and enough straps 
... Going camping this weekend on the Chesapeake Bay with the Scouts.
Put these on last weekend. After several hundred miles of potholed NJ roads I'm happy with them. (I blame the purchase on MUD. Specifically, @chap79 and his meticulous maintenance records that he posted a few weeks ago. Ready access to part #'s is a dangerous thing)

Make sure to put some shock boots on those to protect the pistons. It makes a HUGE difference in longevity at a minimal expense. I use the generic ProComp ones you can get from 4WheelParts, part# EXP 12127.Few problems can't be solved with a forklift and enough straps

Cleaned out my clogged catalytic converter (only one of two was clogged), and cleaned out my air filter.
Went for a quick drive this morning and now it stumbles and stalls out when slowing down (stop sign, stop light, slowing down for a turn, etc) in drive. Has a really rough idle in neutral... but doesn't stall out when just idling in neutral. Drives fine when under load (accelerating).

Found out I have bad O2 sensors 
Its a typical jeep thing at uwharrie
Check the intake hose between the throttle body and the air flow meter. It may be cracked.
Yesterday I dug into my heat issue since it's starting to cool down finally. Swapped out the control panel but it does the same thing so still kinda stumped. While I had the dash apart I installed a Pioneer head unit I had laying around that has bluetooth. Sounds pretty good. I have to figure out something to do under the radio or get a double din. This will work for now.
Also last weekend I finally decided to fix up my steering wheel a bit till I find a replacement or get this one restored. The leather and foam is completely gone on the top and the previous owner wrapped it in duct tape. It was all gooey and I had put a cheap cover over it for the time being. Stripped all the off and wrapped the damaged area in bandage tape to build up some padding to replace the missing foam. Then i wrapped the whole thing in hockey tape. It's a little lumpy but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out for now.
Lastly I finally have a leak free exhaust. I was walking up to the truck yesterday and noticed the rear O2 sensor dangling underneath. The studs had rusted and the nuts fell off. I was able to tap them down to a 5/16" and put new nuts on it. Worked well and now it's so quiet.

Baby got some new shoes. Went from 275/70R16 to 285/75R16. Before and after shots.
Turns out I put my OME coils on the wrong sides...She has a list to Port currently.
