On paved roads like that, a decent road bike with a competent rider can handle the curves better than most cars.

I hope they do it when I’m not going uphill on that same road. I don’t need one of these folks on my front bumper.
Pulled the old a440f out of my 1991 in prep for the manual swap. When I was pulling the plate that the trans bolts to, some oil seeped from that plug area. What’s that for? Should I pull it and reseal it?
Sub'd!
I have been wondering about my 91 with oil appearing at the back corner of my oil pan for a while. New oil pan gasket didn't fix it. This looks like a possible suspect. I would pull & re-seal- it's accessible now!

Another option is to hook up a NOCO charger to your house battery and use shore power to charge when not being charged from running engine. have used this method for several years now on both a 5th gen T4R and a 100series LC. Might be a good option for you
Bit of a sad day, sold the 80 series. Has been a great car, and ends 26 years of 80 series ownership.
Traitor.
Don't be too sad. It's better than having it stolen and then having your insurance trying to rip you off even more by thinking a rust-free, 3X locked Collector's Edition is only worth $6300. I am starting a thread about his so hopefully no one has to go through this.
I actually have a small trickle charger from NOCO that I have been using to charge batteries out of the car but recently starting using it to charge the batteries while they are in the LC.
Well, what I did with my 80 this week/weekend is bought it. My 3rd locked 80 (93/97/95). I've had two 100's as well and still have a built, locked 2005 for my Moab trail vehicle I beat up on (and ski trip vehicle).
6/1995 build date which included the chrome mirrors and door handles (for build dates 5-95 to 12-95), fully cosmetically restored. 2 owners, California rig, stripped completely down, new paint, new flare rubbers, interior completely gutted with new leather front and middle rows, stripped and refinished wheels with new 285 K03's and a brand new 2" lift. Looking forward to this one! Good to have another locked 80 in the collection! I've heard the new K03's have trouble being balanced so we'll see. May yank those and slap my preferred K02's on it. Have had 4 sets of K02's with zero balancing issues even after heavy trail use in Moab.

I got $32,500 for it here in Australia if that helps, was 3xlocked 1HDFT
So what are you replacing it with?
Got my pilot bearing in and throw out hub assembled. Flywheel, clutch/pressure plate and bell housing tomorrow.
We have a4x4 F250 that we tow the caravan with, the wife has a KIA Sportage that is easy to park in the city, and skipper me around in if I am having a few drinks, and I will daily drive my 4x4 Ranger
This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for the fact that Toyota still has some parts available for our cruisers and for the forum community for sharing their knowledge.
That’s said I HATE dealing with coolant, and wish I changed this SOB when I had the engine out.

Did you buy from Western Slope? I recently bought a rad for my tundra from them and it was a denso not a trad but Toyota number.
