Just purchased mine. Today I changed the hood struts and the right hand corer marker as it was broken.
Did you use your 80 offroad at all? How about your 100? Thanks for the info.Just went to a 2004 100 from the best setup for a daily driver 80. It had a new suspension with variable stock height springs and all new OEM bushings, New tie rods, new steering box.
The 100 is so much easier to drive. I jump in it every time. The 80 sat most of the time
I installed the BT45-TOY in my ‘04 LX470. Easy install and Bluetooth works great.

Forest service rds and light trails. 80 would excel in rocks and gullies, but I just don’t spend that much time doing that
I’m 6’2 230# which is also an issue in an 80 for longer drives, unless you drop big $’s on seats.

Didn't do anything with them yet, but bought some new tools. Who's familiar with JIS screwdrivers? All the years working on Japanese made vehicles and I feel like a complete idiot I wasn't aware of this before now.
Got them in today. Here's the new JIS compared to my old Craftsman Professional #2 Phillips.

Nice pick up. They do work better than Phillips screwdrivers, etc. Except I lost a flat head one and need to get that replaced.
I've been using JIS on Japanese vehicles since 2010. JIS drivers are a must have for anyone planning to avoid rounding or stripping out JIS screws.
Don't beat yourself up! I rebuild/service a lot of classic Nikon cameras (Japanese) and these all require precision JIS screwdrivers or you'll round the head in no time. Once you start using these you realise how much easier your life gets on JDM vehicles!
I was just about to make a post asking what a JIS screw/screwdriver was…
All these years wrenching on Japanese stuff, I feel like a moron.

Same!
Getting ready for a road trip. Going with some friends to the 24 hours of Daytona in a few weeks. Last year I took my LR3 and we had turn 4 tickets, this year we have infield tickets which should be fun.
After that the women is flying in and plan is to head down the Key's, than a slow trip back north.
Of course first order of business is a cut and buff, it's desperately needed this since I bought it. Also had to fix the PO's hood chip repairs, seemed he liked a 1" brush for little touch up chips. 400, 1000, 2000, 3000.
105, followed by 205 on a DA, followed by some good old NXT I had laying around.
Cleans up pretty decent for what it is.
There are times I really appreciate my LR3's lack of clear coat. Never had to worry about buffing it lol.

Don't dread too much flanges are basic just make sure you have a brass hammer or punch, a prybar set, plenty of PB Blaster and 2 hours per side. This is all pending you have a rust free rig. Make sure to post those as well, Cheers!
Personally I'd want to maintain the integrity of this sticker and put it in a frame on the shelf. I'm 800 miles shy of 200k on my 2000 LX so I am looking forward to getting mine. I'm more excited about 200k than I am about my 08 Prius with 330k spread over 2 motors. Toyota needs to come out with a hybrid mini truck so I can put the old girl to rest.
I did this a couple of months ago, and it was an easy job. If you are like me and like to replace related stuff while you are in there, here are some part number for the hoses.

O oil change and tire rotation. Tried doing the oil filter cooler housing thing oring again but I still don’t know how I’m going to get to those bolts without taking off the coolant hoses running to it. And I really don’t want to do all that.

The coolant hoses must be taken off, no other way around it. Drain the coolant and do a flush while you're at it.
