FJ80 Land Cruiser. I’m not biased I swear

3D Printer people on Etsy. Not sure about the Montero, but the 80 has enough after market support that there are folks who do this.

There are a few interesting builds on IH8MUD with guys putting Volvo portal axles on 80s. 

Most people are giving you answers to your question which makes sense. I have a Toyota of a similar vintage (92) that also has OBD1. You may know this already so feel free to ignore it. As far as I’m aware, there is no OBD1 reader. You gotta stick a paper clip in between two ports of the reader and turn on your car…

Good. Although, I’m not a boomer. The C8 is hitting all the right notes so far. 

It is the best vehicle ever made. I may be biased though.

When the current owner “knows what they got”.

Do people call it Mankato State? I thought it was Minnesota State.

Mine is going on 26 years and still going strong. My first kid pops out next year and we’re going to go on adventures together. If it survives 20 more years, I won’t blame my kid if it doesn’t want a 45 year old truck that gets 12 mpg.

How exactly does the Posi-Track rear end on a Plymouth work?

80 is best. 

I know I’m way too late to this for anyone to see my comment, but you can get a decent handheld ham radio for less than $30. If you know you’re going somewhere even slightly off the grid, they are nice to throw into the glove box. You should probably get a license but in a true emergency, I imagine the ticket would be…

One difference would be that the 2018s now come with a 6 year/60k mile warranty. 2017 and newer only had 3yr/30k.

I moved away a couple years ago, but I think most of this advice is still sound.

Tom,

91-92 have the 3FE (155 hp/22o tq). 93-97 have the 1FZ-FE (212/275). 91-92 do not have ABS, airbags, and the issues that RentalCarRoadTrip mentioned with the rear axles etc. If you’re made of money and want the absolute best 80 series, a triple-locked 1997 Anniversary edition is probably the one you want. However,…

CP. People who buy Land Cruisers don’t realize that the cost of PM is much higher than they think. This is the “less desirable” 3FE. I have a 3FE and it’s reliable and slow as can be, so hooning isn’t exactly part of the ownership experience. No pesky heater hose or head gasket issues like the FZJ80s. Fixing issues on…

I third the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence.

Is only car, why you heff to be mad?
