So jealous of your amazing wrenching skills + knowledge! Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Speak of the devil. Thoughts anyone? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-Toyota-Land-Cruiser-40th-Anniversary/232799085204?hash=item3633e82294:g:WKgAAOSw4ahbGuAJ&vxp=mtr Would really like to build my wrenching exp.

I'm so in love with the J80/J100 LC that finding one (that fits my check list) at far market value is like finding a damn Unicorn. The bites that I do get just end up being teases, scammers, and a "bad vibe" from the seller. I'm curious if the rising gas tax in CA and overall cost to own a...

This is amazing! Where do you start on knowing what to fix, upgrade, replace? I've been in the same boat and had been looking for a J80 for ages but gave up due to the information flood. Keep the great posts coming.

This write up is amazing. Secondly, you're an amazing writer. I'm looking for a new rig now and will definitely be referring to this.

Welcome Sparky! Hello from Long beach. Nice rigs :)

Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk Thanks for such a thorough response. I would want to avoid spending money on all the "expensive" stuff (Dosen't everybody? :) ). I wish I could add more to the conversation but my experience is limited. I would definitely make the commitment on a new truck...

that looks so amazing!!! Btw, photos are 10/10 m8!

What are your thoughts on Land Cruisers? or Jeeps?

I'm in Long Beach California. I think for a Rig I'd really like to shop below 20k all in + shocks, tires, and post purchase maintence. If it's just a banging deal, i'd be open to spending a bit more. For me it's more about, making the right choice for a platform. This wouldn't be a commuter...

Hi Guys, As the title states, I'm looking to dive in to overlanding and this time its serious! I've been having an internal back and forth battle with myself for over 2 years (all the research and time is overwhelming) but I've finally decided to hunkered down and buy a rig! The use? I want...

@wilson is it this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-DIFF-LOCK-1994-toyota-land-cruiser-diif-lock-1-owner-3-rd-row-seat-7-servicd-/191538725233?forcerrptr=true&hash=item2c98990171&item=191538725233&pt=US_Cars_Trucks Still can't find one :worried:

Thanks Michael. Arent all post 93's fzj80 with the 4.5 L 1FZ-FE I6 motor?

That sounds like a great idea. I'm a pretty big worry wart and the 360k just scared me Michael. That plus my limited wrenching knowledge (but willing to learn!)  It's not only hard to find a decent condition LC but once you ask more indepth questions the owners just dont respond! Located in...

It is damn near impossible to find a good condition 80 :worried:

Thanks for the great response Michael! I have found a possible prospect! And was wondering how many miles is to many?.... 350K There is a lot of wear and tear on the body and frame let alone engine. I'm a big reliability worry wart to boot...

Hello, I recently had my eyes opened to the world of 4x4/Overlanding.  I'm looking to find a rig most likely the 80 for the solid axles and lockers.....although i wish it where the 100S for the more comfortable rig. I'm a complete beginner and novice and only recently began to research and plan...
