They are great vehicles. If you can find a locked LX it's a one in a million. Can't beat em

Better hop on that soon, prices have seemed to go up about 30% the past 4/5 years. And if you can find a clean locked one you'll be lucky

I got lucky and found a clean 1 (in my opinion) with low miles and lockers.

So true!!! I am actually thinking of going with the 2016 version of that or the Land Cruiser.

Open the back back seat door of a 2016 Land Cruiser, and tumble the seat forward. Watch the hard plastic seat back bash into the non-removable rear seat entertainment screen. Who's the idiot that didn't test this! Shoulda left the screen overhead like it has been on previous years.
(Note: you can remove the screens, but there's a void full of wires on the back of the front seats, and no current method to cover it up. Not getting the screens is not an option.)

2016s are awesome. But if you ask me the 80 series are the best cruiser made. I love the 40 but the 80 had modern comfort with old school durability

What size tire? And if I could suggest I would wait to do the lift last, get most of the stuff that you think you'll be getting that way you know exactly what springs to go with

Yes!!! I completely agree. I would be ripping those screens off anyway since we don't watch TV. I also don't love how the rear sits fit, at least on my LR4 they fold underneath out of the way. Great point!

Yes and older FJ80 is more likely on the horizon. I have a 2013 LR4/Discovery 4 and looking more for a non-computerized trail rig.
