Thanks everybody for the helpful advice. I think I need to kick some tires and take a few test drives to make a decision. Chris

Another option Apparently my wife would be happy to drive the truck so that would leave the option of keeping the 80 series land cruiser for exploring and me using her altima for a DD. She's been wanting a new to her car so in the long run it may be the cheaper way to go. Other than a DD the...

Possible in Stock 80 Nice write up. I am thinking of doing the same route in 2 weeks. I have a stock 80 series (no lockers). Do you think I will have any problems?
