Does anyone have good sources to find the common gear for building up an 80 series? I have looked at the most common websites like Slee, Manafre, Sierra Expeditions, AJIK, TRDparts and many of the vendors on this site.
Here is my expedition build so far, I am hopefully taking this thing from Phoenix to Tierra del Fuego this September. Please check my website for more:http://www.overlandtheworld.com
1997 LX450 (same as Landcruiser 80 Series)
Found a highly desirable, rust free example. 120k miles. TRD Supercharger, factory lockers, ARB Winch bumper. Completed most preventative maintenance done= PHH, fluids, egr, birf rebuilds, valve gaskets, new hoses, rear main seal, all u-joints, carbon canister replacement, new wheel bearings, gas cap, radiator cap.
