Keeping my 80

I'm a new member on this forum. I previously had a fjc pretty built up and picked up a 80 series....more specific a 1995 land cruiser with 167,000 miles and factory lockers. I had driven it less then 3k miles when I found out it has a head gasket issue. So it sat there for months abd recently got it repaired . In the process I was thinking about selling the 80 and go back to an fjc because I really enjoyed that vehicle, but honestly I love this thing more day by day ! The wife is now telling me that I should keep this one and forget about the fjc. I think I found a keeper. I just don't think she is gonna like the $$$ going to the mods ;)

Couldn't agree more with your logic! Blew my HG at 205,000 on my '94. I drove a friends modded FJC and nephew's stock FJC. Nice, but just not an 80! I've owned my truck since new and I just could not give it up for something I felt was not as good, not to mention the 5 year car payment vs repair. That was several years ago and glad I made the decision I made!

Let your mods begin! If you haven't found IH8MUD, it's everything Landcruiser and the 80 series section has an awesome FAQ that'll give you hours of reading and thoughts on spending more $$$ than your wife could ever dream of! Be careful!! :safari-rig:
