To FZJ80 or not

The UZJ 100 [tends] to see more soccer mom action than the 80s. Not hard to find'm for <$15K, dealer serviced, and lots of retreiver fur in the way back.

I'm going to choose not to be offended by that comment.

Sometimes the truth hurts, huh?

Well, at least its beneficial to the 'cruzer community. I bought my 99 in 09 w/ 120K on it for $12K. And, there were 4 others all within 50 miles of me and all with similar milage and price.

Definitely a soccer mom vehicle....but that is why they are in such great shape (other than finding Gummy Worms and M&Ms in them) when you first take ownership. I wheel with a couple of 80s and a few 100s and I have yet to see an 80 do something that a 100 can't. Not saying it isn't possible, just that when we "non-pros" go out, 100s hold their own.

Here is my grocery getter for reference:

Remember that 90% of all Land Rovers ever built are still on the road!

The other 10% made it home!

Ha! That's a good one. I've got an Lx450 (same as an 80) and would not want to put 7 people in it with mods. The engine is smooth and has decent power, especially after 4.88's were added, but it would be a dog with that much weight.
