- All my opinion based on 2 years of ownership (the good, the bad, & the not so ugly).
These are excellent vehicles. If you have a good example, hold on to that sucka, maintain it, and keep cruisin. S/O my cruiser crew arish & brucemflee.

Good, honest video. The 40th Sage is one of the most desirable editions. Stock condition is far more appealing to me. I think it's a shame that so many 80s get modified unnecessarily. Definitely more likely to have issues with a lifted, heavier truck. I know, it's difficult to decouple the ego from the intellect at times.
My 40th is a sage. Number 2837 and it now has 404,000 miles on it. Still runs like new. Fully maintained, all stock and no leaks. I've had it for 18 years.
Super helpful most of all on the buying purpose
Nice Truck you did great. Bought a HDJ81 VX LTD Diesel 12 years ago. It was modified like yours. Recently changed to stock and its completely better to drive, has more power and better fuel economy. Other than looks would never go back.
The bigger wheels cost more , cause more drag , uses more fuel , puts more stress on the drive line , slows the car down and adds more weight Australia 🇦🇺
sweet vid bruh!
Nice video!
Beautiful 40th!
Just bought a 40th triple locked cruiser in great shape with 245K on the clock. Definitely excited to build it out eventually.
I’ve had my 80 for almost 2 years. The first year I fixed all the maintenance issues and then some. I’ve now lifted and placed bumpers on it as well as some extra stuff.
My question is, what are the maintenance issues you ran into that you had mentioned?
HA - We have two cars. The 97 and Civic! I'm still deep in the maintenance before mods phase. 200k is a lot of miles on the original parts. Trying to swap as much as I can with OEM before those parts dry up.
Great stuff man. And definitely a wise move to perform as much maintenance as possible before modding. Probably the best combination you could have in terms of longevity 👌
@@AUTOBIBLE Hey Hey - 5 months and a couple more full system replaces later - The Beast is finally getting a mod. Fog Lights in the bumper vents!
How much would a stock exterior but has had its suspension overhauled with aftermarket?
..sensations...
Strange how this video just popped up on the feed. I am traveling south from Ohio tomorrow to look at and possibly buy a 1990 HDJ81 JDM Land Cruiser. 🧐😁
Did you get it? how was it?
You should have Bought A Diesel had mine from New 91 model and it's been to Hell and BACK ✔️ and still use it as a daily. I'm from Melbourne AUSTRALIA
Thanks for your comment brotha! Wish we had diesel cruisers here.. costs over $25K to swap an HDT! Excited to see all the decked out cruisers next time I make it over to Australia
@@AUTOBIBLE l wonder what the reason is that no Diesel's were never Sent to you Guys Strange??
@@tadeuszmichaelwlodarczyk3120 The EPA. In the US we have very stringent emissions regulations. NOx is the biggest restriction and the diesels offered in most vehicles produce far too much.
@@VTOffRoadAdventures IV seen the same car as mine in Mexico and still on the road couldn't they be brought over to the USA as is
@@tadeuszmichaelwlodarczyk3120 Nope. Mexico has different environmental regulations than the US. You can drive across and stay for a number of months but it can't be legally registered here for various reasons. If you illegally register it here and get caught you are in a world of hurt and the vehicle gets crushed.
What was your 40th number? Mine is #615
Previous owner removed the plate 😭
What’s the mileage on the beauty now?
Was around 240K when I sold it!
