1990 HDJ81 owner here, the LC is very reliable and very capable. A baseline maintenance regimen for these is an absolute must. Don’t waste money on added weight….bumpers, roof racks, bigger tires, lift etc…until the maintenance is complete. Drive it for a while. Cheap LED taillights can be had until an OEM unit can be found.
Hey man also. The knuckles are super easy and the rebuild kit is pretty cheap. Also, I’ve got a really nice front bumper with no dents if you’re interested.
Can you cover a video of Knuckles when you get to them or a video about maintenance and such. I have a lx450 that only one knuckle looks like yours I’m wondering how long I got and if I do need to tend to them do I just get a rebuild kit and how would I know?
I might do one, however there’s already a very well done video on them that I’ll follow. So I probably won’t make a video on it, because it has a ton of steps.
To my knowledge the tail lights are still available from Toyota. I just bought a set a few weeks ago. Also, have you considered replacing the engine wiring harness to minimize the hassle of breaking old connectors?
I drive a 91 80series. enjoy the power of the newer model. OME has a 2" lift coil. on stock shocks it rides amazing. spend the $160 on the new alignment bushings.
I had the OME 2” lift on my LX 450. If you mean the caster correction bushings, I just did the caster plates because everyone had horror stories of the bushings failing.
I had trinity leather here in Dallas , They replaced all my leather for around 1500 bucks and the they look brand new. maybe more now because i had done before the plandemic
I like this Car so much, but it confuses me, kindly let me know is this Toyota land cruiser VX limited? Which engine does it use? Manual or Automatic? How many gears? Does it have turbo? How many litres of engine capacity?
Just stumbled across your video. I’m the guy that sold you the fender flares. Glad they worked out. But Boise, not Pennsylvania!
Dude that's so awesome. You're a low key hero to me lol
Beautiful truck bro. Can't wait to see everything you do!
Thanks man! They’re just natural works of art

Thanks! I found a new OEM set for $95
Guess I need spacers now, so much better
Love the color combo. Overall it’s actually in really good condition
Yeah not too bad man! Seats and knuckles are the only "big" items for me to knock out now.
That front fender looks great. 👌 nice shorts.
Sky’s out, thighs out.
Looking good!
Thanks man!
Looks amazing!! 😀
Thank you!!!
Aweeesome 80 man thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great looking 80 man. I’ve a 97 CE with about 273K on it. I got mine for 9K and did a similar journey you did.
Nice!

Sweet! What kit do you recommend? Also, what's shipping like that going to cost?
Hey man can I buy the bumper if he doesn’t?

I have considered it, but between the hassle and $350+ price, I’ve decided to hold off for now.
Love the rig you’re working on. What’s the mileage/MPG you get with it louis side of Austin curious about your rag
Honestly, I haven't calculated it on this cruiser yet. But you can expect 11-14 mpg on these.

I appreciate it. I’ll probably do the L seats as cost is the top priority for me on them and they look good enough
80 bucks is insane. I paid 500 for a non faded set of flares.
Yeah man. I knew the shipping would be double or triple the cost of them and was happy with that 👍
