We have a 93 triple factory locked, diesel that gets 28 mpg. It's the best overland set up you can get!! We are running street tires on a 2" lift and pull a home built hi clearance teardrop. They have increased in value because the preppers love them for bug out vehicles as they can burn veg oil. Campers love them around here to camp for free on crown land that's hard to get to as well as sportsmen for fishing in the back country.
Thanks man! Love the channel. Even rock the 3.slo gang on my 2nd gen’s lol Where do you go to for parts? I’ve heard Cruiser Outfitters is good. I usually use LCE for a few of my 2nd gen’s. Need to rebuild the birfields.

Had one for my first car, it's great living in the North East, never got stuck in the snow, but god damn, if you get the mid 90s 6 cyl, you'll be lucky to get 12 maybe 13 mpg. It's a tank for sure though, replaced mine with a 5th gen 4runner.

@@tomorrowcomestoday1621 In addition to what the other person said about many people wanting to be overlanders now, it's also probably because they're usually is great condition. Most populated areas of California doesn't get any snow, so many Californian-owned LC's have very little to no rust. They were also perhaps driven on the pavement by suburban families for most or all of their lives.
It’s already too late. Although I am probably the luckiest owner of the world. Just picked up a 97 locked for $750. Threw a battery in it and it started right up.
Only reason I bought a 60 instead of an 80 is because the 60 series will be free of road tax in 3 years, the 80 will not become free of road tax anymore. In the netherlands the road tax for a 60/80 is approx eur. 235 per month...
In Australia every second person drives either one of these or a Nissan Patrol as a decent farm vehicle or overlander. It's almost the exact opposite of the US as here prices have been ridiculously expensive since day dot - ie they never depreciated much. The opposite are Jeeps... I hear TJ Wranglers going for crazy prices in the US even with the crappy 4 cyl (we only got the inline 6 here thank god) anyway it's easy enough to pick one up for about $6,000 US with 100,000 miles if you keep your eye out. So yeah - a lot is social media - but remember a lot of us have been around well before that (I'm in my 50's). I think it's word of mouth.. everyone here thinks jeeps are crap so no-one buys them resulting in lower prices even though they are quite capable. Just as in the US everyone thought 'omgz jeeeeeep' they never bothered to look at anything else resulting in lower prices for Landcruisers there.
It is sad to sell a fj80 because of how great they are ... but at the same time it is very easy to sell them, 3 years ago I sold my first fj80 the same day that I put it up for sale and this week I decided to sell my new fj80 that I had a year working on it like a new proyect I see this video and I feel sad that I did it... but sometimes is good have some money under the pillow
