A California Rust free 80 is a Gem 💎. No other ways about it. Never buy an 80 in East Coast even if it say "Garaged all its life". There is Rust. Your Presentations of cruisers are awesome.
I have the same year about same miles original from Utah . I has very little rust (surface rust on frame) run great no problems . It's all original no mods. I just can justify spending 25k more for a truck from Cali . Also the rest of the country outside of Cali isn't the salt belt. I mean you can find the same truck in the southeast as well. I do love your videos they are informative but..
Southeast is decent, but they have that humidity.. And AZ, NM have that dry heat, which affects the rubber trim.. Just saying... CA vehicles just have great conditions.. But on coast or in mountains, they are still potentially subject to salt.
@homewithj1 Yes. It does. We have not seen your 80. You said UT it's whole life and that is has rust. The rust will not get up and leave, it's there and it eats. Next you said stock. So adding a lift costs $$ and makes it better, because it will be all new bushings too. And new BFG K02 tires, not some 265s... that are too small, so your buyer would have to invest in bigger tires. Then if you have "a little rust" then the rims 100% have worming and likely have to be re-done to be similar to these rims..Land Cruiser Heaven does them, for 1600. Condition of leather? probably not the same as this one, and grey is rare as well. So to answer your question, do I think this 80 is worth 10k + more than yours. Absolutely. However, there will be a budget minded buyer, whi has a 20k max budget, Who will justify that the rust "ain't so bad" and that they will add a lift later... and that they will re-do the driver seat later... and that's OK. But by the time they do everything, they will be much closer to this LCs price, and still have surface rust, that ain't going away. Sorry... you asked. Just being real.
well, you haven’t seen my car. I’m not selling Land Cruisers online. I do own one. it was originally from Utah and well taken care of and washed and kept in the garage. it’s never been used for rock climbing it’s never even pulled a trailer .I live in New York City I only drive for road trips or camping otherwise it’s stored in the garage .when I say, rust, I mean surface rust on the frame of the car which you’ll find in 90% of the cars in this country including California sea salt is salt and certainly is capable of rusting a car,. all the upgrades and add-ons I’ve always found to be subjective based on the idea that when someone buys something they’re gonna add the things that they like and prefer not something that was picked out for them so it cost $30,000 more I’ve seen a lot of, Land Cruisers that have been ruined with upgrades.The interior of one is in excellent condition . It has cloth seats which I prefer . I never understood the concept of people assume that they would have more knowledge than the Japanese engineers who’ve been building these vehicles for 70 years. That’s always been lost on me. That’s why mine has no modifications. it’s more than capable ,
Thank you for disclosing New York, which is way worse than Utah. You point out rust in California? We'll, if you live in Big Bear or Mammoth, or launch a boat into the Pacific.. sure..But that's less than 1%. Look, I understand you got a good deal for your UT Land Cruiser, and likely didn't buy one from California at a higher price. I get it, if you are in New York, why buy a clean rust free LC only to bring it through NY winters, slush and salt. But I am sure when you bought your 80, you weren't deciding between an even priced California 80, hence you compromised for one with a little rust. You are correct to say the Japanese were ahead of their time with engineering an incredible vehicle. But not 30 years ahead of their time..For instance, stereo technology has changed.. So Apple play or a double din is a nice upgrade. Also, a 2" lift is a must. A stock 80 looks like a low rider, and suspensions have improved. They had great cloth upholstery back then, but their leather did ot stand the test if time. Bumpers? You get plastic bumperettes.. you do not feel steel is an improvement over the plastic? Again, a stock LC is beautiful, but 33s and a 2" lift is even more beautifuller! 😍
Another phenomenal LC! Thank you Jamie for bringing us these incredibly beautiful rigs!
Even though I have a 100 series and I’m not in the market for an 80, I enjoy hearing your knowledge about LC’s.
Awesome truck!. I love the body styling. I have a 2021. How can I contact you for acquiring the the truck. Thanks !
Nice, do you have the Heritage edition?
You can reach me at cruisingtheland@gmail.com and I will give you my cell.
@@CruisingTheLand Yes, I have 2021 HE. awesome truck. I got last new one in North America back in 2021. I love the body styling of the 94-97.

If this was diesel it would’ve already been sold (to me). =) Absolutely beautiful truck.
The best Land Cruiser model. Is this price acceptable for this car?
This looks super nice, time has nothing on it

@@CruisingTheLand Does a Cali vehicle really justify a 20 to 30k price difference ?
@homewithj1 Yes. It does.

How much to ship to Hawaii?
I helped someone ship a Porsche Boxter to Hawaii a few years ago, and it was about 2k at the time.
You would have it shipped via Long Beach or Port of Los Angeles. So not difficult at all.
