Just added this to the stable. Eventually I’ll complete the USDM collection, but I’m up to three Land Cruisers: 96' 80, ‘05 100, & ‘14 200.

Details: 1996, 188k miles, Triple Locked, One Owner, 100% Stock, Interior is in surprisingly good condition with no tears or cracks on the original leather. I have maintenance records all the way back to new!

The bad: Needs new Y pipe off the header as it sounds like a lawn mower right now. The clear coat is failing on the paint and there is some hail damage that will need to be removed.

Clearcoat is failing? ohh, that’s terrible. Phew, worst one I’ve seen.. it’s only going to get uglier. You should probably sell it..

to me.

My wife and I were just discussing how a 1-owner car is an amazing thing, but an “original owner house” is just realtor slang for “nothing has been fixed or updated. Ever.”

To my disbelief, I got it from the guy for $4800. Accepted my offer in ten minutes.

Woah, that’s an excellent find! You’ve done well.

A new Y-Pipe shouldn’t be too hard to come by. I think Maganaflow makes then for the dual-cat trucks. If I were doing a new Y-pipe, I’d go that route and have it ceramic/cerakoted along with the headers, new heater studs, and new exhaust mounts.

Looking forward to seeing more about it.

Oooooooo. I am looking to replace my Xterra (2wd) and Subaru (AWD) with another 80 series. When did they get soooooo expensive?

I know, right?

Whats the story on the maintenance ? Head gasket? PHH? axles? etc?

Still working through the docs, but so far it looks like a handful of seals , heater valve, starter, and basics. I plan to baseline the truck with new seals, PHH, misc hoses, etc. Compression was level across all cylinders and the previous owner stated that it had never been overheated. So it should be great starting point.

I would replace the rad as PM as well.

That’s the plan, assembling a parts list. I also plan to rotate the cats 90deg for more protection .

It’s on the to-do. Need to get my scangauge in to keep a better eye on temps in the meantime.

They will clog up over time but the big issue is the top tank becomes really brittle and can, um, explode.

Three Landies. That’s awesome.

I’m not allowed to start collecting cars until after we move.  It’s not keeping me from browsing for projects though!

I want one still, but I am having to save up for a couple of things more important than a vehicle right now (one of those things will hopefully have a shop and a lift in it’s future) , plus I do n’t have anywhere to park more than 3 vehicles.

It would have been four if I hadn’t foolishly sold my FJ40 to a buddy!
