I have a built 80 with lockers but yet recently find myself obsessed with getting a 2006/2007 UJ100.
Ha, thanks I may need that.1agswitchin4lanes said:Complete Idiot said:

I just constantly want new vehicles. I come up with weird justifications, like the 100 would be something more reliable I could drive more often and keep miles off my other car (which I would like to keep low mileage if possible). Maintenance and issues on the 80 are more likely than a ten year younger 100. Justify, justify.
But you usually buy new ones without selling old ones.1agswitchin4lanes said:Welcome to my world. Go through this on a daily basis!Complete Idiot said:Ha, thanks I may need that.1agswitchin4lanes said:Complete Idiot said:

If I had the space for more vehicles, I'd probably have a real problem. As it stands now I keep 3 at the house and two at a storage facility. Upkeep, insurance, storage fees already pretty dumb.
Nope, no 40. This is my first Land Cruiser.reddog90 said:
Post some pics of your 80. Do you have a 40?
I want to like it, but always looks too 'narrow' to me, and most of the people that drive them are women....beefiedoubleoh said:
Always liked the gx470
Leave it in 1ags' parking lo...er...driveway with a keg. Come back in 3 weeks to your restored 40.reddog90 said:
Anyone on here worked on a 40? Thinking about picking up a project truck and slowly working on it over the next couple years. Never done this before though.
I was in an 06 4Runner and just upgraded to my LC. I was originally looking at 08+, but settled on an 05 after seeing some 100s in the 400-500k mile range on ih8mud. I was looking at fzj80s, but chose the 100 since it will be my daily driver and will be better on the highway.HBCanine08 said:
Used LC will by next car. I've been debating selling my '07 4Runner towards getting one.

Where do you live?
A FJ40 is fun but the FZJ80 is much more fun with creature comforts such as AC and power features, and ABS etc.reddog90 said:
I feel like a restomod fj40 would be more practical as a fun car around town for me rather than an overland fzj80. I'd realistically make it to big bend or southwest CO maybe once a year to enjoy the 80 for what it's meant to do. I think a frame off resto is out of my league but I'm eager to learn. Where did you guys start? Just buy something and dig in?

Thanks. Would buying a modestly built, well maintained fzj80 on mud be a good route? That could save me a lot of money on bumpers, rack, lights, lift, tires, etc. Then I can enjoy and fix/maintain it myself to learn.
I have a hard time justifying ~$15k on a stock locked fzj80 with <200k miles, then putting another $10k in mods into it when I see built rigs that look like they've been maintained well in mud classifieds for just a little more money. But then I don't get to do the work myself...
