80 series land cruiser futures

[skivan]

Just found an '03 one owner, dealer maintained with 134k. Drove it back from Houston yesterday. Was in TX visiting my sister and it popped up at a nearby Jaguar dealership. I contacted them as soon as i saw it listed, must have been underpriced since the sales guy seemed surprised about the number of out-of-state calls they were getting.

My initial enthusiasm has been tempered a bit after looking into updating the nav/audio. After reviewing a limited number of complex, uncertain options, i think i found my solution:

134k Thant’s great. What were details of sale?

You just want one of these. Have for my 04 100 series and works great.

19k. Never spent more than 8k on a car before so why not one that's 18 years old

Anyone want free (94)third row? Grey, no rips when I stored them. Pick up in San Francisco.

100 series is the most underrated and might be my favorite. Great pick up.

Search "bluetooth" on the 100 series section of Ih8mud. There are a few options. I can't remember what I did but I had mine working through the Aux option pretty well. Also checkout Landshark Outfitters storage options.

Loving it more every day. Storage options are a priority, thanks for the landshark suggestion. Been reading ih8mud nonstop, lots to learn

Probably not for the GOTOS thread. We did our annual drive a ways and soak in the desert trip. We used to be able to drive in the more difficult side of the river and have that side to ourselves but there has been some road sanitation and new bridge installed so it was busier than I've ever seen it. Meaning more than us camping. Had a run in with a redneck who came to chat with us thinking we shouldn't be camped by the hot springs because he wanted to use them. I told him he was welcome to use the tubs and that we brought what was needed to actually use them but that we were not moving. He left pissed off.

Later that night he drove his side by side over and sat in them and then came and shared my campfire with me. He was apologetic but said that he was tired of people like us showing up and ruining the solitude he's found in Idaho. I asked how many times he's been to where we were...three. I then asked if his opinion would be different if he was born in Idaho and had stayed the night at this exact spot over 30 times without ever having someone confront him about staying there. He said he would feel even more strongly about the situation. Silence... he got where I was coming from after a couple minutes and offered me some of his whiskey. We had a good conversation after that.

Rolled 222,222 on this trip.

Ugh. I've been in almost this exact type of situation. Unfortunately most times I dont blame certain people for seeing a certain type of vehicle(like my wifes 4runner) and jumping to conclusions. The sad reality is the majority of people driving "overland"(God I hate that term) vehicles are fucking douchnozzles who are posing/posting for the gram and blowing up spots. We went to a certain hot spring in N Idaho last thurs. I hadnt been there in prob 13yrs and was happy to have "only" 2 cars there. Makes me think of the bumper sticker "we still hang backcountry bloggers in Montana"

Sorry for the rant. I still want an 80 but having 2 other projects I cant justify the price of entry.

That's nice.

You'd best be SUPER confident in whomever did the swap. Even a marginally good job will lead to headaches. Ask me how I know.

How would you know?

And 'Whomever' was maggot Leavenworth Skier's company, I think.

Can confirm. Thought this was another one but same ad.

LWS is this the one I sent you off of CL w/ the trailer

I'm not in that game anymore, but that swap was done while I was there.

It drives nice.

[jackattack]

My 80 was parked next to that 80 once, it was so embarrassing I had to sell her.

Is this how all land cruiser people talk?

[MagnificentUnicorn]

It says pick up in the Methow Valley, that’s WA but the add and location is NV. Is this a scam? Did they trailer it from Sandpoint and never drive it after the swap? Seems fishy

sounds like they want to trade for a vehicle, bike, or mining land. idk how you'd scam that.

Stupid question time but can anyone comment on how this rig does on the highway? I won’t trailer it and would run it on highway for a few hours to off-road location. Can it tow a boat or motorcycle trailer?

Yes, but there are better options for less than $35k.

I suspect the seller is just looking for a national audience. There's a seattle ad too.

I have an FJ62 with a 2001 5.3L vortec and 4L60E and 80' series coil suspension, so at least close. It drives great on the highway--80mph all day. Gets around 14mpg but that's gearing dependent. The 5.3L is a quick motor but not super torquey so I'd describe towing as mediocre. The 4L60E is my least favorite transmission to drive but they're pretty reliable.

I have driven it on the highway, it does great. Much better than an 80 series with an inline 6. Is it worth the money? I dunno, it's probably not practical but most fun things aren't.

Also I doubt this swap will pass emissions in california or other stringent places fyi.

Bump for original question:

Some random was taking pics of my 200 series today at my office and a coworker pointed it out. I asked him what's up and he asked me all about it and what I paid for it. He then offered me 10% more than I have into it, 6 months after I bought it. I said no.

Futures on all LCs are currently strong.

Was the guy's last name Balcos and did he want to buy it because it actually looks like someone uses it?
