THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON!

Amazing how comfortable we became with new cars that cupholders and rear AC is an issue now. Our grandparents would laugh @ us!!

Lethargic power windows, inoperable power seats, droopy sun visors, questionable head gaskets, saggy seat nets, weak parking brake, peeling clear coat, leaky sunroof, burnt antenna motor You’re going to love it.

Obligatory - “Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet?” Owning an 80 series will be an obsession for some time to come, as it steals away your thoughts with maintenance items, upgrades, and dreams of epic trips and trails. I love the FJ 80’s TOYOTA badge on the grille. It’s an absolute icon. Keep the content coming!!!

Man, you hit everything that I wish I knew before I bought mine. Your videos are awesome and they’ve motivated me to get to work on mine. Thanks from a fellow FJ80 owner in Mississippi!!

I was really impressed that my 80 came with cruise control - can't live without it now!

My son just purchased a ‘97 Land Cruiser. Your videos will be very helpful. Thank you so much and please keep doing what you do. We built a 66 mustang together and I am looking forward to working on this new project. We will use you as a resource. Thanks again.

“Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet?” I’m so glad you started making these videos, I just bought an fj80 last weekend and have been discovering many of the same things. I’m looking forward to your future videos!

New 80 series owner here and I couldn’t agree more. Maintenance is number one on my list, I won’t bother with any “bling” until all baseline maintenance has been done. I have a HDJ81 with the diesel 1-HDT engine. I wish there were more diesel videos out there. I have all of the maintenance manuals in English which is very helpful.

“Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet?” - Awesome videos! Thanks so much for the info. From South Africa and Driving a 97 1HD FT 80. She is awesome but needs more attention than your girl before a 2 week hunting trip with the boys! Keep it up

I was wondering why there was so many comments about "have you rebuild your knuckles yet?" Keep up the good work mate

I have the twin to yours!! Looking forward to the videos. Thank you and keep them coming!!

"Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet?" Thanks for the videos! Also have a '91 and appreciate the work you're doing. Any chance you're looking at the A/C system soon?

I’m rockin a 98 4runner and Timmy the tool man has literally a video for every possible maintenance/fix on the truck. Someone’s gotta do the same for the land cruiser. Cause I pretty much fully restored my truck using his videos.

P.s. I followed your instructions on throttle and trans cable. It's like driving a new car. Thank you, keep the ( videos) coming.

Man, watching this reminds me of my '93 Land Cruiser. I miss that car so much.

I'm a truck driver who's only own a sedan my whole life. Thanks for your vid but all the problems you've listed are super super minor for us oldies. What will really get us worried will be problems/common issues with the engine, gearbox (especially the autos, been driving manual all my life and getting tired of it) axle or common electricals. I am from south east asia where it's hot and rainy all year long and planning to get myself 1 80 series soon. Reason is just love it and the size advantage on the road. So now looking at every available vid online about it. Thanks and i enjoyed your vid bro. Have a nice day

Id gladly accept cup holders for my cruiser… I’ve literally spends all night watching your 80!videos.. good job on your editing and helping the 80 community with tips and tricks… :) congrats…

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? I did mine last year & the OTRAMM video on it saved me. I sub’d & have been binge watching all your vids. They’ve reminded me of lots of little things I still need to do to my 92 that I’ve had for over 6 years as my daily driver. Keep pumping out the vids man!

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? Just bought a 91 80 series love these videos , very handy

“Have you rebuilt you knuckles yet?” Awesome work on the videos, though I have a '93 i know most of the maintenance videos will still be hugely useful. Thanks!

Binge watching your videos. Might be finally buying a 80 series land cruiser after hunting them for over 10 years! Wish me luck!

A good friend of mine gave me a 1996 Lexus LX450 F R E E !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a 1996 4Runner 4X4 that was on its way to the scrap yard that I bought for $500.00 and I rebuilt/restored it to like new. I have a 2000 2X4 4Runner. I cannot wait to restore the 450. I am sure I will never have to buy another car or ever have to make another car payment the rest of my life and they all go up in value every year!!! I have a1994 F250 4X4 and a 2000 Lincoln Town Car Cartier so I guess the Lexus will make a "full house". We am so blessed.

I suggest getting a quality manual. Worth the money. Back in my day that’s all we had.

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? Cool video! I just bought my first 80 back in January.

I bought my 96 land cruiser in 2013 still use it as a daily driver today and love it pulls my boat to the lake I used to live in it for two years never worried about visors or drink holders and yes it does not have smart phone chargers when it was built these things did not exist if you need that junk I’d suggest another vehicle but if you want do anything dependability this vehicle beats any of the new junk any day

Have you rebuilt knuckles....knuckles....knuckles....knuckles 😆🤣. Great video

I own an 87 FJ60, but there always things that will wear out, need replacement parts, etc, on any older vehicles. No cup holder or phone charger is fine. It’s hard to do all sorts of things while your driving a 4 speed, and shifting gears.

Yup later model 80 has all sorted with sun visors and cup holders.My 98 model still did not have rear AC tho.

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet??? Just about to purchase my 80 series soon! I can’t wait to start making it my own.

In Australia. The 1990 92 Sahara has rear aircon and decent visors. Mine has a entire seperate aircondition built on ntor the rear panel between card and skin on the oppersite side to where the jack is.

based on what you know now, what would be a good price to pay for a LC80 series? I'm on the market for one, but I'm just curious to hear what you have to say about that. Thanks.

“Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet?” cob got one myself the afm shat itself today thou :( I’m missing it already

Thanks for sharing, planning on buying fj80 92 need all all those great tips and info on maintenance its 8500$ the fzj80 is 15000$ hoping for more videos thanks again nino

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? The cup holder part “Sucker” “Sucker”😂😂

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? I actually though this was a common issue among fJ80 when I read the comments before watching your video! Lol... I just got one in my country (a 2002 model, they kept making it up until 2008) and I do need to do some maintenance for the knuckles so I got a bit scared.

A tuffy console solved my addiction for hydration in my 60. I need to rebuild my knuckles also and have been putting it off so hoping you’ll motivate me by making it look easy! Ps same visor issue in my 1984 also… and no cup holders in 60series either

I have two four runners. and I agree about the knuckles. You have to remove this then that then this screw to take that out. That was headlight bulbs. Your knuckle are bleeding from taking off the headlight bulb.

''Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet?'' 94' HDJ80 over here 4.2 Turbo Diesel vibes :)

I like the classics but hell I like new cars and the creature comforts I have become accustomed to. Lol

I'm IT too I just got 97 lx450 love it

The US is not the only country in the world. The rest of the world can actually operate without cup holders😁. In South Africa we usually put the beer between our legs, right up against the nut hut, helps keep them cool too😁

Bro I went through the same thing when I got mine. I ended selling it because it turned out to be a money pit. You need at least 10k extra to get everything refreshed. The gas mileage was terrible. You need a shop with lift you want to work in it yourself. I found that that truck wasn’t for me. I ended up getting a 4Runner instead. I’m much happier with it

Finally scored two visors, not quite the same color but better than none.

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? Almost sold my FZFJ80 and then I found your channel. Made me appreciate what I had and smiles per miles is definitely a thing!

Cup holders? There are 3 OEM cup holders - under the ashtray, on the middle console and on the side of the console on the drivers side. You can also buy a used cup holder from other cars and install it on the center console on the passenger side. Sun visor is missing the plastic cylinder which holds it up once clicked into the holder. You can add something to it so it can hold up the visor. I still have them on my visors and they work perfectly. Phone charger? Amazon has a ton of phone charger adapters for car cigarette lighter. Maintenance videos? Ih8mud is a very good source and also KZfaq. Rear AC? They were included in models in Japan and those sent to the Middle East as well as Australia.

Cool video. Future planned 80 series owner.

There are cup holders, they are just the proper size rather than oversized ones that folks are used to now.

Yes u can get a twin cup holder in your double din radio box if it bothers you that badly

“Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet ?”

I am thinking about buying one with 95000km on it from 91. Needs some body work but thats doable. How is the automatic transmission holding up? Any problems I should look for. This one has pulled big trailers of 3500 kg (maybe more, but rated for that and has a big tow hook.)

Hey you can actually buy cup holders with wallet and celphone holders all in one. I just double sided taped mine just in front of the cooler, left of your shifting knob and just barely touching your RIGHT leg when driving. Love from the Philippines bro.

No offense, I have to chuckle 🤣. I understand you frustration with those nigly little things that are bugging you. But they are easily overcome. Keep your channel focused on your ongoing maintenance process. This will be the most valuable time you spend with your truck and for the viewers. I'm a PO of a 77 FJ40 Landcruiser and now have a 02 Mitsubishi Montero Sport 3.5L AWD. There is very little 🤏 to nothing on the Tube related to this vehicle also 🤦‍♂️🥺😫. I was shopping for a 80 series when I found the Spot. Good luck 👍and hang in there. Cheers 🍻, G.

Lol, I put my water bottle in the square thing near the shifter on the drive home.

I love the 91 land cruiser

Hi. Please tell me about your bull bar. What's the make / model? thanx

I know I’m late but Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? Buyer, “sucker” then seller “sucker”! 😂

Oz cruiser had rear a/c Sahara and fridge glovebox the best 4x4 it had everything that opened and shut way infront of competition Range Rover was high up in the luxury end as well

Did you do your knuckles yet love your videos very helpful I have 1997 lexus lx450 love my truck I'm in Guatemala 🇬🇹 central America I've had my truck for 7years now love my truck

Have you rebuild your knokels yet?

thanks bro, I'm in the prosses of buying a 1997 Prado, and I think I'm going to need your help, is there a way to get InTouch with you directly?

Great video. You must be a millennium. lol. NO PLUG in for your phone... and cup holders. in early 90s between your legs or hands were our cup holders. You make killer vids man. ..keep them.coming

This guy: buys 30 year old car Also this guy: I didn’t budget for maintenance

Good video and agreed on these and have gotten the cup holders off Etsy and there pretty good. Side note, no I have not rebuilt the knuckles and I installed a new radio with apple car play and added a rear view camera. Happy to connect and discuss if that’s something you want to do. I do have a few videos I’m hoping to post soon on that. Thank you

JDM and some EURO spec models have rear AC. you can see the clear tube in the back

I mount cup holders for a Tuffy console onto the back of my 80 series console.

Have you rebuilt you knuckles yet? Just picked up a 97 FJZ80. Enjoying your videos. Looking forward to more.

Unless you really truly know that you will never ever use a 12v cig accessory (like off-road GPS, a fridge, etc) then it's a mistake to rewire the cig port in the dash to have a USB connection. You can purchase a cig port to twin USB adaptor for $4AUD, so probably somewhere closer to $1.50USD. That gives you USB to charge USB devices without having to rewire anything or sacrifice the utility of the cig port. If you really want a USB only charge port, wire it into the centre console. Cup holders were a higher trim in the early to mid 90s. I'm not sure why you'd get upset about not having them. They're an easy. quick, cheap aftermarket install. It's a weird thing to regret. Any good auto shop or 4WD centre will be able to provide you a selection of aftermarket cup holders if they're that important to you. You'll find a cupholder is near useless on corrugations. No rear ac is an important one for families considering buying, because reducting to add in rear ac is expensive

there are more maint. videos for the 1hdt?

HAVE YOU REBUILT YOUR KNUCKLES YET? (I know I'm too late, but maybe I can buy the cup holders from you). ..... I have a 91 Land Cruiser. I need to fix it up. I'm gonna be checking your videos out for sure. I have a question, tho: Some of the pieces I need to replace are plastic. Would it be possible to 3D print those? Like the plastic ring around the key ignition. And the plastic... runner... whatever it's called... that helps the middle glove compartment slide up and down. Also, the handle for the back door (the one that rotates clockwise). Could you 3D print those? If so, I'd pay you for it.

Biggest gripe, no built in phone charger and no cup holder. Ist world problems right there 😂

Bought my 80 series a year ago for 5,200 Aud previous owner has neglected it and now I have rebuilt the motor from ground up cost 10,500 for the build and now runs like brand new also spent about 10 plus on accessories and still has more to go such a big money car but wouldn't have it any other way

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? Off to watch your sun visor video. I need a good recommendation there.

That’s true what your saying need more videos

Do you live in the Central Valley? I’m in Fresno and have 92 Fj80. Thank you for all your helpful videos because I have all of those issues with mine.

“Have you rebuilt you knuckles yet?”😉

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet?

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? I haven’t, and need to!🤣

Hows the gas mileage i have 01 Lexus is300 with 2gz in line 6 motor and it gulps premium gas

The 3d printed cup holder is worth it.

Have you rebuild your knuckles yet?

I have a '92. Just started wrenching myself and learning a lot. Definitely on the same boat! Btw, Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? :)

Have you rebuild your knuckles yet??

Have u rebuilt your knuckles yet Great vids,I have a 94 1fz, upgrade from the old 84 fj60 of previous 20 years Miss driving the 60 but have to love the comfort of the 80

Lack of maintenance videos on FJ80. You can always reference FJ62 videos, they have the same 3FE engine.

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet??

if you're looking for videos maybe try and find videos on the 60 series I think the engine in your old Land cruiser is held over from the 60 model

@Lndcruzin that switch that says rear heat on or off, vents cold air out the rear bottom of my center console towards rear passengers when I have the ac on, I just flick that switch on and it blows a decent amount of cold air up at them, don't know if it's supposed to do that or If something is broken but worth a try on your 80 series

I would ask if you've rebuilt your knuckle is yet but I've already bought ALL the cup holders from BH3DPrinting. I am a fan and would buy them again in a heart beat

I love my 💯 series much more than my 80

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? I have a 92 land cruiser. Thank you for your video help

Toyota spent too much money on the engine so they ran out of money when they had to finish the interior

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? I know it ended a long time ago, but would you by any chance have any 3d prints of them for sale?

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? Thanks for your great content, looking forward to seeing about those knuckles!

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? Mine's a '95. Replaced the rear hatch struts with OEM and I smiled for a week after I put it up half way and it raised itself up to fully open!
