My mother daily drives a '94 FZJ80 that currently has around 160k miles. My uncle, who was the first owner, gave his Land Cruiser to my father for free after he wrecked it when he hit a light pole during a heavy rainstorm in '99. My father completely fixed it in the autoshop he owned at the time and it's still running strong to this day. My mother only drives 20 miles in total each day, 5 days a week. It has been on a couple of long roadtrips before, but we prefer to take something else that is more fuel efficient unless we have more than 4 passengers. It has never been on any actual offroad trail before, we live in California, and it's mostly been driven by a middle-aged woman, so it's still in pretty good condition. And no, we will never sell it. I am a very sentimental person, so I will try to keep it in my family for as long as I can- even after I'm gone.

same as me i not gonna let them sell it I M GONNA keep it .... LC lover 🤩

I'm so happy I bought my 80 last summer while prices were lower. Granted I paid more than you (mine was under 200k) and needed much less work. I've begun my preventative maintenance now, replacing all hoses, and giving it a decent overhaul for my upcoming summer trips. I've decided to never sell mine too. Lucked out and found the two-tone color

My 1992 Toyota Landcruiser just rolled over 239,000 miles. Oh the mighty 3FE

Mine is a 1996 White, Triple Locked, FZJ80 with 118K miles. I made sure it was thoroughly maintenance when I first purchased it and now I just keep up with the routine maintenance. Glad I purchased it back in 2018. Looks fantastic!

1993 FZJ80 with 213 Kmiles. Just completed a 3000 mile road trip to New Mexico and back with no problems. How may vehicles can chew up and spit out the off-pavement stuff and still do a smooth and easy 80 mph on the freeway? At least once a month someone stops at my driveway and asks if I'll sell - I always say no. It's like an old pair of shoes; familiar, comfortable, and we've had a lot of adventures together. I'm not going to tell you how little I paid for it when I bought it eight years ago - it will just piss you off!

My parents handed me down their 97 fully locked and supercharged 80 back in 2004. 232,000 miles and counting.

As requested --- I am leaving some background on my landcruiser in your comments section. FJ80 - 1993 Green with Brown 36,300 miles no lockers, no leather , no wood. It is in showroom condition and still has the new car smell. I am the second owner. It has been stored in a heated garage for the last 16 years and I recently "reactivated it"...... I have watched several of your videos - thanks for making them I plan to sell it in november or before I head back to florida for the winter.

My 94 FZJ80 just clocked 570,000 km on a trip pulling our 2.4 ton dual axle caravan, she wanders and shakes as all the bushings are worn and I'm working my way through all that stuff bit by bit, she gets the job done, works her bum off doing it without fail, good old 1fz-fe has a big heart, dual fuel petrol and LPG, as my wife says "she's a beast " that's why they're going up in value....actually priceless to me, cheers from Australia.

1996 Land Cruiser with low miles. I bought it from my friend and it only has 124, 000 miles when I got it. Currently, the odometer reading is 132,00 miles and I love it!

My 1995 white FZJ80 has 245,000 miles and it's the best car that I've ever owned PERIOD! I am 51 years and a confirmed car fanatic. I've owned 3 BMWs, 6 Porsches, just to name a few! Nothing touches my Land Cruiser 80 for quality, reliability and functionality. My triple-locked Cruiser looks almost new and is rattle-free. I love her!! Get them while you can, cause they are going to keep climbing in price, regardless of this temporary automotive bubble that we are in. Excellent videos! Cheers!!

1997 FZJ80, Purchased 2019 for $6,300 with 219k. No lockers 😿. Dealer serviced yet minor surface rust. Still undergoing baselining. Hasn’t been driven for almost a year. Your videos are motivating me! I’ve been hoarding car parts. Thank you and please keep it up!

1996 FZJ80 LX450. 209k as of this morning and running great! Also a nor cal native (Sonoma County) but currently living in Phoenix. Love your channel and keep up the good work!

Great video, and very informational! Thanks.

Just bought a 91 LC in Nov 2021. Had to beg my neighbor to sell it. Has 208K on the clock and runs great. All stock. Been learning about it and doing preventative maintenance. Thanks for all your videos on the 3FE. They’ve really helped out alot!

First, glad I stumbled across your channel! I have a ‘91’ with approx…225k+…picked her up from a friend for $1700. Went into this adventure, knowing I will have to spend time and resources. Continue to learn its not a Ford or Chevy when it comes to replace/repair ‘stuff’! lol 😂 Such as the water pump!….OMG!!! that was an adventure in its self. I actually did not know what I had when I purchased her. Also picked up a ‘93’ ‘doner’ cruiser for parts for $150 that the person who had it was just going to scrapped….the purchase has already paid for itself! Now my current lesson in life involving my ‘91’ is the breaks systems….again….not a ford or chevy….lol 😆 Anyways….thank you for these videos….has hugely helped me…by at least giving me a starting point!

Just purchased a 1997 LX450. FZJ80. Overall good shape and has 240k miles. Love it

I picked up a 93 triple locked LC 2 weeks ago. In great shape with no rust. Just needs the front knuckle rebuild and new birfield joints.

HDJ 80, 4.2L, 12V, 1991, manual, 248.000 miles, New caledonia

Dude!!!!! Great content,,,, I really Love my LC more now.

1996 LX450 triple lock with 500,000 miles and was given to me FREE. I just restored the tired interior and rebuilt the front axle with Marvin Crawler axle seals and spindle bearings in the place of the stock bushings. Roof and hood paint fading but she still is royal. We refer to her as "Her Highness." This is one super fine elegant vehicle that keeps going up in value.

Thank goodness I got mine at invoice last August before the announcement and this craziness started. I have seen many new ones asking price over $100,000 especially in California and Colorado. This will continue to go up as you say in your video and completely agree but I would add that the 200 series will go down as the most sought after Land Cruiser ever made.

You are delusional. 80 is obviously the best.

Mine is a 1991 with 186k on mileage, really love your videos learned a lot in the last couple of weeks. I’m still need to do some work on the electric (whispers go slow, turn signals doesn’t work properly etc) but I know for sure my FJ80 is a beauty also I own a Fj 40 1981 with over 250k Mileages. What I love about my Land Cruiser is that the condition (specially on the dash, Sears, plastic cover etc) are really good. Keep it up with the videos I have a tonz of doubts about some issues on my FJ80 that maybe you can address.

I have a 1996 Land Cruiser! It has 494,000 miles. Back in June the motor started to make a ton of noise so I had it rebuilt. It took them five months but I have it back and it's going through it's break in period. I've take it camping way out in the desert & skiing and it's running beautifully. I was really concerned about spending the money for the rebuild but now that I've seen what people are paying for these vehicles I feel like I made a good decision. Thanks for the information!

You're getting much better explaining our rigs. Bravo.

91 land cruiser white,recently replaced radiator,water pump ,alternator,power steering pump and battery. Some small mods 33” m/t and. 3” ome lift. Extended brake lines, quick release front sway bars.2 inverters and fuel filter. Rear drawers they were given to me out of another cruiser. Payed 6500 clean body the front driver seat need help. I enjoy your channel and have taken several suggestions. I also live in NorCal. Have a great day

Mine is a 2005 LC100 with 350000 kms and still runs smooth. I have lifted the vehicle 3inches and taken to the desert couple of times and its an amazing performer. I just love my LC100 and my heart will break to sell it, if I have to.

I have a 2005 lx470 with 163k miles. Purchased it last year for 7300. Needed some work but now it serves us well on all our roadtrips. The family loves it.

1997 with 272k miles, just tuned him up & rebuilt my front end, getting ready for some brake work & valve gaskets & spark plug tube seals. Proud 3rd owner for over 15 years

I’ve had my 97, FZJ80 for 13 years now. Bought it with 150 k miles on it, just rolled 222,222. My wife prefers to drive it over her GL550 and my kids have learned to drive in it. It’s outlived all other cars we’ve owned and will likely be in our family forever.

Thanks Jeffrey!

96 Lx450. Bought it 7 years ago with 190k miles. Now, it has 280. It has had a few minor breakdowns on the road but never left me stranded. I have always been able to fix on-site or limp back home. I do all maintenance myself, which gives me a good idea of what it is capable of. I would not hesitate to drive it cross-country tomorrow.

My LC is a 1991 FJ80. Bought her from a guy in Asheville back in April. We just passed 376,000 miles on the way back from a trip to the mountains. Other than a couple of small things she runs like a dream.

91 fj80 center lock, 336,334 miles as of today. Wife and son in law surprised me for 45th birthday 6 years ago. They spent 2,300.00. Its looks identical to yours. Keep the video's coming enjoy all of them .

Mine is a 1994 with 285,000 miles. I paid $5k for her in 2019 and I’ve been fortunate to only have to do small maintenance for a 28 year old vehicle. Such as replacing hoses, fluids, o2 sensors, egr valves… It’s amazing what this vehicle can do! Thank you for your videos!

Mine's a '93 w/263K. Bought it 18 months ago for $5500 at 258K, and thus far have only changed all the fluids, brakes, valve cover gasket, and converted the AC to 134a. Been wheeling it for most of the miles.

Glad I got my 80, although the high kms its still in great condition. Ill keep it for a long time to come. You just can't beat the reliability and simplicity of the old Landcruisers.

Picked up 03’ LX 470 with 203k miles. Ditched the AHC and she’s a beauty. Only paid 7500 last year.

1991 fj80 0ver 225,000 5.5in lift 4.88 gears on 35s. Garage built here by mammoth CA

92 with 3x lockers & 250k. Was my every day driver for 7 years. Became the beach and ski buggy after that. Purchased with about 170k on it for 10k in 2005. Was originally purchased by a condor rescue organization and meticulously maintained. Biggest job I’ve had to have done was a head job around 5 years ago. Mostly maintenance . Getting it ready for some upgrades, paint and interior. It’ll become the camping, mountain biking, hiking adventure vehicle.

I was about to sale it but after this video I have changed my mind about letting it go

1995 HDJ80 VX limited with 440000kms and still runs like a dream💪🏼 absolutely love it!

I bought a 93 LC (triple locked) in March 2021 for $4000. 330k miles but runs like a champ. I've put about 3k miles on it and had to paint, replace the throttle body and accelerator cable and I covered the trashed front leather seats with tape and seat covers.

1991 FJ80 with 242,000, starting to develop injector issues I think. If it idles for a more than 45 secs the idle starts to lope than when I get back on the gas it is slow than lurches and runs perfect again

I have a 94 land cruiser triple locked, gave 2000 dollars for it 8 years ago before anybody cared about them. It’s rust free have slowly added bumpers sliders lift and wheels and tires. Would take a small fortune for me to consider selling it. I think 94 is the year to have because it’s the last year of the big transmission last year without airbags and first year for antilock brakes. A good combination for an older ride.

I have a 91 land cruiser with about 332k miles. She still purrs like a kitten.

91 fj80 260k white with blue leather in good shape with a ton of recent work done to it a water pump,radiator, master cylinder all 4 brakes and tires Thermostat fan clutch and a full fluid flush and tune up spark plugs, distributor cap. I was shocked how smooth the motor ran and sifted down the road. Ya it makes some interesting sounds, the suspension seems a bit tired and there seems to be a good collection of oil under the pan but no rust and no real body damage I couldn’t be happier for 7k.

Great video, I have 2. 1985 60 series w/250k miles and 1998 100series w296k miles. Both run perfect 👍

its crazy the difference in the price from here in Australia to u in the US. you can buy a fully modified 80 with about 350k Kilometres for 15k so probably like 11K USD

I have a 1997 HDJ-80 Series 4.2 In line 6 Turbo Diesel, it has 186.000 miles and runs pretty well

Hi, mine is an Amazon 4.2litre turbo manual. Triple lockers factory fitted. Fitted a intercooler from a serious UK manufacturer Allisport…so good !! Currently 180k miles never uses oil…..only diesel 😂

97 lx450 with 235,000 miles. Will probably keep it forever. Paid 5,500 hundred for it. Found a head gasket leak the first month of ownership and paid 4,000 for an engine with 120,000 miles. Still love it and runs great!

97 white triple lock. My grandma bought new in 97 and I’ve been daily driving it since 08 when I took possession. 289k on the clock and runs like a top. Never selling and am currently buying way to many mods to completely overland build it this summer.

Don't have a land cruiser but going overlanding in the El Dorado National Forrest, Tahoe, etc. area. Would be awesome if we can meet on a trail at some point.

1996 1hz turbo 338,000 Kay's 5sd manual , manual locking hubs 👍

95 80 series 190k drive it from San Jose to azusa every month runs like a gem

For a little perspective , I bought brand new 91 for 28k and traded for new 93 with triple locker for 42k. Dealers only got around two a year back then.

I have a 1997 Lexus Lx 450 with 169K, vehicle is Stock with the exception of stereo head unit with amp and speakers. Had Vehicle inspected at ACC cruisers in Atlanta and from their feedback they said it was in exceptional condition and was easily worth 20Kplus....thinking about letting in go in the near future for the right offer.

I have a 1994 80 series, that I bought from a dear friend and the original owner. It had just 134k miles when I got it in summer of 2015. Today it has 201,000 k on it. I just did the pesky hose repair, new cv joints, changed the radiator hoses and radiator last year and I’m getting the valve cover gasket replaced next month. In the time I’ve had it I’ve put about 4,000 US in it( major repairs) another 800 in tires but that’s it! Oh I only paid 3, 800 cash for it! It came with an really nice snowboard rack. Hopefully I’ll get it repainted if I can find a shop I trust. I’ll drive it for life. Or would sell it only for a ridiculous price, but since I live in Colorado I most likely keep it forever.

The 80 series LandCruisers are my favorite, because of their capabilities and range off-road. These ToYodas I wouldn't mind having when I'm in a place to afford them.

I have a 1996, same color as you. Bought it for $1,600 from an older guy 3 years with 281K miles now. I bought it cheap but some body rust that I have to fix and some tune up. I do have a 2002 TLC too but I like the 80 series look.

I own a 97 triple locked with 214k. I bought it for 5k in 2014 with 145k before the demand went berzerk. I installed an OME 3" lift, and larger tires. Other than that just normal maintenance. I have owned a 92 LC, 96 LX450 triple locked, 02 LX470, and now the 97' 80. My wife drives a 06 LX470 with only 119k on the ticker. Best vehicles I have ever owned. Which is my fav? 97 fzj80 hands down, makes my wife jealous....but the most practical choice is the 06 LX....it tows, it hauls kids & gear in comfort, V8 power....it just does everything in style. Only downside to a LC is that they are thirsty....and a bad battery/alternator will drop an LC to its knees.

The high price is because the market. They are sold as working barebone vehivles in dozen other markets. Good video, you are right. They are overbuild because they are vehicles for work and extreme transportation in remote places. I am from Venezuela where we had eveb models only made for Venezuela. In a small town by the north end of the andes mountain, land cruiser was a must because of the daily driving in such tough conditions. Jeeps would be considered a venture vehicle.

Second owner drove over 25,000 miles a year for 2 years, all oil changes documented on Carfax and records found in the glove box.

2021 Land Cruiser, brought in October 2021 for $99999 which people think is crazy. Used with 11k. Dealership demo vehicle. I originally brought it to start my Land Cruiser channel but now that the value drastically increased. On the fence on just holding. Prices are like 120-130k at the moment . Would not be surprised if it hits 150k. Considering no more Land Cruiser in the states.

Gx470 (LC120) guy paying respect.

My family had those 80 series, im not sure what year was it because my dad owns it since i was born on 1995. This SUV really brought my childhood memories of interstate travelling. So far in my life, 26 yrs old, i have never saw a car that i knew, that uses 2 battery packs except this. One of the most impressive thing is, u guys here as the owner or former co-owner like me, how a diesel engine can crank very fast?!! Literally 1 second? Although, the engine was 1HD 24 valve turbo. However, that car was involved in an accident. It was toppled over, upside down. My dad tried to fix it, replace the whole body (thanks to ladder frame). Not as identical but most of it looks the same, maybe older version of body i suppose. But the problem arises on its engine after that accident. One after one problem shows up. Eventually my dad giving it up and sell it few years ago due to my dad’s business closure and unable to spend so much money to revive an LC80. Last time i checked before it was sold, the mileage was 550k Kilometers.

Just got a 92 , only has 159k miles but it’s been really neglected, the engine and undercarriage is in perfect shape though, It’s going to be a fun project, only complaint is it’s a dog off the line , oh well , I only paid 4500 , the guy had no clue what it was worth.

both my parents have cruisers too, my dad has a 2001 lc with 100k and my mom has a 2005 lx470 that just hit 50k we also have a 76 fj40 with 27k original miles

Question: Working with a company for my first package to put 17' wheels, 34" tires (thinking Toyo ATs)...they said they could do with adjusting the AHC only giving approx 1.5" lift and the AHC would still work. Has anyone done and AHC height on a 200 series LX? Is this ok or could it cause other problems? They advised thats what was done on the LX 201 concept as well but I'm not fully comfortable yet is knowing that that would be a good durable option for lift. Albeit it is a cost effective option (no parts needed...but about $500 labor. Anyone have advice or experience here?
