My Journey restoring a beautiful Fzj80. I love the 80 series, because if I run into some trouble along the way on my overlanding trips, she will bail me out! I know she can take me to the edge of the world and back driving north on the Dempster Highway to the Arctic Ocean.
On this video I try to give you a detailed understanding of what sort of ingenuity and design work goes into restoring this great Land Cruiser!

@pvorana 4 года назад

Nice looking rig. I have a turbo 1997 LX450, it's need of a cosmetic overhaul. I noticed you spent a lot of hours preparing and installing parts back on to the rig. This is just another motivational video for me to get it done.

@ericktoss 4 года назад

Thanks John, Yes the 80 series are amazing! I am about 90% done restoring it. I am putting a lot of passion on it and have spent quite a bit, however I think is worth it! Good luck with your's and keep building it!

@jimmythegeekstickeyrice6062 3 года назад

Fzj80 Lifestyle can a 91 have a turbo installed? If so what model turbo do you recommend?

I'm in the work of restoring my lc80 with engine overhaul, new booster, new masters, new fuse boxes and restored engine wiring harness. Transmission and 4wd is all in good shape fitted with new seals all around. Drive shafts and diffs are still in the work. Long process but rewording once finished.

Go for it! These are amazing trucks!! Unfortunately I had to sell mine, however I will be rebuilding another one in the future.

Thanks for sharing your build. It inspired my 80 series build. Any chance you remember the color code that you used for your bumpers?

@williambb9913 3 года назад

Nicely done- put the time in effort to do it correctly. And I agree, this did not require a frame-off restoration for the purpose of this rig.

@ericktoss 5 месяцев назад

Nop, no frame restoration!

@mikkiregalado 2 года назад

Info on the paint job please, local to socal hopefully. Please let me know looking to color change my LC. Love the attention to detail on your paint job. Thanks

@ericktoss 5 месяцев назад

A local shop in Burbank, CA did the paint job, however they are no longer around.

@haushomberg1296 3 месяца назад

Awesome Rig and a real nice job. Looks amazing on that color. But why didn’t you put some more offroad gear on it? A descent winch, a snorkel, steel bumps, rock sliders etc. Ok if you’re not planning to go offroad … but than why an 80 series? I had two of these bulletproof ones, HDJ and FZJ … less beautiful but with some useful gear on it. Now I have a 105 .. which is a real strong beast. But the look of the 80series is just the best … thanks anyway for your very nice video. Enjoyed it very much. Best greetings from the Swiss Alps🇨🇭

@jeffschaninger2896 2 года назад

Looks sharp. I am curious how much you sunk into this restoration job.

@ericktoss 5 месяцев назад

I spent about $17k

@mlinder2000 3 года назад

Did you do the dash. Looks like something I need to do on my LX470. Honestly I'd rather restore an 80 but I already have an LX that was in the family so. probably going to stick with it. Do you have more info about the build somewhere? Would love to see more about it 👍

@heydiahrea 3 года назад

I’m in the same situation but I’ll probably clean up the LX470 then sell it and buy an 80 series

@ericktoss 5 месяцев назад

We took the dash completely out and removed the covering with a heat gun, then my upholsterer recovered it with new material. I give info on the things I used throughout the video. Also at the end there is a list.

@familypalencia 4 года назад

How much for the paint job? Amazing work and color choice! I was thinking about nardo grey, but your color is awesome!

@ericktoss 5 месяцев назад

The paint job back then was about $8k, however, o notice that it’s much more expensive now.

@HelpfulHarry 4 года назад

can you can give price breakdowns? curious to know what it would cost to get mines to that level

@TahaAbbasi 3 года назад

I was thinking the same thing, a price breakdown would be epic

Who rebuilt the transmission and where did you get parts for that ?

A local shop here in San Fernando Valley “Transtec Transmissions” rebuilt it. They found the parts.

The fzj80 is awesome in either diesel or gas!

The diesel would be better plus it has a turbo

Diesel for sure

Found a 1993 LC with 86k miles. It was imported from Japan and from talking with the dealer and looking at photos, the suv seems to be in really great condition. He said there is no rust and everything is working perfect!? Should I pull the plug?? What are other things I should ask? (The vehicle is in Virginia and I am in tx. I don’t want to fly there to look at it)

Yes! Go for it. These are amazing trucks!!

I mention the vendor on the video. I believe it was depo lights. There is also a list at the end of the video.

@TheGameBraderz 5 месяцев назад

Nice... i love your VXR 80 Just some advise.. You should put some bumper front & back ARB with some winch your tire need "extend" to outside, buy some tire adapter at least 3-5 cm. But overall looks good...

@ImTheOnlyOracle 3 года назад

What’s your lift kit and tire sizes

Lift kit is 3” on the original wheels with 33”s

Would buying a 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series FZJ80 for $6K with 165K be a good price? Of course it needs some fixing, I’m just really new to this
