Hello all.
Well I have joined the ranks of Land Cruiser owners with the purchase of my 1993 FZJ 80.
158k miles, two owner with only a few blemish's.
Have a list of what I think will be minor things to correct:
1) Sluggish steering/handling
2) Front brakes that have a bit sponginess and then growl/grab at the end.
3) Valve gasket and pan weeping slightly.
4) Correcting the cause of a Code 24 that the previous owner says has been in place for almost a year.
5) New Mirrors (current ones held in place with zip-ties)
Have a nice list of things wanting to add to the new acquisition:
1) 2-3" lift
2) Perhaps some Amp Research running boards
3) double DIN stereo with DVD nav.
4) Perhaps eventually an LS-3 swap when the time comes to address the engine.
I'm not new to forums and i will try and make best use of the search engine but I expect to have some questions of others real life experiences with some of the things to come.
Thanks in advance for the great opportunity to share this ride with this group.
