This came up below in ‘similar threads’ the picture says they are different but look similar. I’d go for the correct ones to be safe Lug nuts 80 series - sorry - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

MAP sensor could be the issue so I’d change that first. Lots of things it could be but I’d tackle the usual service items after if not done recently such as air filter and fuel filters. Also check for a vacuum leak

Great job solving that problem. Hopefully all good from now. I’ve had similar experiences with second hand parts. A loom I bought ended up having a broken wire that caused days of head scratching. Not sure it was worth the saving

I would go with the lower cost Toyota option as it doesn’t seem like you need any marginal improvement in braking performance for your use. I’d look shop around too for reputable brand alternatives could be a lot less

Strange it was reduced to £20k and then sold now is back up at £25k. Either buyer messed about or seller had second thought on price. Looks a good job from the photos

I like to use the poly discs in a small grinder for surfaces but they do wear quite quickly. For corners and tighter areas I use 6mm wire brushes in a die grinder. I think I bought both corded secondhand for under half the price of new. It’s no fun under ramps and axle stands so use a full face...

Great work. I’ve seen 80s with the bottom of those rear quarters completely gone. Looks like they’d of been better off left open

It doesn’t look great although I find the GR sport version more appealing with the back grill and bumpers

That looks very nice. Love the blue and wheels look great

It would be based on how much it would cost to get a used one to the condition you want for the the intended use. Maybe up to £40k otherwise I’d start looking at some nice 200s. There was a 4,700 mile 80 stateside that went for $165k. Collectors logic is different though

A GS wouldn’t have come with a sunroof from the factory I don’t think so even if specified from new would have to have been fitted after. Alloys have also been fitted later. Looks very nice though and I’m liking the contrast of the original grey bumpers more and more

Put a duel exit (one each side) in front of rear wheels like the G63 AMG then set both rear tyre pressures a couple of PSI lower. Obviously makes more sense on the v8 with 2 exhaust manifolds

Crazy. Who’s footing the bill?

A strong dollar makes it a much more attractive price going to US
