Now that there are 2 countries that have adopted bitcoin btc as official currency (El Salavador and CAR(questionable))..curious to know how many members on here have wallets and whether in many many years to come it may be the preferred way of int.payments for fuel and even parts etc.

Any recommendations for car storage for 6 months+...preferably near Leamington Spa or somewhere not too remote near a transport hub (Airport or train station). Thanks. Please PM.

Had a couple of days to kill, so decided to sound proof the 80 once and for all, mainly the flooring, rear side panels and doors. Stripping the interior fairly was straight forward and amazed by the show room finish under the carpet. No major rust or gaping holes to fill. Just the odd screw...

I know this has been posted on Ih8mud a few years ago, but am half toying with the idea of converting mine to the quad 80 headlight, as below. Does anybody have a set of these lying around? I dont need the sealed bulb units as i plan to add the Ultraflex LED...or will these be an instant MOT...

Just seen this on the net, may appeal to some on here looking for a small size fridge. Not sure how it would stand up to overlanding... https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ifreezer-go20-the-redesigned-car-freezer#/

I do apologise for the lateness of adding this brief write up to the club forum. The problem with having an 80 is that there is always something that needs modifying or changing..or driving somewhere..it's never ending (in a good way). In part I owe this post to numerous people on this forum who...

Before I throw these on the social selling sites, thought I'd offer here first. These are surplus to requirement. I have exactly the same pair on my 80, but don't need x 4! 2 x Brand New & Boxed CARiD Lumen 9.5 inch 54 W 18 LED Dual Row. All details, extras, mounting options, wiring etc listed...

Just a quick summary of what I have been trying to do about the annoying coil light that remains on once up and running. And to thank those I have pmd and whatsapp at all times of the day (you know who you all are!). So the light in question shines like the north star on my dashboard, which I...

I have some parts listed below, surplus to requirements. Original parts are off a 1997 24v GX (manual). Best to PM me with $ sensible offers (or I'll put them on Fleabay) and then sort out delivery/pick up in UK, later this month. 1. 24v starter (brand?) 2. Front & Rear Diff Actuators (working)...

Curious to know if any member on here is driving around in an 80 series reg P777 xxx, sort of light purple colour - (could be horribly mistaken) in the Algarve.

Starting July 2nd (12 trips panned for 2018) the Volcan de Tijarafe will be making a triangular ferry route linking Portimao (Algarve), Funchal (Maderia) and Tenerrife (Canary Islands) - taking approx 23 hours. A couple more destinations for us to explore.

Is there one? Year 2021 brings up 70 years of the Toyota Jeep BJ Year 2025 brings up 70 years for 'Landcruiser' with the 55 series It's just that there is a lot of chatter on the web (not from Towpack's clutch) as it's 70 years of Landrover today...and acclaimed as World Landrover Day. Maybe...

Just seeing if anyone knows the owner of this 80 spotted near Ware at the weekend, at a tractor ploughing competition. I wasn't there.

I recognised the badge on the grill. Latest Special Ops Vehicle taking the best of 4x4 & 6x6.

Thought I might share a couple of pics from a friend of mine who was offroading in Georgia recently. Details are a little sketchy, but was a group travelling from Russia in August and the route they were on was a little dangerous. Anyway a large rock landed on the bonnet of one of the 80s. Bit...

Did anybody else read about the smart box device that claims to reduce fuel bills and emissions? Called Ezero1 from CGON It came from the Daily Mail.

So I'm down in Port Stanley and I have seen more Landcruisers in one day than in any other part of the world! With a residential population of 3000, there are about 100 80/100 series and none are for sale! They command same prices as in the UK and all are keepers. Looks like they have been...

Channel 4 are commissioning a new series called Escape '...in which a group of highly skilled engineers will be put into a catastrophic scene and left to find a way to escape. Inspired by real life events, the series will follow a small group of skilled people stranded at a crash site in a...

If anyone is going to Paris, take note of the new anti-pollution laws and your vehicles. I think there will be a few grey stickers for this club.

Wasn't sure if this has been covered under rust busting, but maybe in the near future we could have a drive through laser treatment for the Landcruiser.

I wonder if they will take overland vehicles in the future. Would make exploring Mongolia and SE Asia more open, saving the long drive from Europe.

Wonder if we will see an 'overlander' version of the The Ox I guess the attraction would be able to flat pack the vehicle in Vladivostok, Halifax, Cape Town & Rio etc to complete the round the world tour without container'ising it.

Maybe treat your Landcruiser to a new Xmas present Handypresso Something about having a caffeine fix whilst stuck in UK traffic, without having to get the Jet Boil out or 3-in-1.

Here is a link to Nat Geo Topo Maps which can be downloaded or printed out as 'flat gps'. More useful for those travelling in the USA.

Looks like GB and (other countries) are set to see a new pick-up on the roads in 2017. The V6 Mercedes X Class

Just popped down to my local garage in Portugal and found a couple of 40s being restored. No idea where they were found, but no expense has been spared. Seems that rust on the main bodywork was not possible to fix, so owners have used fiberglass molds. Have attached some pics, cos I know you...

Just spent an exciting few days in Sierra de Cazorla, driving gravel tracks, wild camping and hiking up mountains. Those heading to the SE of Spain should think about driving in and doing the north/south route over the top. Highly recommended. 1. Main map of the area, which shows a 478 km...

As I am planning on swapping out my flares and reading some of the responses from others having bought suspect products off ebay/aliexpress/gumtree I thought I would check to see if there was any interest in buying a bunch from a contact of mine in Malaysia. For the 80 series, the 8 piece sets...

Did anybody else watch the football doco on BBC1, about playing on all 7 continents in 10 days? Anyway on leaving Djibouti Airport in a Defender, the inevitable happens; it develops a serious overheating problem and breaks down. Luckily he jumps into the camera crew's Land Cruiser and drives...

For those of you looking for an alternative 'Touristic Route' to take your Landcruiser on might like to look at the Government's new initiative to make the 738 km road from Chaves (N) to Faro (S) a national heritage road in Portugal. The route is here...

Just seeing if anyone on the forum knew of this UK plated 4x4 group I passed today near the west coast beach of Carapateira in Portugal. There was nobody in them, perhaps they had all walked down to the beach. Lead vehicle was a Landcruiser...the rest mainly LRs with one stickered as Surrey...

Now that I have reached my statutory '15' posts, i guess its time to introduce myself and post some pics (which I am afraid are not riveting unless you like a rusty chassis). Not so long ago, I challenged myself to drive solo from Hong Kong to Portugal...because I could. I wanted to see how far...

Having had positive feedback and support from the forum I thought I would share my recent experience of the new '80 chapter' of my life. After many months of nosing around on the internet and making phone calls to potential sellers I eventually found a car in London. I booked a single flight...

If anybody on this forum knows anyone selling an LC80, I would be grateful for any info. Not the easiest of 4x4's to find these days in semi good condition). Specs: LC80 24v 4.2 T Diesel <130,000 miles) auto/diesel (semi modified OK). I have seen details to 2 units being sold by Metrocars...
