Hi Mike,
I have a couple of 80's and just like getting them right.
I would love to be able to sort out my drivers seat, foam and cover. one has a passenger headlight washer missing.
I need to replace the big end shells etc on one.
The door glass rubbers need replacing on one along with a motor, I have been looking at a lexus ls400 motor? looks the same.
Auto gear stick leather cover.
Just interested in what you carry really.
Have you ever chopped the back off one? been thinking about making a tray back and have also toyed with the idea of making a double cab with a tray back.
Just love the 80 series and couldn't think what else could replace it, it does everything I need and also gets all the family in. Heated mirrors would be handy when towing and also some decent reverse lights.to be able to open the window and not the door in winter would be nice!!
evening michael.
drivers seat foam. check.
headlight washer. one side has recently become NLA. i have the other side in stock. cant remember which..will check. bit ironic as i need the NLA one myself, having sold about a dozen of these.. i keep looking for NOS though.
BEBs and bolts. check.
window rubbers. check.
genuine motors still available to order. ive fitted a couple of the after market ones from milners to cutomers 80s and they seem reasonable for the price. i also have the moisture barriers in stock.
auto gear stick still available to order. a re-cover may be a cheaper option.
i tend to forget some of the more obscure stuff i have until someone asks..
off the top of my head i have cambelt kits in, full body mount kits, arb bush kits, overhead console sun visors, upper rear hatch lock mechs, ignition keys and barrels, injector washers, fuel return pipe washers, etc etc. plus a lot of popular items on order.
a mate of mine has:
yes, a double cab extended 80 with a trayon camper is my perfect set up. ive done a fair bit of research but time and money, as ever, are an issue.
i completely agree. the 80 is the best all round 4x4 ever to be made and ever will be imo. what to replace it with? i cant think of anything..
heated mirrors? here you go:
heated mirror install - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]
i also retro fitted the JDM folding mirrors when i did this. there is a thread some where.
cheers
mike
