This is my 1993 FZJ80 Land Cruiser. I plan to make mechanical and functional improvements and use it as my "overland" vehicle for extended offroad trips.

A New Home for My Buns!
I got my Corbeau LG1 XL seats installed today. Pretty comfy, but a tight fit in an already snug vehicle made by small Japanese men.
I think I'll put some Scheel-Mann Vario XL seats in eventually, but these will do for now.
Stereo Redux 2.0... (There will be a 3.0) & Replacing Bulbs The PO (I think two POs ago) did a number on the stereo he installed. House speaker wire, power, ground, and accessory power wired apart from the factory harness and the factory amp gutted. He left a rat's nest of wires behind the dash as well as cutting out all the supports and just setting an aftermarket stereo in the hole. It took me a while to sort things out, get the joints soldered and everything to fit. It isn't where I want it to be, but it is better than it was. I decided to ignore the factory harness, and wire up a new one too. 3.0 will involve new speakers, new amp, new speaker wire and I'll connect all of it to the factory harness to keep things clean. I got the dimmer working! Installed new bulbs in the dash to improve visibility and get all the indicators working. I got all the switches and aux audio & power ports installed. I also shot the bezel with textured black topcoat so I could delete
Well at least headlight housings... I tracked down some South American spec headlight assemblies for my Yagi. These were a major list item for me if I ever owned an FZJ80 Land Cruiser and I am so pleased that I managed to find a brand new set. I found these in Dubai! I need to decide what to do for lights, but I am not in hurry on this one. I want to get it right. This is what it should look like once installed though.

It is purpose "bought not built" to become my primary "overland" and offroad vehicle while I complete work on my Bighorn FJ40 . Here's the specs... 1993 FZJ80 Land Cruiser 4 DOOR WAGON/SPORT UTILITY 4.5L I6 F DOHC 24V GASOLINE ALL WHEEL DRIVE NOT TRIPLE LOCKED (yet!) Seller's spiel... Rebuilt long block professionally installed with receipt at 215k miles. Less then 8k on fresh engine!!! I have had this build going for 2 years and all done correctly with new Toyota Parts. I built it thinking there is no way I would ever want to sell it. BUT life happens. Have receipts for most of the major work done. The engine runs like a beast has no problem doing 85 on the highway! Just got in from a 2k mile trip to Baja and would have no fear taking her all across the world. I have a custom sleeping platform made in the back with storage underneath and made a fridge slide for th
