the troubles of buying a 30 year old vehicle

[@LNDCRUZIN]

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON!

[@lesliecook425]

do you have a link to the cupholders???

[@charlvandermerwe5883]

Amazing how comfortable we became with new cars that cupholders and rear AC is an issue now. Our grandparents would laugh @ us!!

[@jcurbin305]

Truth.

[@Jpedrozzza]

I use that little coin holder on the driverside fits every time :)

[@Shakshuka69]

My dad's 2018 duramax silverado that was a $60k truck has no rear AC lol

[@hanzo52]

Americans and their cupholders

[@fpartidafpartida]

Our grandparent cars didn’t have airbags or antilock breaks, but that doesn’t mean It’s cool or run around without them. They also rolled over and did tricks like throw their passenger out the window, but again, not something I’d be nostalgic about.

[@guitar14]

Lethargic power windows, inoperable power seats, droopy sun visors, questionable head gaskets, saggy seat nets, weak parking brake, peeling clear coat, leaky sunroof, burnt antenna motor You’re going to love it.

[@LNDCRUZIN]

You just made my part two video 😜

[@nedkelly1232]

Add to that list the ticking timebomb under the dash. Judging by the state of the hoses, the heater core will soon be leaking & he will love pulling the dash to replace it..

[@Gprimbs]

Which is why the FJ 55 kept to manual windows, very few power things to wear out. No power locks, roll up windows, no power seats, no power brakes or steering.

[@fiercemelon9300]

Im gonna add PHH on FZJ80 (if I ever meet the designer of that nightmare Im going to punch him in the face), faux wood accents, fender flares, and fuel milage....but it will likely be the last vehicle I ever own. Im gonna drive it til they stop making parts or I die....

[@Battle-Fiercely88]

@@Gprimbs Dido for the 70 series 1988 BJ74, everything works, even after an EMP!

[@michaeldame]

Obligatory - “Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet?” Owning an 80 series will be an obsession for some time to come, as it steals away your thoughts with maintenance items, upgrades, and dreams of epic trips and trails. I love the FJ 80’s TOYOTA badge on the grille. It’s an absolute icon. Keep the content coming!!!

[@LNDCRUZIN]

I couldn’t agree with you more it’s an obsession 😅

[@timfinkbeiner3880]

My son just purchased a ‘97 Land Cruiser. Your videos will be very helpful. Thank you so much and please keep doing what you do. We built a 66 mustang together and I am looking forward to working on this new project. We will use you as a resource. Thanks again.

[@LittleBJT]

Man, you hit everything that I wish I knew before I bought mine. Your videos are awesome and they’ve motivated me to get to work on mine. Thanks from a fellow FJ80 owner in Mississippi!!

[@LNDCRUZIN]

Thank you man I’m glad you like the videos, people like you are what make the 80 series community awesome!

[@donotwantahandle1111]

I was really impressed that my 80 came with cruise control - can't live without it now!

[@marcuscostantino2825]

“Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet?” I’m so glad you started making these videos, I just bought an fj80 last weekend and have been discovering many of the same things. I’m looking forward to your future videos!

[@LNDCRUZIN]

Yeah we are in the same boat! Happy to hear you enjoy my videos!

[@japiecoetzee6492]

“Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet?” - Awesome videos! Thanks so much for the info. From South Africa and Driving a 97 1HD FT 80. She is awesome but needs more attention than your girl before a 2 week hunting trip with the boys! Keep it up

[@Ghostrider-71]

New 80 series owner here and I couldn’t agree more. Maintenance is number one on my list, I won’t bother with any “bling” until all baseline maintenance has been done. I have a HDJ81 with the diesel 1-HDT engine. I wish there were more diesel videos out there. I have all of the maintenance manuals in English which is very helpful.

[@roadspectre7655]

I'm a truck driver who's only own a sedan my whole life. Thanks for your vid but all the problems you've listed are super super minor for us oldies. What will really get us worried will be problems/common issues with the engine, gearbox (especially the autos, been driving manual all my life and getting tired of it) axle or common electricals. I am from south east asia where it's hot and rainy all year long and planning to get myself 1 80 series soon. Reason is just love it and the size advantage on the road. So now looking at every available vid online about it. Thanks and i enjoyed your vid bro. Have a nice day

[@robertherrmann4823]

No cup holders? Why on earth did you not know that before buying? Don’t blame Toyota.

[@jonh5222]

I was wondering why there was so many comments about "have you rebuild your knuckles yet?" Keep up the good work mate

[@jvogler_art4708]

I’m rockin a 98 4runner and Timmy the tool man has literally a video for every possible maintenance/fix on the truck. Someone’s gotta do the same for the land cruiser. Cause I pretty much fully restored my truck using his videos.

[@robertclark2714]

A good friend of mine gave me a 1996 Lexus LX450 F R E E !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a 1996 4Runner 4X4 that was on its way to the scrap yard that I bought for $500.00 and I rebuilt/restored it to like new. I have a 2000 2X4 4Runner. I cannot wait to restore the 450. I am sure I will never have to buy another car or ever have to make another car payment the rest of my life and they all go up in value every year!!! I have a1994 F250 4X4 and a 2000 Lincoln Town Car Cartier so I guess the Lexus will make a "full house". We am so blessed.

[@Alan-tn6de]

I suggest getting a quality manual. Worth the money. Back in my day that’s all we had.

[@LNDCRUZIN]

I couldn’t agree with you more :)

[@mattclarke3839]

Hmmm.... complaining about a 30 year old car for not having a phone charger.... when phones weren't really a big thing... right Also the rear A/C was a top of the range option, get a Sahara model,

[@mullerandre95]

The US is not the only country in the world. The rest of the world can actually operate without cup holders😁. In South Africa we usually put the beer between our legs, right up against the nut hut, helps keep them cool too😁

[@LNDCRUZIN]

Greetings from California to South Africa 🙂

[@rodilbacopiado4532]

Mine was 1993 was Happy😅

[@PaydayGabeBCNV]

No offense, I have to chuckle 🤣. I understand you frustration with those nigly little things that are bugging you. But they are easily overcome. Keep your channel focused on your ongoing maintenance process. This will be the most valuable time you spend with your truck and for the viewers. I'm a PO of a 77 FJ40 Landcruiser and now have a 02 Mitsubishi Montero Sport 3.5L AWD. There is very little 🤏 to nothing on the Tube related to this vehicle also 🤦‍♂️🥺😫. I was shopping for a 80 series when I found the Spot. Good luck 👍and hang in there. Cheers 🍻, G.

[@LNDCRUZIN]

Thank you haha it was meant to be minor things since the 80 series was over built in many ways 😅

[@edwinthomas618]

Great video. You must be a millennium. lol. NO PLUG in for your phone... and cup holders. in early 90s between your legs or hands were our cup holders. You make killer vids man. ..keep them.coming

[@LNDCRUZIN]

lol I am a millennial, they say we are good at complaining LOL

[@tjmarx]

Unless you really truly know that you will never ever use a 12v cig accessory (like off-road GPS, a fridge, etc) then it's a mistake to rewire the cig port in the dash to have a USB connection. You can purchase a cig port to twin USB adaptor for $4AUD, so probably somewhere closer to $1.50USD. That gives you USB to charge USB devices without having to rewire anything or sacrifice the utility of the cig port. If you really want a USB only charge port, wire it into the centre console. Cup holders were a higher trim in the early to mid 90s. I'm not sure why you'd get upset about not having them. They're an easy. quick, cheap aftermarket install. It's a weird thing to regret. Any good auto shop or 4WD centre will be able to provide you a selection of aftermarket cup holders if they're that important to you. You'll find a cupholder is near useless on corrugations. No rear ac is an important one for families considering buying, because reducting to add in rear ac is expensive

[@lt.danhernandez1791]

I own a FZJ80. Cigarette plug straight up you can plug phone charger . I have rear AC. Power antenna. Power window. Power door lock. Third row seat. Sun roof. It depends on the model. I wish i have electronic lockers and part time 4wd just like my previous diesel version.. 95 up model has decent cup holder above the radio

[@everetthager9349]

P.s. I followed your instructions on throttle and trans cable. It's like driving a new car. Thank you, keep the ( videos) coming.

[@LNDCRUZIN]

I was very impressed on what a difference it made, I was skeptical at first lol.

[@ekneegoaler7717]

Cup holders? There are 3 OEM cup holders - under the ashtray, on the middle console and on the side of the console on the drivers side. You can also buy a used cup holder from other cars and install it on the center console on the passenger side. Sun visor is missing the plastic cylinder which holds it up once clicked into the holder. You can add something to it so it can hold up the visor. I still have them on my visors and they work perfectly. Phone charger? Amazon has a ton of phone charger adapters for car cigarette lighter. Maintenance videos? Ih8mud is a very good source and also KZbin. Rear AC? They were included in models in Japan and those sent to the Middle East as well as Australia.

[@edwardduarte7393]

I have two four runners. and I agree about the knuckles. You have to remove this then that then this screw to take that out. That was headlight bulbs. Your knuckle are bleeding from taking off the headlight bulb.

[@toddhansen8831]

I bought my 96 land cruiser in 2013 still use it as a daily driver today and love it pulls my boat to the lake I used to live in it for two years never worried about visors or drink holders and yes it does not have smart phone chargers when it was built these things did not exist if you need that junk I’d suggest another vehicle but if you want do anything dependability this vehicle beats any of the new junk any day

[@gordonong943]

There are cup holders, they are just the proper size rather than oversized ones that folks are used to now.

[@oldschoolromano5056]

Hows the gas mileage i have 01 Lexus is300 with 2gz in line 6 motor and it gulps premium gas

[@aufo8mycat]

In Australia. The 1990 92 Sahara has rear aircon and decent visors. Mine has a entire seperate aircondition built on ntor the rear panel between card and skin on the oppersite side to where the jack is.

[@Bruceillest101]

Bro I went through the same thing when I got mine. I ended selling it because it turned out to be a money pit. You need at least 10k extra to get everything refreshed. The gas mileage was terrible. You need a shop with lift you want to work in it yourself. I found that that truck wasn’t for me. I ended up getting a 4Runner instead. I’m much happier with it

[@562Omar]

Lack of maintenance videos on FJ80. You can always reference FJ62 videos, they have the same 3FE engine.

[@LNDCRUZIN]

That is very true!

[@562Omar]

Oh. ...and have you rebuilt your knuckles. When you do that job, hit me up. my 94 FZJ80 needs that done as well. Cheers from Whittier Ca.

[@LNDCRUZIN]

Awesome shout out from NorCal!

[@marcielynn4886]

Finally scored two visors, not quite the same color but better than none.

[@jasontysoe2631]

Yes u can get a twin cup holder in your double din radio box if it bothers you that badly

[@SuperHamKaas]

''Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet?'' 94' HDJ80 over here 4.2 Turbo Diesel vibes :)

I like the classics but hell I like new cars and the creature comforts I have become accustomed to. Lol

[@BrandonApplefield]

"Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet?" Thanks for the videos! Also have a '91 and appreciate the work you're doing. Any chance you're looking at the A/C system soon?

[@aarongerman7857]

JDM and some EURO spec models have rear AC. you can see the clear tube in the back

[@Sniperman460]

Man, watching this reminds me of my '93 Land Cruiser. I miss that car so much.

[@jonathanhandsmusic]

I own an 87 FJ60, but there always things that will wear out, need replacement parts, etc, on any older vehicles. No cup holder or phone charger is fine. It’s hard to do all sorts of things while your driving a 4 speed, and shifting gears.

[@harryrjones5975]

Question: when searching for your series 80 series how many had rust? How much rust was on the one you purchased?

[@tadeuszmichaelwlodarczyk3120]

Cup holders 😂 you shouldn't be drinking while driving.

[@Rcguyankid]

I will stick with my mitsubishi monero limited, amazing sun visors, rear ac, better mpg amazing 4wd system multiple year dakar rally champion, plenty of cup holders great reliability.

[@LostandFoundTravel]

Have YOU rebuilt your knuckles yet?

[@santitravajante3070]

Just did 10 days ago. Genuine Wipers, seals, bearings. Cleaning took most time.

[@marcielynn4886]

Gas mileage is not the best.

[@markmiretsky2328]

“Have you rebuilt you knuckles yet?” Awesome work on the videos, though I have a '93 i know most of the maintenance videos will still be hugely useful. Thanks!

[@legsofsteel1]

Yeah. Twice on 1 side 3 times on the other.

[@PeterKontor]

I'm IT too I just got 97 lx450 love it

[@WALTERESTERHUIZEN]

Yup later model 80 has all sorted with sun visors and cup holders.My 98 model still did not have rear AC tho.

[@bruce12393]

I know I’m late but Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? Buyer, “sucker” then seller “sucker”! 😂

[@earthwindnfire6407]

What year & model did you swap Sun visor with?

[@wildestcowboy2668]

95

[@drewdamon3138]

“Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet?” cob got one myself the afm shat itself today thou :( I’m missing it already

[@AbuAlfadl-GTR]

80 series it came with Rear AC but it is not an Option for US market. Same like manual transmission you don't have it on US market

[@HTTR_FOREVER21]

Have you rebuilt knuckles....knuckles....knuckles....knuckles 😆🤣. Great video

[@melraymundo3395]

Hey you can actually buy cup holders with wallet and celphone holders all in one. I just double sided taped mine just in front of the cooler, left of your shifting knob and just barely touching your RIGHT leg when driving. Love from the Philippines bro.

[@jailbreakoverlander]

heres the FIRST huge disservice your doing STOP USING NON TOYOTA PARTS. PERIOD.

[@danielfarooqi95]

Binge watching your videos. Might be finally buying a 80 series land cruiser after hunting them for over 10 years! Wish me luck!

[@kw3674]

Good luck man. I had been hunting 3rd gen 4runners for a long long time sort of like you with the 80 series. Never quite got my hands on one still, but few months back I purchased a 100 series. Been a ton of work on baseline maintenance, but well worth it. I love the 80series, and often wish I had the 80 haha. Good luck and hope you are able to pick one up.

[@victorromo1036]

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? The cup holder part “Sucker” “Sucker”😂😂

[@KD8RAP]

Some of it I just find amusing likelack of a phone charger, cup holders, and people needing to know to budget for maintenance. On top of that, lack of maintenance videos and and need for budgeting for repairs can be so much worse on other vehicles, so it isn't nearly as bad as it could be.

[@dennishatzidimitriou7899]

Oz cruiser had rear a/c Sahara and fridge glovebox the best 4x4 it had everything that opened and shut way infront of competition Range Rover was high up in the luxury end as well

[@ivankurza1345]

Why would you expect any kind of "phone charger" in a 90's vehicle? Why would you expect any cup holders in a 90s vehicle? Why do you state, that your specific vehicle's broken sun visors are the lc80 problem? BTW, rear a/c was there - for middle east markets, otherwise as an option

[@rustishackleford3354]

Hood and rear hatch struts don't work in cold weather. Same with windows.

[@LNDCRUZIN]

We can save those those for part 2 😜

[@Palkia8842]

I'm thinking of asking my grandpa to buy me a 91 Land Cruiser. Is it really a bad idea? The one I'm looking at only has 119,000 miles and has been well kept and has no mechanical issues.

[@raulgaleano4466]

“Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet ?”

[@xavierandradev]

No phone charger?! USB appeared in 1996, how do you expect Toyota to add a port to your car before it was even created?

[@Blammoification]

Hi. Please tell me about your bull bar. What's the make / model? thanx

[@KyleM_from_the_Ozarks]

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? I did mine last year & the OTRAMM video on it saved me. I sub’d & have been binge watching all your vids. They’ve reminded me of lots of little things I still need to do to my 92 that I’ve had for over 6 years as my daily driver. Keep pumping out the vids man!

[@bczobel]

if you're looking for videos maybe try and find videos on the 60 series I think the engine in your old Land cruiser is held over from the 60 model

[@Hammy1TV]

Lol, I put my water bottle in the square thing near the shifter on the drive home.

[@telegraph82]

Did you expect there to be phone chargers in a vehicle built in the early 90’s?

[@wilorganicfarm]

Have you rebuild your knokels yet?

[@baileytrestrail9858]

Bought my 80 series a year ago for 5,200 Aud previous owner has neglected it and now I have rebuilt the motor from ground up cost 10,500 for the build and now runs like brand new also spent about 10 plus on accessories and still has more to go such a big money car but wouldn't have it any other way

[@jeffevers7596]

Of course, it doesn’t have a phone charger. What year was the vehicle made come on man

[@SkitterComic]

HAVE YOU REBUILT YOUR KNUCKLES YET? (I know I'm too late, but maybe I can buy the cup holders from you). ..... I have a 91 Land Cruiser. I need to fix it up. I'm gonna be checking your videos out for sure. I have a question, tho: Some of the pieces I need to replace are plastic. Would it be possible to 3D print those? Like the plastic ring around the key ignition. And the plastic... runner... whatever it's called... that helps the middle glove compartment slide up and down. Also, the handle for the back door (the one that rotates clockwise). Could you 3D print those? If so, I'd pay you for it.

[@hikebikewalkrun133]

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? Mine's a '95. Replaced the rear hatch struts with OEM and I smiled for a week after I put it up half way and it raised itself up to fully open!

[@LNDCRUZIN]

Haha that was me with my front hood struts!

[@hikebikewalkrun133]

Did those too. Happy I no longer whack my head.

[@chadjones188]

I mount cup holders for a Tuffy console onto the back of my 80 series console.

[@kylemark4536]

I love my 💯 series much more than my 80

[@buccob]

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet? I actually though this was a common issue among fJ80 when I read the comments before watching your video! Lol... I just got one in my country (a 2002 model, they kept making it up until 2008) and I do need to do some maintenance for the knuckles so I got a bit scared.

[@theoxygen876]

thanks bro, I'm in the prosses of buying a 1997 Prado, and I think I'm going to need your help, is there a way to get InTouch with you directly?

[@dericklabuschagne9725]

I've seen a number of your videos... like them all, but.. when are you getting to really deep cleaning the Cruiser, both inside and out... think your car may be better than what it looks like and a major valet will also help to identify issues apart from soothing your soul

[@piche090391]

based on what you know now, what would be a good price to pay for a LC80 series? I'm on the market for one, but I'm just curious to hear what you have to say about that. Thanks.

[@tingvang198]

Do you live in the Central Valley? I’m in Fresno and have 92 Fj80. Thank you for all your helpful videos because I have all of those issues with mine.

[@LNDCRUZIN]

I north of Sacramento so we’re not too far away!

[@universalrebel503]

@Lndcruzin that switch that says rear heat on or off, vents cold air out the rear bottom of my center console towards rear passengers when I have the ac on, I just flick that switch on and it blows a decent amount of cold air up at them, don't know if it's supposed to do that or If something is broken but worth a try on your 80 series

[@universalrebel503]

I just double checked to be sure and yeah just click rear heat on high with the ac on full blast and it should vent cold air from the back of the center console you can put your hand on the vent behind and feel it coming up

[@joyridaz]

A tuffy console solved my addiction for hydration in my 60. I need to rebuild my knuckles also and have been putting it off so hoping you’ll motivate me by making it look easy! Ps same visor issue in my 1984 also… and no cup holders in 60series either

[@charlieramirez7819]

Have you rebuilt your knuckles yet??? Just about to purchase my 80 series soon! I can’t wait to start making it my own.

Good video and agreed on these and have gotten the cup holders off Etsy and there pretty good. Side note, no I have not rebuilt the knuckles and I installed a new radio with apple car play and added a rear view camera. Happy to connect and discuss if that’s something you want to do. I do have a few videos I’m hoping to post soon on that. Thank you
