The 80-Series Land Cruiser is legendary and remains a popular choice within our community with recent examples including this 1993 VX Limited, 1994 FZJ80, and 1995 with a Campteq conversion. The 80 carried forward the bulletproof reliability and capability of its predecessor but introduced welcomed refinement that transformed the Land Cruiser from an agricultural workhorse into a comfortable long-distance tourer. It’s for these reasons and more that automotive industry expert Matt Scott composed an article on Why the Land Cruiser 80 Series is the Next Classic 4WD. He states: “The 80 Series is the first Land Cruiser to be coil sprung on all four corners, and it’s downright plush in comparison to older models. This coil-sprung suspension is also fantastic off-road. So despite the 80 Series being more luxury-orientated, it’s the most capable Land Cruiser out of the box.” Unsurprisingly, it’s a popular choice for serious overlanders as demonstrated by the international adventures of Destined for Wild and The Lallys Long Way Home. Cue today’s 1992 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ80, which showcases a plethora of top-tier components and a mechanical overhaul. Seller Nick Jaynes has sold a number of no-expense-spared builds on Expedition Portal, and today’s Land Cruiser is no exception.
From the Seller:
“This rig had been neglected by a few owners before me and required tens of thousands of dollars in maintenance to get it back to tip-top condition. If you happen to walk into a Firestone Complete Auto Care, you might see a poster of this truck on the wall; it has some fun provenance. Everything works, nothing leaks.This truck needs nothing, zero.”
