Hello all. Just joined up and looking to purchase my first Yota. Long time Jeep fan/offroader (please be nice..). I would just like your opinion before purchasing this truck.

It is a 1992 FJ80. 105k original owner. Bone stock. Super clean, no rust, almost mint. 8pass, Locking xfer case, cloth interior. $4000 bucks.

Is this a good year for the Cruiser? What should I look for? Common problems? Looking to use this truck as my daily driver. Maybe install a small OME lift, put some 31's on it, nothing crazy. Let me know your opinions. Thanks.

 

Welcome to YT.

dude that sounds awesome, put some pictures up if you can and maybe we could give you a better synopses

 

Starting in 1993, the landcruiser went to the updated inline 6 engine. It has more horsepower and torque. I believe the transmission changed to as well as the interior.

Do check out ih8mud.com, they have a sticky on FJ80's and things to look for before buying one.

Great trucks though...

 

Love that body style .. Im Looking into a 1993-1994 fzj80. Better more powerful engine. From what I've read the 93-94 has the bulletproof "bus" transmission.

 

Sounds like a pretty good deal for a Cruiser. Up here you can spend up to ~18,000 CAN to get a 4.2 Diesel FJ80 from Japan but they're usually low mileage (~60,000 miles!) and minty. Awesome all around vehicles but for that price I could get a Duramax for towing and then get a semi built 4R for trail...

 

Did you mean locking axels?
If so, that is sweet.
selectable lockers are the only way to go....
