My everyday driver is a 1997 FZJ80. This 25 year old SUV is truly one of the best long range off road vehicles ever made. Very simple routine maintenance is really all that is required to keep these running strong.<br><br>Biggest mistake people new to the 80 series make is they don’t do a baseline maintenance/repairs when they buy one. These are 25-30 year old trucks. Things wear out no matter who makes them. Most of these have 200,000-300,000 miles on them. They will need a bottom end engine rebuild soon so you had better have a plan for that if you are going to own one.

A 1997 should have had an A343F paired with the 1FZFE (still a sufficiently beefy transmission, but not as beastly as the A442F found in earlier FZJ80's). The example you're presenting is a little rough but well within the realm of being worth saving. I love my 1997 LX450. This is going to be a fun project for you guys.

The diff locks often engage when a wheel slips a little.

the head unit isn't stock, that's just a crappy aftermarket touch screen.
