Any interesting history/story about vehicle? I bought the Landcruiser completely standard, since then i have stripped it down to a bare shell, resprayed it MG Xpower grey, and carried out the above modifications to a high standard, the truck is in daily use and i cover 3-400 miles a week in it, in my 3 years of ownership it has never let me down, and this includes a trip to the south of France in the heat of summer, mileage is nearing 185,000 miles.

If only my Landcruiser 70 series 3.0 Litre had these specs I would be a happy camper.
Well done on a job well done.
Would love to know how easy or hard the 80 series axles were to transplant.
I am in the Scottish Borders, wished the show was nearer to get to see it for real.
