Land Cruiser 80 Series Guide - What You NEED To Know Before Buying

Thinking about buying a Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series (J80)? This step-by-step buyer’s guide covers everything you need to know before handing over your money.

We start with a full walk-around of the body, pointing out common weak points and rust-prone areas you should always check. Then we dive under the hood to cover the engine — what noises and clicks to listen for, important service intervals, and signs of trouble you can’t afford to ignore.

Next, we take the Land Cruiser 80 out for a test drive and explain exactly what to look for when it comes to differential lockers, clutch feel, and overall drivability.

Finally, we put it on the lift to inspect the suspension, check for hidden rust, and go over important drivetrain components that often get overlooked.
Whether you’re hunting for a clean 80 Series or evaluating one that’s already caught your eye, this guide will help you spot potential problems before they become expensive mistakes.
