    Default 80 Series, BEST Expedition Rig....Period

    Hi there! Being fairly new to the forum, I thought I would post up a a description of my 1993 Land Cruiser and let the people here on the EP Forum see my cruiser and ask on questions they may have on the mighty 80 series. I decided to post my cruiser up here because I see the other car forums here having a lot more hits, especially the Landies . I challenge all 80 series cruiser owners to do the same. Let's show these panzy fancy landies what a true expedition rig really looks like. Scott Brady, you know it's all fun . So here is my ROTW from MUD, hope you guys enjoy!

    Hello to all fellow cruiserheads. I have pretty much finished for the most part what I wanted to accomplish 7 years ago when I started building my wife's daily driven mall cruiser, to my hands down, "most capable wheeler." 80 series rock, and that is all I have to say.
    Any questions, feel free to ask.
    Thanks to all, that support the cruiser scene, and especially MUD! My dad, which is the biggest cruiserhead I know, and my local buddies! Thanks for all the technical help, and all the countless hours wrenching! We have bitchin cruisers to prove it! ..
    Here is a list of all my current mods in the cruiser:

    Drivetrain (engine, lockers, gears, tranny, etc)

    Wowza. Looks very nice.
    This thread is about how snobby and elitist ExPo has become, not about EE's forum. Please stay on topic while bashing this forum on this forum.

    Love that 80 man!

    That is a fine example of an 80 series that is much much more than Blue Book value. Love that Hanna rear bumper. Too bad he does not have the time to make them anymore.

    Wow, are you serious! I thought he was still making them. I do rememeber that he was a full time firefighter. My bumper is 1 of the first of his original production. Thanks for the compliments guys. Any other 80 owners, post up pics..
