For sluggish windows, if possible, change the stock wires with heavier gauge wires. You can check by applying power directly to the motor and if the speed improves, then change the wires. I did the same to my 15 yr old Lancer and it worked like new. This should work for any car.

way back in 2006 landcruiser became availble here in the philipiines.i and my 2 brothers bought it. we never took it in any dirt road. it was only used for regular roads and hi-ways.then one day my nephew was maneuvering his dad's landcruiser to make a u turn the rocker shaft(part of steering box where the pit man arm is attach) broke. when our mechanic went to a nearby toyota dealer the part was readily available. you do not have to wait for the dealer to order it.then the 3 of us decided to sell all our landcruisers.the only good thing was after using it for more than 3 years we were able to sell it at the same price as we bought it

Antenna not going down all the way. Both front seats stopped working. I have owned two. Both 97's one 40th Anniversary and one Collector. the 40th had front and rear diff locks. Worked great. I lived in the snow belt. The second I used for eight years in Baja California. After eight years, the rust started around the windshield and roof rack etc. I loved the car, but I live in an upscale condo and it no longer looked good without a paint job. I sold it 2 month's ago Eleven years of total ownership and no regrets.

I restore 80s for a living and could add more. Heater hoses leaking; drive shaft vibration passenger rear lock actuator doesn’t work. Dif lock actuators inoperative, diverter valve for the washer fluid sticks spraying front and rear at the same time. Seat gears, rear main seal. Passenger floor gets hot from cats. Egr codes. Steering box has a lot of slop in it. Power steering fluid leaking everywhere. Block cracks at freeze plugs. Steering wheel play up and down from stripped threads. Clock spring squeals when turning, power antenna inoperative. Cross contamination of grease into the front dif. Frame cracking at front panhard mount. Fusable link blows. So much more but this is revised. Great trucks but there service trucks. You preform services so you don’t have to replace parts as often

That's a great comparison and I'd love to make a video comparing the two, as I considered both. 3rd gen 4runner = better mpg, somewhat cheaper to maintain. 80 = built like a tank, larger w/ 3rd row. For a daily driver, the 4runner makes sense, especially for a decent/long commute. The 80 is bigger and overbuilt in every way, but VERY thirsty. I love my 80, but it costs me $15 to $20 an hr just in gas to drive it, depending on if gas is $3 or $4/gal. Once the knuckles are rebuilt, hoses, fluids & brakes replaced, it's not too expensive to maintain an 80, until the headgasket issue happens. The first 8 months of owning my 80 were expensive because the previous owners neglected maintenance for a while: kzitem.info/news/bejne/lphvvKCdknhqaYI
