Can't add much to the above other than I bought an 80 (a 1997 Lexus LX450) last summer. Awesome vehicle. Built like a tank. I looked long and hard to find one with reasonable miles that had a nice interior. I found one with 140k miles and like new inside. Those are getting rare. Finding one with the factory lockers is even harder.

I've since installed a lift kit and some 33" tires. The 4.5 liter FZJ engine has a lot of torque but is relatively gutless by 2013 standards. I get about 14-15 mpg no matter what. That pretty good by 80 standards. I would suggest driving an 80 and a 100 and see what you think.

IH8MUD is the forum for sure.
