A 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser that is still earning its keep is rarely still original, and that is the practical problem with servicing one: four decades of substitutions mean the part in front of you is not always the part the job assumes. This service and repair manual is tied to the 1980 Land Cruiser specifically, so the values you work to are the ones Toyota set for that model year rather than a neighboring year's.
Trims
- Base
Known issues on the 1980 Land Cruiser. One recall stands on the federal record for this model year, campaign 91V110000, covering the gasoline fuel system at the storage tank assembly: fuel leakage can lead to fire when near an ignition source. Owners have filed 1 complaint against the 1980 Land Cruiser, and 7 technical service bulletins have been issued for it.
That fuel tank recall is the first thing to verify on any 1980 example being put back into service, and the seven bulletins are worth reading against the symptom in front of you before parts start coming off the truck.
