Heading down to Valdez Saturday to pick up another Toyota. This one will be mine, and it runs and drives. What this means is.. I will make the clean up run.

1996 FZJ80
Engine is a fresh Lexus LX450 engine
ARB Front bumper with 12k Warn winch
-2each IPA Spot Lights
-2each IPA Driving Lights
6 Inch Slee Off Road lift with 4 inch springs
4x4 Labs rear bumper with dual swing outs. Tire Carrier and Jerry Cans and receiver hitch
4x4 Labs sliders
Right now it is sitting on 36x13.50 IROKs (about 40%)

well did you get it?

Picked up a FZJ80 yesterday..drove 14 hours round trip to get it. I was looking for a nice daily driver that I can take out and wheel while I still build my FJ40. Factory lockers front and rear work just fine. It has seen a little bit of saltwater but I will get that cleaned off and repaint those areas. I will be getting back to the FJ40 soon.


The good, well its a Toyota.
Slee Off Road 6 inch lift with 4inch springs
4x4 Labs sliders
4x4 Labs Rear bumper with dual swing outs
36x13.50x16 Iroks
LX450 short block with less than 9k on it.


It came with a ton of extra stuff including a FSM and Electrical manual.


The bad, not much to gripe about
Tach does not register until after 2500 rpms..otherwise sits on 0
Brakes are soft on first push and then right before the pedal bottoms out it gives for a milisecond and then the vehicle stops.
Only other stuff is small cosmetic things which I am not concerned about.


I do want to start looking for a new drivers door panel to replace the damaged on from the door stop.

I like it.
