I have been lurking here for a good five months, and I think I'm ready for my intro...
I bought a 97 FZJ80 in August last year. I progressed from a 94 Toyota pickup, to a 90 4runner. The runner had about 250k so I was wanting to upgrade. I got permission from the wife to get a Landcruiser. Not knowing anything about the differences I wanted a FJ60. The bodystyle reminded me of my dad's old Wagoneer. I found my FZJ80 in the autotrader. I bought it with cloth interior, oem lockers, OME 2.5 lift, Kaymar tire carrier and an ARB non-winch. I had to sell my motorcycle to get it, but I don't regret it.
old pickup:
here is the bike I sold (05 Suzuki GSXR 600):
and my truck the day I bought it:
the PO included the fender flare and the seal. I got it painted for 40 bucks and it looks good now.
I bought 30mm coil spacers from Man-A-Fre to take of the stink bug look shown here:
Haven't really done much but maintainance. This truck is amazing, I purposely take the long way home from work because I love driving it.
here are some pics I know you love those
