Thanks for the warm welcomes. Never fails, mud and cruiser groups are always great people. Probably part of the reason I keep buying cruisers.

This is my fifth (technically I'll claim fourth). I am the guy in Raleigh that owned a 1997 LX for about a week before someone hit it, and totaled it. A few ONS guys counseled me to keep the truck, but that was not in the cards. I have owned 2 FJ40's, 1 FJ60, and 2 FZJ80's. My first 40 is by far my favorite.

I have done nothing beyond drive her home, and start on the rust. George took very good care of the truck. Oil changed recently, front axles repacked in the last 20k miles, timing chain done at 180,000, new brakes to name some stuff he did. I have noticed some spots in the garage from rear oil pan, or rear seal. Have not crawled under the truck, yet.

If anyone is working on their 80, I will lend a hand. It has to be good exposure and experience for working on mine.
