New to the 80 series world.

I have been on the site for a while when I had my very rusted out 70 series.
I thought I would post up and say hi. My name is Jason I'm from Saskatoon SK Canada. Member of Toontoys
Here is my FZJ80.

I'm not new to building 4x4s. I'm so pumped to build this FZJ80.
Pictures of my past builds. I really miss the 4Runner.

First plans are getting some issues fixed to pass inspection.
Than its on to keeping a low center of gravity and increase suspension travel. Not sure how to do it yet but I'm getting new ideas as I spend more time working on it.
