iron pigg (yea i know, but that's what the lady at work has been calling it before i told her that was the name of 55s and the name of a fab shop....what can you do)

1995 FZJ80

Mods: extended diff breathers, dynamat, Great Cover front seat covers, OME medium lift w/ 1inch Mr. Gasket spacers up front, extended SS brake lines, front sway-bar drop blocks, DC front drive shaft, IPOR skid plate, custom george designed sliders, durabak fenders, ARB bull bar, ARB roof rack, custom dents and new upgraded slee sticker.

What i want: 35 or 37 inch tires, 4.88 gears and Air lockers front and rear, 8274 winch with synthetic rope, rear bumper with tire carrier, HG replacement and a turbo. That should pretty much do it....oh, and a snorkel.

I'll give a quick introduction of my newly acquired 55.

1976 FJ55
~172k miles
2F
Low SOA, sliders, front and rear bumpers by Lance Williams
Anti-wrap bar
Minitruck power steering (very strong)
RS9000 shocks
Rear Powertrax No Slip automatic locker
35x12.5x15 MTRs
Warn 8275-50
No emissions
Also FJ60 birfs and knuckles, 4Runner brake calipers and Marlin Hi Steer w/ FJ80 TRE's and custom drag link and tie rod

The body does have a fair amount of rust. In the near future I am thinking about pulling the body to replace rusted metal w/ some fabbed parts.

She runs very strong. I picked her up from Yooper and drove her 1,100 miles home from MI to SC. She did great.

Thanks

I look forward to many new experiences off-road with such a fine crowd. (Whew, enough of that!)

Any way, no damage to the lone 60-series this last week-end, but we did cheat a couple of obsticles. Need to get those 33's and lockers.
