As I have been lurking here and reading all the threads about how to correctly build up an 80 I discovered that apparently I have done everything wrong
OMG.... I run OME heavies and have the ''stink bug'' look, the RWL on my BFGs are facing out and OH NOES I still wheel with running boards!:whoops:
I thought I should go ahead and proudly post my pics and specs so that others like me won't have to hang their heads in shame and can stand up and be counted
OK enough of my smarta$$ attitude (I almost forgot this is my first post ) .....on with the pics
Sadly I hard to part with my FJ-40 several years back but decided to purchase a 1994 FJZ80 last summer....so far: OME 2.5 Heavies, 285 BFG ATs, ARB w/12K Warn, Dual Batteries and all the ''normal'' mods (CDL/7-pin etc.). I have upgraded to a Pioneer stereo with an 8'' sub in the stock location with a 300 watt amp ( I will likely post separate pics and write-up of the install).
I am looking at rear bumper options right now and by summer's end will have ARB lockers front and rear w/4.88's (for the 35'' MTRs coming mid winter)
It is used for camping and moderate to hard wheeling and while I'm not much for rock crawling it has been through the rock garden on Spring Creek and did fine.
All kidding aside this place has been a great source of information and ideas. I do most of my own work and was a Toyota ASM for most of the 90's hopefully I can help out now and then with technical issues.
(ooops profile update with location) That is a Colorado ''Pioneer" plate
