WHATTTZZZUPPPP ...No postings here since 2008 ????? Something wrong here !!!!!
read properly it as started 2008
I posted yesterday
Thanks Gazza750 ...I don't understand why on PP. 1 I had posts from 2008. Missed something somewhere !
Well, here's something to keep it moving along:
1. 1990 HDJ81VX; 4.2L 1HD-T
2. Aaron
3. None yet
4. 111,080 miles; 178766 km
5. 2" lift, Panhard bars... more to come.
6. Get-away rig; we use it to get out of town on weekends and trip. Light/moderate offroad and exploration.
7. Photo: attached
We've had her for about 2 months now, and are driving out the kinks. I'll be posting some questions in the coming days as I try and nail down what she needs to keep her on the road for another 26 years.
Cheers,
Aaron

OK I get it ...this is one of the few posts in the forum that places the newest posts last. I was stuck in the newest posts 1st paradigm.
Hi,
New the forum. Just purchased a '95, non-locker, 160k, in original condition one owner. The PO kept the truck under cover most of its life. The body is great, the interior has a lot of wear, and the engine/mechanicals are in serious need a complete baselining.
In searching for this vehicle I spent a lot of time on the forum researching existing build threads. I am impressed with the time and effort that the membership has put into posting tips, techniques and methods. The only way that I can think to express my appreciation is to join as paying member (silver). Please accept my gratitude for the wealth of information that all of you have provided.
I live in central North Carolina. The Outer banks are four hours East and the Appalachian mountains are three hours west. My family enjoys both many times a year. My goal is to build a reliable family expedition vehicle that performs well in sand and on fire roads/mountain trails. No major mods planned just yet - I have a lot of work to do to get this rig back to solid operating condition.
Enclosed is a picture of the truck. The color is a metal flake green that looks almost black under some conditions. Can anyone tell me the paint code? I have some touch up paint to order.
Many thanks again. Now I will go back to reading previous threads. -Ted

99k? Holy hell!
Purchased a few years ago with 78K. One owner garaged rig that came out of Tenn. : )
I need to fix the antenna and the drivers side seat motor. Other than that, it is a very solid original rig.
And when it
I sure wish we could get those older, low mileage, vehicles here (and not pay new car prices.)
When it has about 300K miles on it ...and is a bit tired ...and needs $3K-$4K in repairs and upgrades ...someone will ship it to Costa Rica and charge $12K for it.

2. Racnstev. (Steve)
3. Jewel (Just got her, and she needs lotsa love and attention.)
4. 305,000
5. No mods yet. I just picked her up, she is done stock with factory lockers, a blank slate.
6. It will start as a daily driver to build my confidence in its reliability, then I will slowly turn her into an Overland rig.
7. Sorry, I have not taken any photos yet, but we all know what a stock 300,000 mile 80 looks like.
I don't have a huge budget to build it, in fact most of it will be used up in tires that she desperately needs, so I will be on the lookout for good used parts. She will be a slow build, but done 100% by me :0)

Hello all, just purchased LC a few months ago. 4th owner, PO was in over their head (I maybe Too!) Needs a ton of work and has been a work in progress. Hope to use as a getaway vehicle for family in the Eastern Carolina area. After years of maintianing wife's TJ wrangler felt it was time I was allowed a toy also.
