Maintenance at 200k miles (1 Viewer)

[Calidevildoc]

Hi friends! I have a new to me fzj80 at 200k miles. It was well taken care of, but completely stock with no upgrades. What items (aside from pesky heater hose, replacing all fluids, brakes, oil/air filters) should I look into rebuilding/replacing/inspecting? The engine shows no leaks currently. Thanks!

here it is! 1995 with no e-lockers.

You probably need an LS swap by now that motor is probably pretty tired so just budget some more money for that

Any suggestions on where to get a front axle rebuild kit? The guide says to buy from cruiser dan, how do I go about that?

The vendors section has many choices Vendors

Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters (@cruiseroutfit) and Jason at Trail Tailor (@reevesci) have both helped me in the past, you can't go wrong with either. @cruiserdan is no longer in the parts biz. HTH
