We bought a 91 FJ80. We've named her Barbara. Original plan was just tires, armor and lift kind of building a moderate wheeling rig to bomb around the Rockies. After wheeling it a bit I'm leaning towards a little more hardcore, but still Street able.
I'm cheap so most of this is DIY fabrication.
So far the changes are armor, gear storage, tires, rear auto locker, 2uz swap, "beefcake" real lower control arms since I use them as rock ramps.
Stuff I want to do:
Bigger tires, front locker, 3 link or something for more front flex, thinking part time 2wd for the ability to drive out on busted front drivetrain and less front drivetrain wear. Also it's allow me to run a cheaper auto locker . Also I'd like to rear to 5.29 or 4.88
Links to navigate thread:
Dobinsons 3" +100kg Install
Sway bar mounts, drag link and Rear bumper v1
Front Bumper build v1
Rust and dent repair
Start of 2UZ swap
Rear Lower Control Arm Upgrade
This is how it started. Lots of cleaning.
Here is where we are at currently.
I'll keep updating this first post so people can keep tabs w/o scrolling through everything.
