1983 FJ45. Factory PS. Factory Heat. Factory AC Patina truck so no paint over suprises. Very solid. Mid 30’s plus import

Used some cool Aptomo brackets and the 10 degree bezels to mount a set of S2 Pros (driving combo lens) for a sleek low profile ARB install https://aptomo.ca/products/rectangular-beacon-kit

traded in on a Raptor (gasp.....) in Wilmington, NC yesterday - she's a great rig and so far has been bulletproof.... If you are considering her, feel free to reach out... I can give you the fully background.... Liking the Raptor.... have new...

Spent some time tonight getting the headlights and Baja Designs auxiliary lights set up. The regular headlights are Holley Retro Brights and the Auxiliary lights are Baja Designs LP 6 Combos. For the regular lights, I have some marks on my garage...

tree fitty..... amazing rig, minus that RHD issue......

forgot to mention - it comes with a 5th unused SCS rim w/ new 37" mickey AT, and a batch of extra parts....

hmmmmm - my folks live in ME and I'm there every other month.......

I have no words....... My 23' Pro seems be strong as ever.... but I think they all are, right up until.......... After 18 Toyotas I won't buy another new one...and regret selling my last 80 .... time to chase a Clean 70 series.....

I sold our 80 18 months ago and found this CPO'ed truck in TX w/ 36k on it (CPO is transferrable) It's been bulletproof and covers ground amazingly well - which matched my use.... I use it for work travel and built it out to explore while doing...

Sounds like a plan - I'm back in town most of next week I think.

It's not too hard for basics - but if it's electrical or bodywork it can get $$$ fast when you need pro's.... having a Merc local Indy shop is a good backup - you've got Eurowise in Charlotte...not cheap, but they got my 4" suspension dialed and...

the solidity of the 500 would move it to the front of my list.... but with a G it's all about finding the right starting point... clean rust free with good service history and no delayed maint or other issues.... the later 70's are neat - it...

haha - I might like to meet up to check it out when I get back to Newport News next week -I'm there for work most of the time....

hmmmm ... putting one of those snail thingies on that motor would make this almost the perfect Expo rig for me.......and love the cloth...

Our G was a "rescue" - we found it with 90k in Dallas -super clean and no rust but it had not been serviced well..... it took a month of fully baselining the Motor, all new hoses, belts and almost all the accessories like alt, starter, brake...

and The Tundra is somewhat built on 37's, but will be getting traded in soon- not impressed with Toyota's position on us Hybrid Tundra owners and not supporting a recall for us... luckily I'm CPO'ed still but....

The G or 80 ? We still have the G..... it's on light duty in TX these days...... the 80 is in the hands of a gent bent on building it past where I even knew was possible..... turbo-kit, finetuning suspension and interior etc...

Next time you are out near Utah you’ll have to come drive her!

killing me..... but dang 2x the power ...... love to see her get massaged like this !

Something’s happening…
