I'm interested in this vehicle. Do you have any idea what shipping would be from CO to AL from there? I will price it if not but was just curious if you had any idea
It’s an FZJ. I could only upload 1 picture when I made the thread from my phone. Shoot me a message with your number, and I’ll send you all the pictures. I have 22 of the inside/out/under carriage/etc.
1993 JDM (right side drive) 80 series. I picked this up from the owner who imported it. I also have the paperwork from where it was exported from Japan. I have over $10,000 in receipts from the original owner and myself from where items were upgraded and brought current when it was imported...
I’m digging seeing you update this thread again. I found it really informative. I’ve been a lurker here for a while admiring other builds and finally got my 80, a 93 JDM with roughly low miles. Roughly 80,000 miles when you do the conversion math.
What’s your IG? I’d love to follow along there...
I have a buddy who's a guru with his research looking into getting my the EWD for a Japanese model since it is imported. I'm going to start studying it as soon as he gets it. It's certainly intriguing that I could have that as a back up and move away from the VAF issues if it will truly work.
I'd be curious as well on why he couldn't fix it. I just mailed mine to Greg at BavRest yesterday. Hopefully, he can get it going for me but we'll see. My buddy accidentally pulled the wiring out while trying to help me work on my 93. I'm probably going to get another VAF from a part out so that...
I did look at Haltech which would be a nice upgrade down the road to avoid using a VAF at all. However, it looks like they only make it for the 95-97 LC's according to their site. I'll just have to call and see what they say if I decide to cross that bridge
