Has anyone tried this brake controller on a FZJ80? Tekonsha 90250 Prodigy RF Electronic Brake Control Link

Thanks HDJdreams. Fit it did. barely, but it’s in there. I took measurements with the 275/70r16 G056 and I’ll take some later today with the KM3 in 255/85r16. Just in case someone is interested.

Thanks, I forgot to mention I have an 80, ‘97

Reviving this thread I started months ago, well ‘cause work got in the way. since my tires are balding, and I can’t seem to find the Toyo M-55 at an affordable price, I’ve decided to go ahead with the BFG KM3 in 255/85r16 and I’ll mount it to the OEM 8 inch alloys. Question: does anyone know if...

Lol. All you guys are awesome. Just when I think I have my mind made up, you throw something like this and it’s just really cool. So, quick search and I found a guy who gets those at about 60-75% thread remaining, about 1:30min away from me, in 9x16. The 8.25x16 seems like a great bolt-on size...

Hi there. Curious how you get along with the XZL and how much of a lift and/or other work you had to do to get it on there. Looks interesting.

Cool project!

Out of curiosity, I tried to find but can’t find it on their site. Let me know if you have a direct link. Seems the prices are pretty nuts and you better have an air seat. There is a 255/100 XZL. Maybe another lifetime, but that sounds like good fun.

Well I found my tire: Yokohama Geolandar MT G003, available in 255/85r16. Looks like the tire rides really well, tracks straight, affordable. I’m hoping to place an order next week. Let me know if anyone has them on an 80. Rode in a Taco equipped with this tire, I liked the ride a lot: very...

Been wondering about those myself, but $300 a doughnut. I’d hate to hate’em. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/fzj80-narrow-skinny-tires.1185454/ Stock looks low in 235, I think they might be discontinuing that line.

Just thinking out loud. Pirelli Scorpion Mud Load C, no sipes (I won’t see snow for a couple of years), not much info on it, but basically $600 mounted. Cheap experiment, I’m keeping my 16x7 OEM alloy wheels with highway tires mounted if it turns out to be a complete mistake. I just don’t feel...

Cool, appreciate the feedback. I briefly considered a 12v Cummins swap for my first cruiser when the Diesel Adapter kit was 5k. I had access to a true Cummins mechanic for pizza and beer (and some pocket change) so I could almost justify it, but the 1FZ never gave out. Never really pondered the...

love the build! Steering wheel is on the wrong side, so is that your HDJ? We have an importer in FL who gets about 2 or 3 a year, Japanese market. Is the HD-T that much more efficient than the 1FZ? Just curious, I love to drive diesels.
