Devils Paw 80

Yeah, dunno about Knik glacier. Mark Whatley in Wasilla told me I could do it in my stock LX. Check out videos of the route to get an idea if it's something of interest. I'm tempted. My recommendation from Palmer is to drive Hatcher Pass...

Here's an explanation in a post many years ago from a member no longer active: ".. That's a dampened vacuum source for the Fuel Pressure Regulator. IIRC on the double port 'gas filter' on the AFM trucks, it also feeds vacuum to the PAIR valve...

I think the reindeer are in Palmer, along the glenn highway. The ski resort town is Girdwood., fairly close to Whittier. Whittier was established during WWII as a military harbor. This coastal town is known for housing most of its residents in...

From another thread: " Running clearance is the distance between a level ground surface and the lowest point on the vehicle excluding ALL unsprung weight. IE this would exclude the wheels, brakes, hubs, axles, and most importantly the rear...

From the original factory sales brochure when I bought my 1993 back in 1992: Minimum Running Ground Clearance - 10.8 inches.

My wife is an attorney in Portland, she still dabbles in bankruptcy. I’m having her look into the details, she loves when her world crosses over to mine.

Your final destination is North Pole? It’s a small town near Fairbanks. The route is pretty much a cakewalk for any vehicle, just beware of the frost heaves in the Beaver Creek to Tok stretch. Also, the inevitable road construction along parts...

8.1 inches. FZJ80 (1993-1997) - https://www.tlc4x4.com/vehicles/fzj80/

Those rear shackles are recognizable to me because I used to run them on my FJ62 with stock springs. These are from Specter off road and went by the name of "extreme", although they were only advertised as providing 1 inch of lift. Specter no...

Building this one for my Parents who live on St. Augustine beach. You can drive on the beach there, and my parents keep getting stuck in their weak AWD Honda. I want to give then a fun 4x4 that works great and looks great with that top off...

I would go with the OEM like springs, maybe use longer shackles if they don't level things out, and not lift/change the front end. You're on a roll with the purchase of old Toyota iron!

The Oregon FJ55 license plate Cruiser is way nicer than the Nevada truck.

🤷‍♂️

Not really. Cloth seats would also provide the benefit of abandoning the crappy leather seats that are prone to rips and stripped power gears. I would have gone that way myself if any were available locally. The bad news for my location is...

If you can score some manual seats for cheap, go for it. Otherwise this is what many people, myself included, have done: 80 Series Electric Seat Bracket - https://landtankproducts.com/products/seat-bracket

A local salesman here in JNU, AK told me today that three 250 Land Cruisers are due in town fairly soon, within a month or so. Two first editions and one standard trim. I believe that one or both of the first editions are spoken for.

Hello, My name is JM, just wanted to introduce myself to the forum, just acquired this 1974 FJ55 from my brother (who had too many toys to take care of). I work and live out of Los Angeles, CA and have loved to tinker and work on cars all of my...

Stop calling it an FJ

What day is it? Past three days went like this. I think. 😂😂

Someone else posted that elsewhere a couple days ago. It seems that the thought gathering process is still in the works.

Here are some interior shots

got a 80 series box mocked up on the 71 holes drilled and sleeved. lines are there, waiting on u joints to finalize the shaft and then hook it all up and next time i have to do exhaust manifold gaskets i wont have to remove everything to get to...

I'm in Anchorage. We basically didn't have a summer last year. Very coastal - I can watch the Belugas out my office window some days. :) We are going to move south at the end of this summer for a lot of reasons that would probably warrant a...

Ok, as they say you’ve piqued my curiosity. Where you at? I’m thinking it’s got to be high, coastal AK or perhaps near Denali highway. (Or was Anchorage really that cold last summer).
