Nice job. I am probably overthinking this, but is there any advice I should know when clipping the new trim pieces back into the slots or is it pretty straightforward?

The color match is by no means perfect, but it’s better than before. I've included a pic of the old trim with aside-by-side of the original trim color on the right and the new slightly darker coat of beige on the left, again it's not exact but as others have already commented, it's kind of up...

I would make myself available for sure. Look forward for any and all updates.

I just realised this thread is a year and a half old giving me the unique opportunity to see how things turned out for you when you repainted your rig, overall were you happy with the results? I’m just now getting to the point where I have to decide between just doing a rattle-can touch up or as...

You just beat me to it, I was about to post the Hagerty article "2021 Bull Market List: 10 collectible cars...". when I saw yours. It was pretty cool to see the FZJ80 included in such a eclectic group of 10. I think my favorite quote from the article was, "The FZJ80 is the Porsche 993 of the...

Box Rocket, the scoop and side intakes look awesome! Did you add them simply for cooling, or are they part of some other performance function like a supercharger?

MDarius, I think you made the right call with the ‘92, removing the flares and adding the Yeti is brilliant! Well done. I think your ‘97 on the other hand would be a great candid, when the time comes, for a quality rattle can resto. For about 200 bucks for paint, masking materials, sandpaper and...

I realise this is a three-year-old thread, but wanted to say thanks to MDarius and Box Rocket for sharing their rattle/can fix for peeling clear coat, a problem that seems to plague many of our 80s, including my ‘97. My situation was almost exactly the same as theirs, peeling clear coat on the...

Hey Adam, Johnny here. Yesterday morning I was running some errands when I caught sight of you guys in the parking lot, it was pretty late and you guys were just wrapping things up. Anyway, let me know the next time you meet and I’ll be there.

Thanks guys for the prompt and synced feedback. That said, I am but a new pup in the Land Cruiser mud, as I was lucky enough to score a 1997 FZJ 80 with 150,00 miles, the interior is spotless and the body, aside from needing a little wheel well repainting is perfect. I’m thinking about taking...

I'm installing a new Sony XAV-AX100 AV receiver that comes with a 4 x 55W power plant, my question is should bypass the FZJ80 OME audio amplifier or do you think it's worth keeping?
