Looking for some help here: I have a potential offer to swap my 80 series for a FJ62 with a L83 v8. I have always wanted one of these. I want to know what I am getting into. The L83 for the swap was not brand new when put in. The engine rebuilt/resealed L83, w/ a Texas Speed AFM/DOD delete kit...

would like to sell

Look what arrived today, let the fun begin.

These 285/75/16?
