Hello, I am seeking a decent 1993 to 1997 FZJ80 I intend to use for a 70 series build. Here are the musts that I need if you have a vehicle that you want to sell your rig to me: Good domestic Title. Please dont contact me if you have a vehicle without a title. Clean very low near rust free...

@Onur, Very Excited! Finally going to be in the 70 series club! Epic build ahead. @cody, Thanks for this opportunity!

Watch it will magically relist in 45 days. I wonder what the current owner has in it sitting in his garage?

Catching up with you all on this. I was stoked when this popped up on my bat email that it was listed. If Bat is going to author-sugar coat these listings like this they will become extinct over it. If they want to sell and represent pedigree vehicles they should pre screen in person and look at...

You are welcome anytime Mike. hit me with a PM when you are in town.

Heck, I thought I posted pics of the paintjob. Here is one. the 80 spent most of the summer at the bodyshop getting a oem green repaint. It looks great. I have been reading up on the audio threads. I am looking to put a nice, but not the ultimate system in it. No video, small sub etc. I am...

The yokos are amazing. One finger at 70mph on the highway. I feel my ram assist steering is the secret. It will stop death wobble. Even my unbalanced biased swampers cruise great on the highway.

My V8 80 with 40x13.5x18 yokohoma geolandars and moto metal MO956 18 x 9 wheels.

On a sidenote I just purchased a set of "street" wheels and tires. The bias swampers are not good on the street and wear super quick. So I choose a 40 x 13.5 x 18 Yokohoma Geolandar MT with a Moto metal 18 x 9 wheel. The difference in drivability is night and day better. I can now cruise down...

Just fine. The axles can hold the power if the driver is responsible in delivering the proper amount of throttle to situations. Even with the 1fz axle breakage can occur. Consider floorboarding any rig with big tires "deadly force" only use when necessary! I love this setup thus far. It is...

I am surprised you texans had ignition and fuel issues. I must have gotten lucky on my used engine. That would be a cool swap.

Looks great! Keep it up you are getting closer to completion. Bet you are outta steam, I sure am!

6 inches of lift is the answer to that. I really think you guys have a few contraints that are going to be very challenging to develop a solution. My initial thought is the place you are going to be in trouble is the back passenger corner of the tranny pan and the passenger side of the engine...

Thanks I hear you. Its important to me that you all know that I am turning all the wrenches, doing the fab, wiring etc on my projects. Anyone can pay a good shop to do a swap. I enjoy the challenge of this work.
