Woooody, could you point me to these 17 inch beadlocks that you speak of?

The trade went through. The 80 is no longer for sale/trade.

They're Wet Okole's. Expensive, but nice (link above).

trade deal in process--Dec 29th

where's it located? Any pictures?

FYI, the Cruiser is now for sale (I've changed the first post). Its going to be easier for me to find a FJ40 if I sell the 80, rather than try to find someone that wants to trade.

Location? Area code suggests Fresno, CA

I went to a creek bed at lunch and took some pics today. I've posted them here: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2956724 I had to get it a little dirty to get there... and yes, the spare doesn't have much tread on it..

very true..

I think its just the engineering spirit more than how far you can get down the trail. I get it. I've been wanting to attempt something like this, but can't get over the safety factor of the only thing keeping this front end under me at 80 mph in a 6000 lb high cg vehicle is my welds. I'd...

I borrowed a camera, but it's dark now. Here's some pictures that I just took. You can email me or send pictures of what you have to david_a_waters@yahoo.com Thanks for the private messages. I'm going through them now.

Hello, I'm now selling my '93 FZJ80, since a possible trade deal fell through and I haven't gotten a great response on trading. The reason for selling is that this was once our only 4 door vehicle, but recently, my wife bought a Madza CX-7, and I would rather have a less practical, more trail...

I'd definitely go 4.8/5.3/6.0 iron truck motor and I've got a 4.6 mod motor in my Mustang. 5.3 would probably be better since they're so much cheaper than the 6.0. I've seen a complete one pulled from a running wreck for $500 with intake and accessories. Probably not a typical price, though...

Everything I've ever seen and heard about forced induction has suggested that you should be at 11-12:1 for wide open throttle. Any leaner and you're risking detonation and running hot. 13:1 is for NA, WOT. 14.7:1 is stoich and good for closed loop, part throttle, and gas mileage, but way too...

Yeah, that makes sense. I haven't seen any 3 links with rubber bushings on one end, either.
