So a few years ago I did a 1hdt swap in my 80 and the 5 speed at the same time. It has part time 4wd from the factory fyi. When driving in 2H or 4H it is fine, no banging sound at all. In 4L when going uphill the trans has notable movement. This is the sound of the shifter levers hitting...

This weekend was the first school supply distribution trip for our 4x4 club. 3 Runners, a High Roof 60 series, my 80 and a Suzuki Jimny. 6 communities, 475 kids.

Hey Fellas Been working on a simple drawer/ sleep platform setup for the 80. Nothing fancy, trying to keep it light until I switch out rear springs for heavies. If you saw my previous post maybe 2 weeks ago I run a 4x4 club here in Honduras that uses off-roading to support kids that in many...

Nice! Near Northside Park?

Small world. Although I live in Honduras I’m from Baltimore. We also have a place at OC. 133st. Assateague is fun for a weekend, you just have to pretend your fishing. Although last time while “pretending” to fish we brought in a 9 ft tiger shark 😅

They are OEM. That I couldn’t tell you because mine came stick with a rear tire carrier, where the us model spare goes mine has an oem aux fuel tank.

This weekend I did tires. New Falken M/Ts, 285/75/16. The old ones were the same tires, but the tread was getting quite low and no more traction in the clay we have here. On the same trip I filled up the 80 with 4,000 spiral notebooks. I have a 4x4 club here in Honduras, we use OffRoad trips...

1. 1996 FZJ 80, jdm 2. 2003 1HD-T out of a rolled 100 Series, H151 Tranny 3. What went really well with the swap? Engine was in great shape, only did BOB as a precaution, belts, hoses and filters. 4. What was unexpectedly difficult with the swap? Transmission, made the boneheaded mistake of...

I wish, long gone. Looking for what someone took can get you killed here.

Beautiful 80. Looks a lot like mine when I got it. I’m in Honduras so we’re almost neighbors. Factory winch? Mine had one until a not so trustworthy shop decided to halp me improve my fuel mileage.😅

Pm me brother, I can hook you up☕️

A few more.

It is, Honduras has a million problems but great off-roading isn’t one of them. Most of those places are within about 10 minutes of my house. There’s a ton of small paths that trucks can sort of make it through if you know what your doing and take some trail building gear with you. We opened up...

Here are some photos from a most recent trip I led with the LC Club. 13 cars on day one, 7 on day 2. This is in the mountains where I live. Between 6,000-8,000 ft elevation.

Yea there’s quite a few of those “bridges”. The collapse, then are rebuilt, last a few years and the circle continues. Honduras is quite corrupt so the money for infrastructure never gets to where it should. It does however make for some great off-roading though!
