5 FJ Wheels W/ 285/75r/16 BFG AT (So Cal) I am selling 5 FJ Wheels W/ 285/75r/16 BFG AT. Most of the tires are low on tread (25-30%) with the exception of the spare which is brand new. Wheels are in good shape with little or no curb rash. Please let me know if you have any questions. Tires...

A bump for a nice rig and a few questions: x2 on the CA smog inquiry. What is the gear ratio? stock? lockers? known issues? Thanks

Great pics! I make a few trips out there a year and need to check this trail out. I smashed up my driver side door last time I was out there. It is difficult to escape damage on some of the trails/notches with a larger vehicle. Thanks for posting pics.

The price is a bit high for a truck that is no longer CARB in compliant in CA. additionally no sleeper makes it unattractive to the RV crowd. Is the 8spd synchronized? That might help it move with the RV crowd out of state. try escapees.com

I found this 80 for sale on another forum and thought someone here might be interested. it does not appear to have the factory lockers but I could be wrong. Once again I have no affiliation. FS: 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser 4x4, Clean Title, No Accident, 102k miles, 1 Owner - E46Fanatics

your rig looks great on the 37s. Also the two rigs in the other shots look good too. It is nice to see them out on the trail. When I had mine up in Big Bear I never once saw another 80. Seeing two built like the ones posted would have made me think I was hallucinating.

Seems likea fair buy for wheel and tires. Good luck on the sale.

I will either be towing in a Dodge 2500 Crew cab 2WD or a 1975 Peterbilt COE long wheel base with a hauler bed. Neither are the best tow rigs for those conditions but not the worst either. I have managed to get most places with the dodge in recent years. Do you think either one of those...

I am not sure if this applies to anyone here but I tow my rig and the event organizer stated a tow rig will not make it to the base camp. I may have to get as close as possible and just commute to base camp.

Really nice write up Dave. Good info. I always wonder about the history of the lake when we go to Truckhaven and wake up to the vista of the bright blue lake in the background.

I am going to go ahead and jump in on the love fest. As I have been improving my mini truck in the last six months, both Eric and Jay have been immensely helpful in providing advice and completing work on my truck. They have helped me with everything from general tuning of the engine to...

On Wednesday I was at the Sire bar in Riverside and spotted a white 80 with a mild lift, prob 2.5", ARB front bumper and a snorkel. I think it might have a two tone scheme with white and gold. Is this anyone in this forum? I also consistently see an all white 80 in the Orangecrest area...

Do you live in the Orangecrest area of Riverside? That street looks familiar. If so I only live about 2 miles from you. Your rig also looks familiar but I am seeing more and more 80s in my area now so maybe I have it confused.

Definitely - to duplicate this build now would cost more in parts and labor than I paid for the truck. That was part of the way I justified the purchase to myself.:D There is a ton of crap on CL. Lots of mini trucks with 4 different tires, 5" of body lift, no front DS, 4 different color...
