Hey Guys,
I've owned my 80 for a couple of weeks now, so I think it's time to start a build thread. Here are the basics of what I started with. I consider it a mechanically solid truck that needs a little TLC in the aesthetics department.
'96 FZJ80 converted 1HD-T
Engine: 115,000 miles
Chassis: 160,000 miles
1HD-T conversion was completed by Torfab and was compression checked at 475 across all cylinders
Gturbo Grunter Turbo - 14psi (for now)
A442F from Wholesale Automatics (complete rebuilt unit, not just VB) with lockup in 3 and 4
Heavy Duty Torque Converter from Wholesale Automatics
Airdog II filter/separator
ARB front and rear lockers
Center Diff Lock
BEB's replaced by PO
Rebuilt injection pump and serviced injectors (DFIS PDX)
OME 2" (850/860 combo I believe...)
Dual batteries, Sears Diehard Advanced Gold AGM
IsoPro gauges for: Oil Pressure, EGT’s, Boost
Slee headlight wiring harness
Wilson switch wired up for glows.
That was the starting point.
My mods are:
Dawes Boost controller - 23 psi
Fuel Pump Boost Compensator tune
GY Duratrac 315s
Modified Trail Gear Sliders (to work with my skids)
Home built flat belly skids - 1/4" T6061
Costa Fabrications Front Bumper
Rigid Dually D2 lo/hi output lights
M8000
BH3D Cell Phone/CB holder
BH3D Dual Cup Holder
PDI Intercooler
GTurbo Grunter Extreme
PDI Highflow Intake/Airbox
Here's what the Cruiser looks like now:
