1994 FZJ80 customization, before and after. Part 1 (1 Viewer)

[Bellzarr]

Been looking for a FZJ80 for awhile. I came across this 1 owner with 172000 miles.

Had the lockers but needed some love. scoped it for 4500 beans and drove her home.

first order was to replace the back hatch. picked up a green 97 hatch with out glass from the junkyard for $100.
then called Slee off road and got me a 2.5 OME lift and a center diff switch.
see part 2 for the lift before i got new rubber on the stock rims

Funny when i was looking at it to buy I said something to the FO and he said that the dealer gave him another one because it was loose. it was in the glove box and he never put it on. maybe it was a dealer upgrade? either way I removed it.

Well I guess it's technically OEM, but for JDM cruisers... Not north American versions.

I see them all the time in China and Nepal.
