Getting a late start on this build, hopefully I have enough pics to manage.
Succubus80 1995 FZJ80 Factory Locked, no roofrack or rear wind deflector. 191,000 miles when I purchased her from my neighbor. He had it for a school semester before I bought it from him.

1st upgrades. Metaltech4x4 Stinger bumper and sliders. BFG ATs 285x75rx16 and Pontiac GTP hood louvers.

Hood is Vented

Finished venting my hood, wanted to get this done before Surf N Turf but decided to wait. Sorry for the quality these are taken with my cell phone.

Scored this truck vault security drawer system from a thrift store for $19.95

My Storage Drawer Build

So I scored a Truck Vault storage drawer system from a thrift store a couple of years ago. Had to do some mods to make it fit right and it was great having it. After a year of wheeling with it and not having the room that I used to have for taking the kids to the Drive-In and less room for...

Eventually I got my 4x4labs rear bumper and a snorkel. Also went with Cruising Off Road bellypan skid plate for the transfer case.

Cruisin Off Road Transfer Case Skid Plate

I just got my transfer case skid plate from Jason of Cruisin Off Road! Install took less than 10 minutes and it looks great.... This is one more piece of protection that checked off my need list!

So after running Succubus80 with Factory shocks and 1inch Man-a-Fre spacers it was time for an upgrade. OME heavies and Fox 2.0 IPF shocks. I also upgraded to Toyo Open Country Mts 315s

 

[mazder]

Found out my 4x4labs jerry can rack wasn't up to the task so I had to beef it up.

 

[mazder]

After a few outings I finally was over the fender flares it was time to make this girl skinny! Might as well get her re-geared with Nitro Gear 5.29s and plan ahead for the future, and some monstaliner. Also around this time I installed the Land Tank Caster plates.

Land Tank Caster correction plates for 2.5 inch lift.

Finally got my Land Tank Caster Plates installed. Pretty easy job, just a little notching involved and a couple of welds and your done! Oh and paint.

Had to drop the transfer case to replace the front extension housing seal. Shoulda installed the reduction gears at the same time but I guess I'm a glutton for punishment .

The end result of my deflare and Monstaliner job

After all this it was time to get a roof rack and a RTT. Bowfin Cruisers was the choice for me!

 

[mazder]

For the RTT it was an easy choice, Hitents Rincon Expedition! Hitents is local to us and the owner is part of our Central Coast Landcruiser club.

 

[mazder]

Got bored of fitting in and looking like every other white Landcruiser so time to shake it up again. Kryptek Nomad rattle can style. Did this right before the 2018 Rubithon event. That trip almost ended sideways but luckily it was just a little tipsy.

After a few had hits and having to adjust my steering wheel I felt it was time to upgrade the box and pump. Got a new rebuilt box with the 105 sector shaft from cruiseryard.com and the new pump and hoses from Joey (Witsend) Replace my front main seal and oil pump gasket as well as cleaned out the reservoir.

 

[mazder]

Cleaned out the filter.

 

[mazder]

With all these steering upgrades i think you know where this is going. Time to find some bigger tires!

 

[mazder]

I came across these Falken Wildpeak Mt's 38x13.5017 stickies here locally. All 5 for $1,150. Was easy to install but I knew it was going to take some work to get them to clear with the 3 inch lift.

 

[mazder]

1st cuts are always the hardest.

 

[mazder]

I also had to trim down my Metaltech4x4 sliders and re-drill and re-sleeve the arm for my jerry can rack. I also had to extend the mount for the spare to work with the Sequoia wheels.

 

[mazder]

The fruits of my labor. With some trimming and bumpstop extensions they fit.
