    Builds My first FZJ80

    Dropped her off this afternoon after a quite eventful day. Had to rent another truck after mine broke a wheel bearing. Higgy's was an awesome place...felt like a kid in a candy store...so many nice rigs there.

    Well, it's time to get her fixed and back on the trails. I am going to have @Cruiserhiggs in Phoenix do the work on her. Just gotta get her up there!

    Yep, things have worked out great this time around! Sometimes it takes a few tries to make it work. And thank you, its turning out just how i wanted it. The biggest setback was finishing the drivetrain swap, and finding out the motor and trans weren't good. But it'll be better than before once...

    The passenger rear door had been stuck closed for awhile now, i just never had the drive to mess with it. I tried everything to get it open, and in the end, had to sacrifice the door panel to get to the guts. For some reason the child lock had become engaged, and wouldn't open from the outside...

    Arrived Friday afternoon. Safe and sound in the garage now. Thank You! It came out better than expected.

    Once she's all fixed up, absolutely. There are some trails i'd like to do that I haven't in this rig. When I got it, i did half of Elvis (box canyon area), and Payette Draw just before the last obstacle. And a few trails around Tucson minus the gap.

    She's loaded up and will be here Thursday! I was scammed initially from a broker, that's a story for when i have some time to write it out!

    Gonna be at home for awhile until I save up some extra cash. Sadly, adulting comes first 🤣

    Well, i'm back in Tucson for good. Been here about 2 and a half weeks or so. I have my Duramax out here so far. The 80 should be picked up hopefully tomorrow, and will be on it's way! A good number of MUD members in Arizona, so I shouldn't have a problem getting the headgasket and transmission...

    No tests due to current financial situation. I explained to him what I had done to the motor since putting it in, and the overheating symptoms I was experiencing. Next I showed him a video i took this morning of a consistant cloud of Exhaust pouring out of the tailpipe, that did not go away once...

    With everything under the hood good to go, i was still confused as to why i was overheating. I talked to my mechanic and we determined it to be the head gasket. I don't have the money to spend on that repair, so I am going to go with the blue devil sealer. The person who i brought the motor from...

    I got the rear bumper and sliders on. Changed the winch to synthetic rope. She's pretty much done, except for the fact that i broke my fan shroud installing it. I ordered a new one, along with OEM thermostat and radiator cap.

    It is Sepia brown. Absolutely love how it turned out.

    I had the mechanic shop fix a few things, and got her towed back home, as i still need to have a transmission shop diagnose and fix it. In the meantime, i got the raptor liner on. The color is sepia brown. All the body work is complete, and there are no more rot holes. I must say ive never seen...

    Transmission Problems

    I don't have the time or patience to dig into it further, so I am taking it to my mechanic. It needed work in other areas as well, so they'll look into the transmission along with fixing some other things I need done. Thanks for providing your help though, I appreciate it!

    Transmission Problems

    Yes, in low on the gear selector (not transfer case), i was able to get it rolling with much less effort (noted RPM seemed normal). I couldn't drive far to see if it would shift, as she's uninsured and not registered at the moment, so i stuck with a few short ups and downs in front of the house...

    Transmission Problems

    The original motor developed a knock at over 300k so i sold it for parts, along with the transmission which would slip pretty bad in reverse. And I have not. I can try that later however.

    Transmission Problems

    So did more diagnosis just now. Got it up on the street in front of the house. I figured being on my driveway which is a hill won't be good to get a good test. Backed out and put into drive. All the way down the street, 1500.2k constant rpms (not as high as previously stated) did not shift...
