    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    I did not. In hindsight I should have. But we only had a day to bang all this out and it just didn’t make it on the to do list.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Also big congrats to my dad on getting his 1979 FJ40 that he has owned since new back on the road after a 4 year engine rebuild. He had some health issues come up that slowed down the timeline, but he got it done. And man does it purr. His cruiser started it all for me.

    Converting a U.S. Spec 80 to Manual Transmission

    With my limited knowledge and lack of research, I was always a little unsure with the ECU swap neccasary for running the 5 speed how it would deal with a supercharger. After all it is a OBD1 ECU. Come to find out it does indeed work! For your viewing please here is a supercharged and manual...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    I did not. I knew I did not have the patience or time to rewrap my wheel. My 80 is my daily. I bought this one off Ebay. 20 min swap. But hey if you want a new (old) steering wheel to play around with you can have mine!

    Series 80 engine rebuild or swap options?

    Very true. I was very lucky, finding another 80 with a SC and donating it to my truck. It will be fun to see when LandTank gets his supercharger kit to market with a modern blower design.

    Series 80 engine rebuild or swap options?

    With over 300k miles on my 1FZ, I often contemplate the eventual need for a rebuild or perhaps considering a swap. I've been with my truck since it had 190k miles, and for the last 60k, I've enjoyed the added power of a supercharger. Living at 8,000 feet and regularly tackling the I70 from...

    Under 8 MPG

    How are your catalytic converters? There was a night and day difference on my supercharged cruiser after getting rid of my 250k originals.

    What fuel pump are you running?

    I did the same. If I remember correctly the plug from the old pump had to be swiched to the new pump. Other then that fit like OEM.

    HELP W/ HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT CHOICES, PLEASE!

    I have the depos you originally posted. Bought them off the same eBay page and all. They are GLASS. I truly am a big fan of them. Throw out a lot more light. When I put them on, I also installed some LED bulbs off Amazon in them, and let me tell you they are BRIGHT. As far as the corner...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Little late to post, we had our first real snow in Aspen a little over a week ago. Decided to drive up the back side of AJAX and see how much snow is at the top. It was absolutely beautiful and there was probably about a foot of snow at the top. Got to break out the winch and pull a tree out of...

    Maaco paint job

    Your truck looks great! I also will speak highly of MAACO, it is all about finding the right one though. I was bummed after going to the Colorado Springs MAACO, they seemed like I was bugging them even just walking around the truck with them. Then, I found two guys on the 60s forum who had good...
