We bought this 40 a few weeks ago. I am familiar with old Warn 8074 and 8274 and old Ramsey winches but all of the stickers are washed out and no identifying marks that I can find.
The green circles in the pics are a free spool T-handle and the blue circle pushes and pulls to make it a 2...
If it gets back to DFW area, I can take it east to Louisiana or north to Oklahoma, or south toward southeast Texas. My brother @cruiserbarn is in Texarkana so could go to Arkansas. He has several 40 series he just don’t get on Mud much.
Somebody ring my bell if I am needed. Loved doing this...
I am following this build closely. Please keep posting details. I have a 1992 that I had setup exactly like I wanted for my daily work truck. 3FE was way underpowered but I still loved the truck. My 3FE finally has a knock in it, so I have a 1993 1HD-T on its way from England and just bought an...
So the original owner didn’t get the frame sprayed in 2007? Then he traded it in to a Toyota dealership in 2010 and that dealership is where you bought the truck in 2010?
Why didn’t the dealership handle the service bulletin issue in 2010 before they resold the vehicle? And if they say the...
I made quick work of removing the house carpet. Pretty clean underneath after vacuuming it out.
Have been installing an ACC vinyl floor and will get pics up shortly...
Introducing my new to me 85 4Runner. Found her about 5 miles from my house. Pretty decent shape. Not a lot of rust and rot but the undercarriage has more surface rust/scale than any of my other Toyota’s. It is kind of strange to me. This is the day I bought it...
These aren’t LC steelies. They are the original steelies for this 85 4Runner. I just bought this truck about 2 months ago and haven’t even done an intro thread here yet. Couldn’t pass up the chance to post in this thread....
Loved the look of the steel wheels on your truck but I also understand the weight compromise as a fellow 1992 FJ80 owner. Are you running spacers with these wheels? Seems like I remember you changing rear axle for full float and disc brakes so it probably is not apples to apples comparison since...
Alex I decided to post this here.
My brother bought this FJ60 that @OyajiJon built and @GreyGooseFJ owned. The truck is still running strong and my brother has had it about a year. I figured I would post a current picture of the rig as it sits today. It is a great truck!
Wow.....just wow! Love these reports and photos. Really appreciate the fact that you are keeping that beast in running condition AND actually using the 80 for what it was built for.
My daughter is 26 and my son 22. A wise man told me when they were young to “hunt with them now, or hunt for...
