Reinforcing the idea that I have automotive ADHD, I’m going to sell my 91 FJ80 and move on to something else. I know it’s a bit of a cliché, but this really was a ‘no expense spared’ build and I have zero expectations of getting all my money out.
I bought it in the spring of 2022 with 161k...
I have an 5.3 LS swapped (Proffitts) 1991 80 with 160k miles on it. It’s absolutely beautiful and everything is dialed in. Rebuild transfer case, full float axles and Eaton lockers build by @orangefj45. Really too much to list from the sound deadening, stereo, rack, bumpers, disc brakes...
Bought it, drove it, loved it, and then I put it in storage. I purchased it b/c I thought it was a solid value based on my last experience of building out a 1970 FJ40. Sooooo, it was a bit of an impulse buy, as I tend to do.
I'll leave it up for sale until the snow comes - maybe 2 weeks? If...
I have a Jan 1973 FJ40 that has some aftermarket bucket seats. I would like to revert back to stock. Not concerned with the quality of the coverings (cushions, fabric, etc), just want some clean front buckets.
Thanks all!

FWIW, if you are interested in how the colors look against a gray/blue interior of an early 80 series, here is their gray (#65), blue (#42) and navy (#44)
Gray is pretty spot on but I’m going with blue
Pulled off a 3fe fj80 with around 169k miles. I don’t have the air injection rail, but I have the pump - I think some people have a need for it? Maybe some of the other parts?
You cover shipping and I will box it up
Well, never expected this. Wife lost her job and car #4 has to go. I haven't even driven it 200 miles.
July 1969 build date. I bought it back in November off the boards here. Great seller who kept this at his cabin on the western side of the Sierra's (dry!). He had it for 21 or 22 years...
I did a search but wasn’t sure what keywords. As you can see, my taller tire bumps into the release latch
Do I just move that whole mount up? Extend it outward somehow? Thanks guys
Looking for some advice because I must be missing something obvious? Installing Dobinson IMS on a 69 fj40 and in the rear I can’t get the axle to settle down onto the spring (alignment pin?)
The longer part of the spring is toward the rear. I’ve propped up the driveshaft so it’s not...
Front and back of the driver seat frame and the metal back plate. I have replacement foam and fabric, but need the frame to build around. 1969 FJ40
Thanks guys
New to 40s and I did a search, although I often wonder if I’m using the right terms 🤔. Contemplating some cosmetic changes to a 69 fj40 and suspension came to mind. Plan to run 16” steelies with 255/85 Yokohamas. More for looks, this will be a weekend rust bucket (over exaggeration) with the...
I found a spacer on ebay that seems to work. Here's a link to it.
The dust cap needs to be pounded down just a bit. The screws it comes with are the same threads as the rims, so I cut them down about 3/4" and painted them black:
Clean up the threads:
Bingo! Its' about 95% correct in...
I want to buy MT Mans Diesel 80 he has for sale, so this needs to go. If it doesn't sell here in 10 days, I'll take it out to Yellowstone for a week, then it will go on Cars and Bids and sell to the highest bidder.
Selling for what I have into it $26k - all receipts and paperwork will be...
What a fckn deadbeat.
Bought the desmog kit.
Waited weeks and weeks
Tried to cancel the order, no response
Disputed it on Paypal
I have BOTH texts and Paypal correspondence that he would refund the money
He started the refund but then it was cancelled because it didn't clear. What a scumbag...
@NLXTACY has a great site with a lot of products to choose from. Good stuff for the 80 community, but I am guessing he's wicked busy
I have some questions about an order I placed on 4/9. (4 items that I want to cancel what is on back order.) I've called, sent emails and DM's here, but no...
I am assuming its acceptable to just cap this line? I am pinched for time and rather than remove that air rail completely, I shortcutted it and just capped the end.
Good enough for now?
Thanks for the advice!
First time posting something like this, so lmk if I am missing the mark. I don't usually "name" my cars but with 3 girls (9, 7, 5) they wanted to name it, so here she is, snowball the mostly stock, 3FE FJ80 with 161k miles
I bought this truck from @JML403 in late March and it is as...
1995 3x locked with 7 pin mod and 113k miles.
I’ve been chasing an issue with my Center Diff lock not staying locked. When stationary the light would come on and the ABS light would come on. As soon as I drive, the lights flicker then turn off. I could hear some noises, but it just wouldn’t...
