Haha for sure. The 40 wouldn’t work for them. No power steering, very sloppy steering box, super slow, manual transmission, no airbags or anti lock brakes and currently pulling farm duty here so I don’t want the top and doors on it right now.
This pic from ~2010 sitting four wide in the back of my old fj62 seems to capture everyone’s personality. I later added a third row so everyone could be bucked up individually.
Glad to hear the endorsement. I was able to get all four installed with an oil change at $1,415 out the door. That’s a good bit cheaper than the bfgoodwrench ATs I was looking at.
The PO put a pretty good system in the truck with a sub in the back. I was able to properly introduce the beastie boys to the girls lol. They drove it to school the last couple days with no issue. Much better visibility on the road vs the mini cooper. Not perfect but they seem to be making out...
All things being equal I might agree. I was able to horse trade for a lifted 83 60 about 8 years ago when my older son turned 16. They survived and made some good memories. Based on the latest car accident, I was afraid to choose anything without airbags and abs.
Made a few quick and dirty patch plates for the holes in the rear floor. Just sheet metal, tap screws, and caulk. I’m hoping to get some carpet over them once the tire is out of the back. Should keep the exhaust out for now.
Next issue, my older daughter is too short to reach the pedals. And I’m too tall to comfortably drive with the seat in its current position. At the advice of the PO I ordered the seat gears from gamiviti.
I did not raise the seat to maximum height before pulling it. I ended up having to carry...
My wife and i took the truck on a short shakedown ride. From Maryland to Vermont to ski. We got about two hours from home and blew a passenger rear tire at about 70 mph on the Jersey turnpike. We were able to get safely to the side of the road, but our ski plans were in jeopardy for sure.
We...
I should back up that my daughters had an unfortunate accident with their daily driver that left us in a bind to find something quick. Everyone was ok, but very scary! They had worked the last two summers on the family farm to buy their first car(with some help from dad).
Since we live “in the...

Hi everyone,
I recently picked up a ‘95 FZJ80 that has been owned by a couple long time ‘mud members. I was looking for something for my teen daughters to drive. Mostly to work and school.
The truck has a few quirks for sure. But I am hoping we can make this work!
