The rear bumper is comprised of 5x2x3/16 wall structural tube with gusseted 10 gauge wings and 3/4'' thick recovery points penetrating both walls of the tubing. A very strong...

Not sure if this is the section for this but thought I would share.
I made this a last year and has been working great since. I won't go into a ton of details but you'll get the idea and if you need more info feel free to ask. I made this oven for under 100 bucks. I got the metal cabinet out...
This is currently in the 80 section. But maybe I should have put it here based on the direction of the build.
Here's the link to the 80 section https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/a-fabricators-80-build-starting-with-the-front-bumper.856499/
And here's a pic of the bumper I just built for it...
Hello all. New to this section but not mud. I also own Ingrid a sweet 60 series with only 135k miles that was owned by a few great members on this site. Anyhow I've acquired a 95 80 series that I traded a motorcycle for. The truck was from Arizona. I got it with the lift in it. It's OME and sits...
Tried searching to no avail. I need the tranny line sections that are at the tranny. Can't find anywhere and the dealer wants crazy money. On the pass side the line going into the tranny closest to the bell housing is rusted through at the bend before the fitting. That union also has an...
It's a 1990 fj62 with 120k miles. I took all the weather stripping and the rear quarters for for the only rust area on Ingrid that needs replacing.i got lucky on theses panels there near perfect. I only need the arches but took the whole thing. The rest of the body is not that great (rust and...
I have a near rust free ( only surface rust on welds) 1998 4runner rolling chassis with a perfect running drivetrain for sale. It has an old man emu lift with 285 75 r16 truxus tires on stock rims. The tires are at 30% tread. The motor/tranny have 137k miles. I was the second owner and got it...
Hey guys I have a 4.10 third member with factory e-locker complete with harness and studs from a 2003 Tacoma. It's in excellent condition. I was wondering what these are going for these days or if I should just hold onto it. I also have an ARB locked third in 4.10 as well. Both from v6's Both...

This may help or save someone some money. If your back side windows leak really make sure they are mounted and sealed properly to the body before you just buy new track seals. I mean you have to take them out to check well kinda.... Point is I bought new factory seals which was pricey. Only one...
These things are contagious! Just picked this 80 up today for a good friend of mine. He's been wanting to get back into wheeling and camping, and after seeing Ingrid he was hooked. He was a jeep guy which I told him "Japanese Engineering Eventually Prevails" and now it has. It will be at my...
Maybe I'm just bitter because I got two bad pumps in a row! First one,no idea what was wrong the second had an extra o-ring over the bypass hole. The second worked for one drive around the block and s*** the bed after that o-ring blew apart. The third works but steering is WEAK on flat ground...
Hey all, I need a driver side Aussie style rear sliding window seal. I just got a brand new pass. Side and need the drivers. If you have one or know the where abouts of one, any info is greatly appreciated. I'd really prefer factory to match the one I just got.
Thanks for your time...
Haven't been able to do much after having shoulder surgery. But finally feeling a little better and got some work done on the under body. My plan is to clean and paint the frame inside and out and axles. for that ive chosen to use Sem rust shield and eastwoods internal frame coat. Strip and Redo...
Someone on here should buy this. I wish I could just to put away for a back up.

Just picked up an awesome 60 off a great guy in Connecticut . Upon doing some research I found my way here. Looks like it was trapper50cal's old truck aka Ingrid. What a well built rig. It will be a great starting point.
A little about myself. Ive always been a Toyota guy but this is my...
