As many of you know by now @forrest5000 reluctantly let one of his coveted TLCs go.... His 91 FJ80 Poverty Package (extras listed in my signature)....
Well, I have had the pleasure of driving the new addition to my TLC collection and couldn't be happier with the purchase. After about a...
Im sure that these words of wisdom stem from experience! Were these items all used on this truck? If not it would be interesting to know how these items have come in handy.
To be honest ... it was dumb luck!!!!
I caught a ride with Erymer in his 80 and I was hooked. After a good long frustrating effort hunting down a decent 80 to keep my 40 company I called Erymer and said i was done looking and will would be content with my 40. Erymer told me he knew of an 80...
no no ... if that was true i wouldn't be in the club... that is, if im not mistaken for a life time membership.... I think i paid $45 for the year... we have three groups one up in the Raleigh area, one here in the triad and one down in Charlotte.... we have some bleed over from one group to...
Thanks but the work and pics were a group effort.... even Stacy and Tori were wrenching on one of the axles!!!
Thanks again to everyone for your help! Love the truck !!!!
Eric, dont worry its not like you will never see her again!!! Only every event that we go to from here till the end of time!!! :doh:
All kidding aside... we will take good care of her and you will be able to check in on her as much as you like.
Thanks again for allowing me to take the joking...
Thanks, I would call that a major introduction to the 80 series world. Guess if someone can handle tearing the entire suspension off of a vechilce that they just purchased without mental damage is a true Cruiser Head right?
Hope to be on the trails soon!!!
Yeah, it was a great introduction to owning an 80. 10 minutes after saying "Yes" Ill take it we had it in Roxx's drive way and torn apart...
Don't normal people usually purchase a vehicle and drive home... use the vehicle a while and then plan out major surgery like an axle swap ??? (oh yeah...
Yes, but that's no matter now... Stacy & Eric have already provided me with a NEW name. As I am finding out that the majority rules here and I have a feeling that the new name will cling to me like that funky smell that came along with it. :confused: For what is worth it is getting better ...
Thanks again for letting us use your drive way and for lending us an occasional tidbit of guidance here and there....!!! I still can't believe how well it rides for being such a large vehicle. Starting to tackle a few odds and ends and getting ready to put a rack on top along with getting my...
Great looking rig. I have a 74 40 and just picked up a 91 80... ran across your rig and was wondering what type of roof rack your have ...
Thanks in advance for your reply!
Back on March 25th Eric Forrest was kind enough to part with one of his LC hoard. Eric & Stacy Rymer and I rode down to look over the 91 FJ80 in all of is Povery Packge glory. Loved what I saw and agreed to finalize the deal ... However there was some work that needed to be done...front axle...
Looks good... very nice find... I got my first 80 two weekends ago... White 1991 poverty package with some really nice extras. My first LC was my 74 FJ40
Have you found a club yet? If not you should take a look at Old North State Cruisers (no title) Nice group and we have a number of...
David, glad that we were of assistance and thank you for your generosity also. Being a new member to the clan its great to see such a wonderful group that is so willing to help each other out. Look forward to finishing up my 40 and getting out there to join in on the fun!
