Build 1997 FZJ80 to HDJ80 1HD-FTE + H152F

[SNLC]

Got the doors on and some firewall stuff.

Main tank installed.

The Cruiser is getting a LRA subtank, however we are not a fan of their double tank filler neck. The OEM is much better but you can only still get the main parts, ie the actual filler neck. The levers and rest of the parts are NLA. So we improvised and made the parts we can’t get in order to make it work just like OEM.

The paint job came out amazing. You might have talked about this earlier and I didn't see it but why didn't you paint the wheel wells and under body black?

I am sure you know, Toyota didn’t do them that way. Some people like a black underbody and some don’t. I like it the way we did it on this one. Personal preference thing I would say.

Beauty. Stuff we all dream of doing.

Doors off, Fenders on.
Is that because Mr T did it that way or...?

I replaced my cracked tank with an OEM tank with all new parts this week. Looks like yours went in easier when it’s clean, on a lift, and not surrounded by the rest of the truck! Nice job!

We pressure tested this one before installing. Being a diesel now it shouldn’t ever crack from expansion.

I suppose we should do an update here.

Unichip map control switch for the FTE.

3-5” lift Kings installed all around.

Various engine bay items easily installed now.

Wiring!

Cheers

 

[SNLC]

Whiteline front & rear sway bars, JmacX 3” lift radius arms, Dobinsons URCA & RLCA, Dobinsons panhard, SLEE tie rod & drag link.

Door handles with fresh locks

Sadly, this was the last 80-series lock & key set still available. It went NLA this last September.

Cheers

All the cool $tuff$

Lots of wiring going on lately, getting through most of it now though.

Sneak peek at wheels, tire changing as well.

Nothing scares me more than what's in this picture. I've been following this build for a while now, I love the quality of the work even if I can't afford it LOL

Extremely nice.
Isn't funny Mr T didn't paint or zinc plate the dash bar.

 

[tmxmotorsports]

I know it's a grounding point but dang

Getting farther along with engine bay.

Hood, flares, hatch and cowl top all ready to be installed.

Cheers
