60 vs 80

[stinkyfj60]

, but I can spend manmore hours behind the wheel with less fatigue behind the wheel of the 80. It sound like you are baiting people Stinky?

Not baiting people, just my opinion. My mom bought an 1994 FZJ80 after I had my 60. I have driven hers long distance for various reasons and found I hate the interior. All the cars I have owned have had wide open, simple interiors and thats what I prefer. I even like my wifes Range Rover Classic over long distances more then the 80. I am always attracted to 80s I see, but I jump in and I am like "ugh".

Offroad? Yeah, the 80 is more capable stock to stock. But not enough to make me give up what I like in the 60 (simple to work on, manual tranny in the US, interior, no body moldings for me to remove) for an 80.

Sometimes owning a truck isnt about specs on paper, its about what YOU want to drive.

I think it depends on how big your nuts are. They both have there pros and cons...

80s have...coils,EFI,lockers,less rust, which is a great improvment over the 60s

but the 80s also have more things to go wrong, autos thats if ya like stick, lacking in the looks department,heavier, about the same on gas, full time 4wd,etc etc...

If I had the money and time, I would have diesel's 80s motor,tranny,frame, axles sitting under a 60's body...


To me, the 60s just have a better feel...

I own both and both are awesome for there own reasons...

LOL you MUST be baiting people

I actually sold a FJ55 to keep the FJ60. But my Pig was a '71. If it was a '76 or later I would have ruled in favor of the Pig. Cause NOTHING is as bad ass as a built five five

My 60 is bad ass!
But my 80 with a 4inch lift and 35's is easy to drive in and out of parking spaces.
