I’ve transplanted the drivetrain from a wrecked white‘96 JT3HJ85J8T0138569 into my green’96 J3J85J60147190, and I’ve moved the instrument cluster over too. Thought I’d record that here to avoid any perception of shenanigans.

 

[blobmaster]

should probably move it back, carafe would 100% show it as odometer fraud. the mileage follows the chassis not the motor insurance wise too

First foray in to the 80 section.

We just added our first 80 to our list of projects. My wife has wanted one for a while, and I found a good beater to fix up (it will be her weekend/trail rig and St. Bernard hauler...). Mechanically, it's in very good condition. Runs, drives, shifts as it should. Cosmetically, she's a 2/10.

1994 FZJ80 Factory Triple Locked
186k miles on the odo
Owner's name: my bride
Rig's name: “Kitty”…
No modifications yet. But a carpet kit from DNP is on order, as are Corbeau manual front seats.

I've stripped most of the interior (rear seats are in ok condition and salvageable; fronts are garbage).

This truck was used as a farm truck and thrashed by the ppo (wood hauling, hunting, dogs, etc. The carpet was fawking nass-T). Undercarriage is rusty, but everything works (typical for out neck of the woods). Body has dents and rusted our rear quarters (under the mud-flaps).

Didn't pay much for it. Couple of grand.

As for plans...

1) re-do the interior completely. Including new door cards that I'll make at home.
2) cut out rust on quarter panels. Weld in new steel. Cut out rust in the rear floor - typical jack location rust. Weld in new steel.
3) pull dents
4) pull the glass for new rubber all 'round.
5) Monstaline in a close to factory green.

Have my bride drive it a while and decide what she really wants the truck to do. I'm predicting larger tires and a mild lift (2-3").

The dude who I bought it from bought it 6 months ago. He had plans for it, but got too busy (his other rig is a 97 40th anniversary edition), and let it sit. He owns an excellent shop and put roughly $2k in parts and labor in to it. In other words, he's my bud and he base-lined it in advance of purchase.

Edit: here are a few pics:

In the process of de-plastic-ing the rig (fender flares already spoken for).

Spent time crawling around under her. Not bad. But, new rear lower shock mounts are in order.

7. Photo. again...small to save space, these two for the shippers … spare tire put in the back.

These are the pics for the shipper … I didn’t take pics of the inside … I was amazed how clean it was when I flew in to see it.

I don’t know how to post so I’m hoping someone informs me of that but while I’m here I’ll ask my question I have both a 1995 and a 93 1fz and need to swap the engines, wiring is fried in the 95 so was thinking of putting my ecu and engine wiring loom of the 93 into the 95… is this possible?

[Heckraiser]

In the US, 93-94 1fz wiring and ECU are significantly different from 95-97. I don't know if that's the case in Australia
