80's newb checking in

[goschbrandon]

Hi all- I'm new to the 80 series (had a 73 fj40 in high school). Currently driving a 4runner but it just isn't the same, so now i've got a nice shiny FZJ80 sitting at home in Colorado ready for me to pick it up come winter break- pic included!

cheers,

brandon

I'm guessing that's a shadow on the hood and not some jacked up paint?

True enough...I'll just say that the Navy and Arizona State are making it worth my while to get a degree. I still eat like a starving student most of the time though...

On a tangent- should the running boards stay or go? Sliders are planned down the road, but does it make any sense to use the running boards as a sacrificial "early warning system" in the meantime?

Dump 'em. They'll do nothing for you, except maybe tear up more stuff.

When the running boards tell you a rock is near then they are pretzels. No warning.... bent.
