For Sale 93 FZJ80 Rebuilt 1FZ-FE Orion 4:1 / 6-spd manual Tacoma RA60 Transmission / Locked axles - Boston (1 Viewer)

Location

United States

Selling because I currently have bigger fish to fry, motivated. Tons of pics in the build thread links below. It doesn't come with the 37s pictured, it has some 15" Tacoma rims with snow tires on it currently. No winch but has the mounting plate on the frame already. It was a CT vehicle originally and has very little surface rust, if any. I can take pics of specific areas. $old. Boston. PM for contact/info.

As far as the work it needs,
-the passenger window is not on its track and it needs to be put back on.
-needs new TPS, typical acceleration hesitation sometimes.
-some of the interior panels are not installed
-headlights dont want to come on, the relay is brand new, it's getting power and can be bypassed to ensure the lights work, the issue is somewhere between the switch and the relay, I haven't checked the relay by the footwell.
-needs new front rotors, has a slight warpage, can feel it during braking.

That's a really cool truck.

So this thing runs and drives?

 

[BulletHead]

Yes, I've been driving it around town for a year now, 1FZ with a manual is a lot of fun. I suppose I could make a video of it running and driving, will try to make a short video this weekend.

@aMiR904 - is that price delivered to bourbon country?
what does the interior look like man - thanks

 

[BulletHead]

I'll take some pics and make a video this weekend, should be nice and crazy warm. Interior panels for the front door and rear cargo area were removed by PO, haven't put them back on yet.

This has peeked my interest as it did years ago when I saw it on MUD. Could you send me a picture or two of how the shifter and Orion TC sticks fit in the center console as well as the cross member and exhaust config. I may consider using the drive train and/or adding my components (interior) to this if the interior works. I have a 96 with 255K running great but prefer a standard for DD. Do the 4:88 have the factor e-lockers not some other locker? Does the new transfer case run the full time 4x4 still or is it only part time. How straight is the body? I'm in CT so transportation could work. Would like to consider options. Send PM.

 

[BulletHead]

I'll take pics this weekend and post. Most of the interior is there, just the pass side door panel is off and cargo panels are off, but they are sitting in the back.

Factory, Toyota, OEM, electric lockers, Front and Rear, working as they should.

Part time 4wd with manual hubs.

Thanks, I read the posts from the built. Do you know if the 96 80 series OBDII computer would just hook up to this engine/trans if it were dropped in? I have a great overland platform now but was looking for 4.88's at some time and a 6spd would be just sweet if it all works without to many compromises. Does the new engine build/6spd provide any mpg gains or mostly power/drivability and fun.

 

[BulletHead]

I believe its a OBD1 compliant harness, so OBDII wouldn't work, maybe someone else knows better. I never measured the mpg gains/losses.

sold, going to a good home where it will be used as intended.

 

[Eric Hohlfelder]

Fantastic...Did it stay in NE?
