Traded my Pig for a 93 FZJ80 today!!!
Why? See here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/240905-so-impressed-fzj80.html
The truck has high miles (246k) but has been well taken care of, dealer serviced until about 30k ago. It's really dirty and needs a bunch of little updates and adjustments but it runs great, already is lifted and on 35's, has big bumpers, and the all important lockers (though I need to get those working)
It's tight and rattle free, everything seems to work, it looks great, and it's the tallest truck I've ever owned. Leather, stereo, AC, Elockers, giant sunroof, it's just loaded.
To Do's:
1. Clean Clean Clean
2. Baseline Fluids and Tuneup
3. Register & Inspected
4. Rebuild front axle seals and repack birfs (the Driver's front is slinging grease)
5. Get that Check Engine and ABS light fixed and clear
6. Replace the driver's seat belt, it's pretty chewed up and not long enough for me anyway.
7. Start saving for Sliders + TrXus MT's.
I am REALLY happy with it, it drove GREAT on the way home (3 hrs). I loved the Pig in my driveway but it was a bear to drive and I just didn't trust it for long trips. The 80 will be a much more useful truck for me and it will do all the wheeling I personally want to do. My wife and son Love it as well.
Did I mention it's humongous and won't fit in my garage?
