A quick intro

[Rkroelin]

Hey guys, just thought I would introduce myself.

Most people call me Ryan and currently I am a finishing up a Math degree at ASU.

As for the car, I just picked up a '97 FJ80 last weekend. I had been looking casually looking for the right one when I stumbled across it. It is a one owner AZ vehicle with Toyota red still in the radiator. No lockers, but the price was very right so I jumped on it.

It is a very clean save for a couple of issues, which brings me to the second reason for this post. It needs tires and the front bumper is a bit bent. The passenger side of the bumper is tucked back a bit. The body is fine save for a small dent that should not be visible once I replace the bumper. The tires are worn and provide a good excuse for a set of dirt worthy treads.

So - if anyone has an OEM front bumper sitting around the garage I would happy to exchange it for some green. As for tires I'm looking for a set of AT's to tide me over for a bit until the semester ends and real paychecks ensue for the summer.

Sorry for the long first post.

Ryan

Yea Rayn,

Thanks for Joining the forum. I'm working on my lift right now but the next step will be a ARB front bumper so I will have a OEM bumper from my 94 and also a brush guard. I would be happy to let you have both for free but it might be 6 months before I get the ARB so if you can wait?

Do a search for Damage multiplier before you decide to install the brush guard though.

The bumper is in great shape but is in need of a paint job. It has a lot of chips from road rocks in it.not a bit of rust though.

Hey Evan

Thanks for the reply. I wouldn't want the brush guard for reasons implied in your post. If I haven't replaced the bumper by then I will definitely take you up on your offer for the bumper!

One of the first cruisers I looked at had a particularly poor damage multiplier - you had to pull it out of the way to open or close the hood.

At some point I may build myself a bumper, but that is down the road a ways.

Do you still want to sell those tires Phil? I haven't heard back and see you deleted your post.

Ryan,

Cograts and welcome! I work not too far from ASU and eat lunch in that area often. Shoot me a PM and we could hook up for a lunchtime BS session sometime.

Hey, that sounds like a plan.

In the middle of finals now, but once summer starts I'll be working full time in that area and we can figure something out.
