Hi everyone!
I figure this rig could use a baselining thread. I'll have lots of questions along the way and maybe this will help document some of the vehicle's service. Appreciate any insight and suggestions you can offer.
It's a '93 FZJ80 that's 3x locked. Our first 80 series. My Toyota history includes a FJ60, pickups (2x 2WD, 1x 4WD, all 3 were 5 speed 22REs), a Tacoma, 4Runners (a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen), and a Sequoia.
This is a very stock rig that may stay stock, for the most part. It seems like it was barely ever offroad, but was also neglected for a very long time on a lot of basic maintenance.
Needs:

Needs:
TiresPHH(Previous owner did this)- Idle Speed Control Valve / IAC repair: In progress
- Basic tuneup: Spark plugs, oil change, air filter, etc
Spark plugs- Spark plug wires (on the originals!) (Ordered)
Air filterFirst oil change.
- Fix valve cover leak (#3 sparkplug seal as well)
Brakes:New CalipersNew padsBled- Bleed is not perfect, but functions. Would be good to bed pads in properly.
- Debated removing ABS and have block off pieces, but will probably keep it for now.
- Rear axle job:
Get the lockers working reliability.They now seem to engage all of the time, but it can take a little bit before they turn on. This is just from activating them multiple times. Probably good to go for now.
CDL switch.- Pin 7 mod.
- Low range switch on the transfer case is intermitent, but not really an issue with the CDL switch.
- Can be hard/impossible to get into low range when it's cold out.
- Possible desmog.
- Knuckle job.
- Lots of items to add to this thread!
