I just bought a new to me '92 FJ80. I pick it up tomorrow. I've been looking for the right truck for a while now and just yesterday I told my wife I decided to put off any purchases for now due to $$. Then last night I find this truck on Ebay for $1,800 and I couldn't pass it up!
Here's the tech part.
It has some dings and dents and may need a new drivers side fender. I might just try to pound it out. Are the fenders on an FJ80 compatible with those on an FZJ80? Anyone have a white DS fender & or flare that you need to get rid of? I will also need a new front bumper if I can get one cheap, otherwise I'll just tell the wife I need the ARB!
Also, the seller stated that it probably needs new shocks in the rear. Is this a commonly replaced part at a certain mileage or do most folks just go with new springs?
I can't wait to get my new truck, 7 hours drive each way and I will have her home tomorrow night.
Thanks,
Ron
P.S. As thanks to Woody and everyone here I ponied up for my silver star today! Thanks to all.
