CAD Files or Drawings for 80-Series??

[Ryno7970]

Any chance a fellow 80-series owner has (accurate!) CAD or even 3D drawings for an 80-series? Looking in particular for frame/suspension drawings, as well as any exterior drawings with true dimensions (height, width, length). I'm looking to draw something up to get going on my '93, and (ok- I'll spill it) I'm an architect and I just think better when I can draw it out in CAD! I want to get pretty technical with my suspension design, and I'm just chomping at the bit to design my own RTT...! Will gladly share designs in exchange for base mode info!

Anything anyone has would help- many thanks in advance!

there's dimensioned chassis diagrams from the FSM floating around on mud, not sure where, and not in CAD i guess.

You can see the FJ40

Me and some buddies 3D scanned my 80 when it was stock, it's a solid works file.... it is very detailed. And when I mean detailed I can zoom in on stripping lugs and body scratches and they're depth

Do you still have that Solidworks file? I have been looking for a 3D model of an 80 so that I can play around with front/rear bumper designs.

That would be awesome! Can you share the file with me??

the turbo squid one is not awesome, i tried it but could not get it into solidworks
I would be keen on a SW file also..

That's a start- thanks!
If I can't track down a CAD file for this, I'll draw it up and share.

Glad I didn't waste my time on that one then- thanks for the intel!

Did anyone ever find a 3D CAD file of the 80 series? There is a few online but they are not free. Some are crazy expensive. I'm working on some exterior stuff and would love a pre made CAD file of the 80 series. I could probably make one but don't have the time.

The file that @saltycoconuts has would be awesome. Trying to get the right body lines by modeling it would be very difficult and time consuming (I'm a CATIA designer working with lofted surfaces for the last 10 years and I'd have a tough time replicating it).

Whatever the Turbo squid one is, I can try converting it to a different format (Solid Works, if that's what you guys use). Regardless it will be probably dumb surface elements, which would be probably good enough.

I’ve moved on from 80 series to 70 series

I’ll have to talk to my friend to see how we can make it public. Technically since he used UCSD’s equipment it’s theirs. I’ve moved on from 80 series to 70 series but I know how useful these files could be for many of you.

At least in my application it would be going from one school to another. I'm a mechanical engineering teacher for a PLTW program and we are in the middle of a metal fabrication unit. I have done this unit 3 years in a row with great success. I teach them about metal work and bumper design. My tube bender and welders get brought in from my shop and used in the classroom. We have used the 100 series CAD file the last couple years which worked great since I had an actual 100 we used for mock up. My 100 is gone and I'm back in an 80. I plan to park it outside my classroom for students to create mock ups from. Having an accurate 3D CAD file of the 80 would be a huge help when going from the rough design process to the CAD design process. Ideally an 80 with the factory front and rear bumpers removed would be awesome. When I get back to my classroom tomorrow I will post of pic of the CAD 100 with the bumper removed for a visual reference.

Here's a snapshot of the 3D CAD file I used with my students of the 100. As you can see the front bumper has been removed in the file.

Here is a sample bumper I designed in class with the kids. It was primarily inspired by the Dissent Off-road bumper. I liked the lines of that one.

Here's a couple more pics a little better rendered.

I’m just starting a little bumper project of my own. Just need to finish my first online lesson: Fusion360 for absolute beginners. (Hey, we all need to start somewhere...)

Are you planning on 3d printing those too?
