Took it on the trail over the holiday weekend. Found a little oil seeping from the front diff, so I resealed with diff gasket maker and topped off with fresh 80W90.

Swapped the roof rack. Found the OEM gutter mount one on Cruiserparts.net. Took some slight modifying to get it on.
no rack.... gotta love it:
new rack... gotta love it even more:

Hey!
I would like to do the same, was it easy to adopt the headlights for left hand driving? I thought they only came on RHD australian 80s.
Thanks

I welded up some brackets to hold an axe and shovel on the roof rack. The downside of this OEM rack is lack of attachment points... everything can be either strapped on, or I gotta make a custom bracket.

Yes, they are amazing. And inexpensive. One thing I did was replace the 3 bolt flange coming out of the turbo output with a V band. It is much easier to open if need to. Next step is an intercooler.

PPD. They are made in Australia. After shipping it was still cheaper than any comparable system in the states... especially for a bolt on system with a center mounted high flow muffler.

Haha sounds like I gotta come take your rig for a spinYou never know how good chocolate is, until you taste it the first time....
does that exhaust go over the frame? Wonder if it would fit up (closely) to a USDM 80 series. Mind sharing shipping cost? Maybe some additional wider angle pics showing overall routing? At $629 plus shipping that’s not a bad price. It says 304 SS.
Always welcome. Come by from hot sunny southern CA to the Bay Area! Contact me directly also via IG.
The key is not also performance, but stress on the engine. It will last longer. The reason the exhaust manifold cracked is because heated engine. With the intercooler, it runs 200F cooler. I can climb the Sierras in cruise control at 70mph, 5th gear and the EGT is 750F pre-turbo.

Yeah..... I’m gonna have to add that to the list for sure. I’ve becomeobsessed with lowering those EGTs

I’ll see what photos I can take. As far as I know, the routing is the same as a FZJ80, however this attached to the turbo manifold... so some cost I’m work would be needed. All in I spent $900 US
