We picked up this FJ80 a couple of weeks ago and have done nothing but drive it home and park it. It’s been sitting for the better part of a year in the POs yard and the brakes dragged hard on the way home.
In a moment of delusion, I joined Yankee Toys and signed us up for the FG next weekend. Having no knowledge of this trucks history and no experience wheeling it, we are going to make the 1.5 hr drive west with it and try to have some fun.
It will spend this weekend on the lift getting some maintenance and a full brake job, adding the center diff lock switch and putting some of the interior back together enough to have 2 seats to sit in. I might even weld in a floor pan patch for the rusty drivers side.
Looking forward to seeing all of you and seeing what this pig can do.
