Finally... my very own '94 FZJ80

[roncruiser]

Finally. Finally! Here she is.

1994 FZJ80 with lockers. 88K miles. For a 10 year vehicle, she's clean as a whistle. Very well kept by the previous owner.

First order of business: Replace the tires!

 

[loquito]

congrats

 

[cruiserdan]

Very low miles, excelent find! I have always liked that color. No POS rust-breeding roof rack either. What did you have to give for it?

 

[mabrodis]

Wow, that's sharp!! Nice find!! Take lots of pics now, cause once you start lifting it, adding tires, removing parts, etc, it'll never look like that again..

 

[roncruiser]

Got it for $12.6K. Above blue book, but what the heck. Just jumped on it.

 

[cruiserdan]

I do not think that was an unfair price. It looks to be VERY nice. The wood on the dash looks new, that is VERY unusual to see the venier in that condition. That vehicle had to have been garage kept. What a jewel, well done.

 

[nyk438]

Looks like he has an aftermarket exhaust...or that could just be the tip. Nice nice rig, start lifting that thing head to the trail!

 

[roncruiser]

Yeah, I have questions about the wood too. It seemed too good to be true, but according to the PO its all original. PO always kept it garaged. They always parked away from other cars- no door dings.
Wife wanted a new Sequoia. He wanted to keep it. Guess who won.

Nice rig Ron, That looks like a godd deal. Low miles and in excellent shape. Are you going to make it trail ready or drive it around town for a while first?

 

[Tooth Fairy]

Nice.

 

[4x4CPOSEADOG]

Wow! That a beautiful red Cruiser. Nice find. Clear coat still shiny and glossy.

Man, is she ever stupid......... Talk about a giant step backwards. Good for you....

 

[roncruiser]

It's my daily. Will be doing as much I can to get it trail ready as soon as possible.

The exhaust is after-market. Can definitely feel the slight extra pull.

Was afraid the lockers would be sticky, but they work better than expected. PO said he locked both front and rear at least once a month to keep them from freezing up.

Ron,

Very nice. The paint looks better than my Pristine. Makes me want to get out there and buff out all the trail pinstriping.


Nahhhh.

[erics_bruisers]

e

 

[blupaddler]

Ron...


Congrats on your purchase!!! Looks really nice.
What area of San Diego are you in? Let's get that thing going, and get it dirty!

 

[lurker]

Wow, nice pickup.

I see that you're missing a few aftermarket options thou.

#1) door ding options $700

#2) scratch paint $5000 - $7000 option.

#3) 1/2 way rusted out $10,000 option

#4) artistically scratched/weather beaten wheel option

#5) I detect the trouble some and never used locker option

Ha, I bet your stereo even works.

You got ripped.

I'm NOT Jealous... damm it!

 

[NorCalDoug]

Nice score!
Now get them darned damage-multipliers off of her.

 

[ChuckB]

Ron,

Did you find that in San Dawg? If so, where? And I hate you !!

 

[NovaFZJ80]

One nice looking 80 you picked up there...and for the price, think it was good compared to what i got mine for with more mileage and extra goodies (rust, scratches, etc)
