FJ80 Fram swap question

[BKBRUCE]

Aloha, I apologize if I’m in the wrong form. Has anybody done a frame swap on an FJ 80? I have a 1993 Land Cruiser, and my frame looks beyond repair, so I’m looking to get a used frame to swap and am looking for some help from the forum on dos and don’ts, as this is my first time.

I'm guessing it would probably be less work to find one with a blown engine and swap your (presumably good) engine into it. A "frame swap" is more like both a body swap and a drivetrain swap.

Could you post up some photos of your 80: body, frame, and undercarriage?

You have a Fzj80 and a frame swap is a lot of work but totally doable, you will need a 2/4 post lift and a lot of room.

And a lot of pizza and beer.
