Hi
That's not a fj80.
You really need a wrap on the hood to make it look like carbon fiber to make it complete.......
And those wheels...really?
They look ghey AF
no FJ80 wears a late Toyota Logo!!!
You mighta wanted to post this in the 80 Series Registry
Change the wheels, reminds me of gaudy pickups. Ditch the running boards and replace them with sliders.

@AlanCruiser
Don't worry, we beat on EVERYONE when they first get here!
Welcome!
We'll kick you and knock you down, but then we'll help you up and answer your questions!
Let us know what you need!
Couple things:
We WILL bag on you if you don't do a search.
Don't start a new thread on every little thing. Every possible thing you want to do to your LC has been done (except, perhaps make a carbon fiber hood)
Maybe designate one thread as "YOUR build thread" so that you can keep track of stuff you do and questions you ask. Some of us will muck it up with sodomy and name-calling, but that's to be somewhat expected.
Most of us are a bunch of old bastards that want you to get off our lawn, so bear with us. Give it right back, and we'll be good!
BTW, What oil should I run and what tires will fit on my LC?
Oh, and BTW, your appears to be a 95-97, so it would be an FZJ80, sporting the 1FZ-FE engine, so yes, read up on all the head gasket replacement threads.

If you meant to say Gay that was a total fail
I use Quaker State 5W-30 regular Dino oil.
I change it every 6-7000 miles.
Mine is a DD, about 13-20K per year.
My oil cap states to use 5W-30.
I accidentally put in 10W-30 once and it started leaking oil bad, burning it a bunch, and every 2000 miles, I was adding a quart. Prior to that and after correcting it, I had to add zero oil between oil changes and the change in level during that 6-7K miles on the dipstick was negligible.
My tires are Goodyear Duratracs, 285/75-16. I currently have 72K miles on them (set of 5)
I tighten my wheel bearings to 35 LB-FT, with the outer nut at 45 LB-FT.
I don't run any synthetic lubes.
I use Valvoline Palladium in the knuckles, and Lucas Red-N-Tacky 2 for all wheel bearings and U-Joints. The slip-yokes get the Palladium.
I run my tire pressures at 34 unless I'm doing a trip, then I bump up to 42 LB.
I have a 2.5" OME lift with heavies in F/R and the heavier shocks. It rides rough, but I always haul about 600 LB of crap everywhere I go, not including the power wheelchair on the lift that is always on the truck.
Oh, and I have the Chrome Package and I like it.
