Very cool.

That's why I did this. See Photo #10. Photo #6 would have been the best design.

Love the pic of the red one doing rollover stability testing. Would love to see one with low lift and 35s on that test machine.

Nice rig, one of my favorite colors LC colors.

Looks good De-Flared.

Likewise. Imagine everything brand new! The next best thing is I've rebuilt everything on mine and upgraded as I went. Going to cost more than a new 1.

The first pic reminds me of a early nineties lwb range rover.

Go to Venezuela and buy one. They stopped making the 80 series in 2007 at the Cumana assembly plant.

Sir yes sir. stick, automatic, AWD, part time, however you want it. Go to www.tucarro.com select Venezuela, then toyota and look for "burbuja" "autana" and if you wanna finish off, select "macho" and "macho pick up"

Yep, another member fairly recently made a few posts of his 2007 FZJ80. At first you do a bit of a double take on the year.

You don't see pics like that every day......

I must say I don't like the stacked LightForce 240s or the choice in tires and wheels.

Are these importable to the USA?
