I rolled! Donor 80 Needed! (2 Viewers)

[Arizona Jeff]

Well somehow I managed to roll my 96 in the dunes in Mexico. A soft rollover, landed on the wheels and finished the weekend with a cracked windshield. No one was hurt, all buckled in and gear was strapped down tight. Now for the reality of dealing with an incredible mess. 163k miles runs great, triple locked, 4.88's. I drove her home at 70 mph and it ran great. I'm thinking a donor vehicle is needed to make this right. Anyone got any leads on a donor or a stipped down cab in good shape? I'm not sure what's easier - putting a new cab on the existing rig or transferring all of the drivetrain to a donor rig. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

Glad to hear everyone is ok. What a beast of a truck though.

Sorry to see that. Glad to know everyone is ok. Is it too early to ask how much?

Glad everyone is well and sorry to hear about the rig.

Gnarly! Glad all is well. Was watching a Matts Off-road YouTube vid. The team there just chopped off the top of an 80. Might be up for grabs!!

Josh Micale in Prescott Valley parts out a lot of 80s. He likely has what you need. He usually posts on FB marketplace. If not, I can probably find his contact info.

Alvis and I moved the running gear to a solid 80. Wiring harness took time. Very doable swap just takes time

Thanks. I'm not sure which is the easier route. At this point I don't want to do a full roll cage - either a body swap to my chassis or my running gear to another rig.

I hear you have a body off an LX450!

Well I bought a donor…kinda. This is actually too nice to be a donor. Not exactly sure what I’m going to do yet but if there is interest in a clean chassis PM me. 1995. 230k. Runs great but I just bought it today so it needs baselining. Bone stock other than a lift and wheels. California/AZ vehicle its whole life. No rust. This is more of a “plug and play” body swap and I figured this will save me countless hours of tearing apart the dash and other fun associated with a stripped down tub.
