Damn! When I saw the title of this thread, I thought you were searching for Drexx's Ultimate 80 with portals and 37" Krawler.

 

[FJ809496TLC]

Drexx who?

 

[FJ809496TLC]

Create classes, and sub-classes.

Eg: Fj80, FZJ80, LX, (include all sent worldwide)
Naturally aspirated, turbo, SC
Expidition, rock crawler, mall crawler,
Lifted, not lifted, locked, unlocked
stock power, V-8 power

Create "extra points" for certain mods, like DIY mods such as pin 7, or temp gauge.
Points for an ARB bull bar, or a Short Bus bumper, winches, and other stuff.
Points for appearance.
Points for number of difficult trails successfully driven.
Points for consecutive club meetings attended
Points for creative, useful FAQ's, tutorals, and other useful posts
Points for greeting new members, demerits for un-called for flaming
Demerits for not using search, before asking a question that has been obviously answered a million times.
Points for doing business with a mud vendor.
Points for helping fellow mudders

Have a Mudder Of The Year Award, at Moab, or somewhere.

This could be a lot of fun, and promote the 80, the site, build the value of our rigs, etc.

Good ideas! Anybody want to add something else to these?

Looks like I killed this thread for 5 months. Thanks for bringing it back to life....

I'd think that the ultimate 80 still has to have solid road manners. "Go anywhere" has to include highway.

I'd be inclined to vote for something that can do insane things offroad, but doesn't need a trailer to get home.

So....the ultimate LC would be STOCK LC.
I gues ,.....I won

Mine wins for ultimate driveway weight. Or Ultimate ugly and usless.
J/K I love my cruiser.

They are all the ultimate, some just more built up than other. Toyota gave us a great start i think

I don't see you having any problem meeting the criterias!

I have to agree with tech_dog it has to have "go anywhere" on and off-road. To give you an idea I'm going with this thread:

1. 93 - 97 (sorry 3FE 4.0L engine) year models
2. Still needs to resemble 80 series - aftermarket bumpers, sliders, snorkel, tires, lift and etc are ok. If the thing looks like a pickup truck - shouldn't meet the "ultimate" 80 series.
3. Still can haul people like it was designed to do.
4. Everything still works like it was designed to do.
5. Ability to lock front, center, and rear.
6. Reability

Basically, a 80 series where it can cruiser 85mph all day long hauling peope and gear - then take them to remote places off-road in all weather conditions in comfort.

Ill show it to you before the snow melts

93 - 97 (sorry 3FE 4.0L engine) year models

So reliablity isn't a consideration

 

[concretejungle]

Nobody nominated my beater? Do dents give you points in appearance?

Only in the "show off your body damage" thread

 

[FJBen]

Jesus...this is getting as bad as the rules for the "Jeep wave"

It's all in the eyes of the beholder and all about mhoney!!!!!
