Hey all, glad to find this clubhouse! I posted in the general 80 tech already but it's nice to see some fellow desert rats... Name is Dave from NE Mesa. I'm a Toyota fanatic. I won't own anything else nor will my wife! I have a 89 SAS ex cab and just picked up a super clean 92 FJ80 that I can't wait to build! Hope to tag along on trip soon.
Both of you, welcome.

Hi everyone.
I'll introduce myself here
My name is Michael, I picked up '97-80, 197k miles, elocker up front.(No switch but wired) Some LSD out back. (No idea which one yet.) I only paid $2800 for it.
My old '06 2500HD Daily I sold a year ago. And wish I never did. So as time came together I sarted looking for my LC
Anyways. I hope to meet up with you all at some point. I work in vehicle engineering. Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles and Off-road.
Last year I did a work trip and was sold on going back to nature!
Moab, (had to remove the prototype)
Little Sahara,
St. George
We spent 2 months out in the wild. After that I was sold.
So the plan is to base line the 80, Then build it up for a vacation cruiser.
And I take it with me at work and do some off road traveling.
My current gig is in Mojave so as I have energy after work. I have been all over the place, Jaw Bone, Randsburg, Cal city and other places.
My current fun is Photography
Bonneville Utah, Speed Week
Grand Lakes Co. High Alt Testing
And I race my 650whp Subaru and collect, restore old Ducati motorcycles. So mechanical stuff or ECU work. Feel free to ask. I also own a online parts store for performance car parts. (funds the race car) The 80 is a steep learning curve though.
And do we have any gun nuts?
Anyways.... If you guys need someone to take photos on the runs, Let me know. I also have a ton of GoPro gear for work we can use.
I'll catch up with you all soon. Oh and I'm in the West Valley!

Welcome aboard CarbonCorsa, Friday 4/17 is the CSC meet, usually a great turn of nice folks and cool rigs. You should bring the 80, you'll fit right in, aside from it not being white.
Hey Y'all again,
Had a great conversation with Mark yesterday at 4 wheel parts and the wife and i are looking forward to getting to the 4-17 meet just to get acquainted some.
Our FZJ80 is hot the first of our 'yota stable just the newest.
First Tundra:
First 'cruiser:
Next Tundra:
The newest addition:
The grill guard and tail light guards are likely the first things to go but lots of little/big things we would like to do next.

Wow, did all the white ones end up in Arizona? Welcome
hi everyone, I recently picked up a 96 with 180000 miles, in pretty decent shape. I have mostly owned tacomas and have not turned a wrench on anything since I had a VW in high school. That said I am looking for mentors in the Flag area...I looked up Good Carma but the appear to be closed?
Welcome Flag80! Yep, Dave has closed the doors on Good Carma. I am in Flagstaff as well, coming up on 2 years into our 1992 FJ80 ownership (we own a Tacoma as well). Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or need a hand.
Im new to the Fj world. Would like to meet experienced Fj40 owners and pick there brains. Overhauling the motor as we speak. Im interested in joining you guys on a few of your 4X expeditions. I also own a 3rd generation 4Runner that loves the back country.
