Driving up a hill with a stock 1FZ sometimes I think that tach would be pretty accurate as a speedo.

Leaving for adventure travel for a week and will be giving it some serious thought. It was an exciting opportunity just like my turbo charged 80 I just sold. I also need to reminded myself I only drove the last turbo 80 300 miles in 2 years.
Hey brother had those exact tires on my 97, rotate often, very often, or you won't like how they wear. I know it's a pain since they are directional. I bought mine from Discount Tire and they would rotate for free as often as I wanted, but I didn't do it often enough and they became pretty intolerable.

I drove it more than that in the first day! Rest assured it’s getting some solid miles in these days. Love the new rig, and the pop top. Post up some more pics!
Nice rig!! Can't wait to see it!
Did not know they were directionalbrings me back to Ground Hawg days
I will say they can't be beat in the mud and are exceptionally tough against rocks. But if they wear funny they will vibrate the truck at low speeds and make a lot of noise. Nice looking rig btw, would love to have that drivetrain in my 97.
It looks bad ass. It sounded bad ass pulling up too! I didn’t look too close at it as it would make me cry, very nice truck! No idea what something like that cost or is worth, but phil has good taste! His whole stable is bad ass.
Make sure you get an EGT gauge before it goes boom on them hills.

First stop with any new vehicle for me is a visit to Camelback Toyota to get a full detail and a health check up.
And LHD!
More infos please.
@Pacer Yeah that one I believe is LHD from Spain and another 80. Both manual. I think they’re both for sale. He’s got 60’s and 40’s as well. Nice yellow 45 for $20k. There’s lots of customer owned ones as well spread around so I’m not 100% sure but their website seems up to date. Really really nice work.

Aftermarket with one of kind wheel lugs nuts without a key
FWIW - All 100 series are 5 lug and 80 series are 6 lug.
That’s what I thought about the 100 wheels. The wheels on your rig have center caps which intrigued me.Aftermarket with one of kind wheel lugs nuts without a key

It’s outside of Belle Plaine, KS about an hour south of Wichita. A couple posts up I posted their website link. It’s pretty up to date, but they had a lot of other really nice Cruisers that were owner supplied for Restos and swaps. Had an LX450 from Oregon that just received a 6.2 vortec and 6l80-stock case. Pristine. My username on IG is the same as here. I put a few pics up.
