I looked at a 1994 80 series yesterday. IT's pretty close to what I am looking for. It's got the Kaymar rear bumper, ARB front bumper, factory diff locks. 55,000 miles. Snorkel, S/C. and a 2.5" OME lift.
There is one problem.
The shop that originally did the S/C install botched the install and the motor blew up. The motor was replaced with a low mileage 1995 1FZ-FE. However, the toyota dealership that did the replacement botched THAT as well. I guess they majorly hacked the wiring (amongst other things). Something wasn't done right and cylinder 5 gets low compression and does not fire.
How hard is this to correct?
A Toyota master tech told me that this truck needs a new motor. I am thinking I might be able to rering the motor and fix the problem.
Thanks
