I got this '95 FZJ 80 in August: Dark Emerald Pearl, no Running Boards, factory lockers, 154K with some squeaks and rattles, neglected leather and a slightly drippy sunroof. A local shop did 150K service (30K interval?) - all fluids changed, plugs etc. Apparently the diffs had not been changed for some time and it appears to have some leakage at front and rear engine seals. I put BFG AT KOs (stock size) on it.
I have been wheelin' a bit and this freaking thing is awesome! I have owned a '76 GMC Jimmy, and a '87 Chevy S-10 Blazer w/ factory 4.11s, skid plates and limited-slip diffs, and the cruiser completely outdid either of those two on the same trails. I am 100% in love and I want to bring this truck up to premium mechanical condition. I have ALOT of questions.
My first thought is to get the leaks fixed and go to 100% synthetic lubes. Any advice?
