Reluctantly selling my 1991 FJ80 that has been LS swapped. It has an all aluminum GM L92 engine (403HP, 417lbft TQ) and 6L80E transmission swapped in from a 2007 GMC Yukon Denali donor. The build was completed in 2021 and has over $30K in parts alone invested. A spreadsheet of the build has been maintained that I will gladly share with any serious potential buyer. Every major component of this truck has been gone over in the last 40K miles. All the OEM gauges and lighting work properly and accurately. All windows and locks work - including the sunroof! The truck runs great, pulls like a locomotive, will cruise down the interstate at 70MPH turning 2,000 rpm, and climbs like a mountain goat off road.
This was built as a no-nonsense vehicle for long distance travel and camping in remote areas with reliability and capability in mind. It has made several trips out west and recently completed a 13K mile trip to NW Canada, the Arctic Ocean, Alaska, the PNW and back to PA. It is very reliable, comfortable, capable, and is an absolute blast to drive! The details and highlights will be listed below in bullet points, but I will gladly discuss the build and any particulars with serious buyers.
This build was a real labor of love and no shortcuts were taken. All work (with the exception of the trans rebuild and tuning) was performed by myself and my son who is a professional welder. It is a solid, rust free, LS swapped 80 series that is stone reliable and will take you anywhere you want to go. The truck is currently registered in PA in a county that does not require emissions testing, so no idea if it will pass in your state. Only selling the truck as other projects are currently taking up all my time. Asking $27,500 OBO
