New guy...Greetings everyone!

[schradec]

Been lurking and researching a while here but now can make it official. Just recently picked up a a new to me FZJ80. 1997 Collectors Edt. in medium red pearl flavor. Not a stitch of rust. Leather all still in tact and not ripped. Really stoked on the mechanical shape as well as cosmetics. Just over 105k on the clock. No lockers but I'll survive. Appreciate all the info and help on here, excited to dive in and make the new rig mine. Cheers!


I know I know pics coming...

Welcome. Wow. Looks great and low miles to boot! Congrats

Did collectors editions ever officially come in red?

I see the side moldings and rear gate badge but that may have been added later by the PO.

Good call. Is there a way to tell by the vin?

Haha it's so bad. Hoping a heat gun and some goo gone will make them go away. I yanked the bumper off this afternoon.

Yes they came in Red! One of the best colors besides Sage and Moonglow Pearl!

Yea I really love the red. Mines for the most part in pretty good shape...hoping to get some wax on it this week and see if I can't get it to shine up a bit.

Cheers everyone and thanks in advance for all your help!
