Hey I just joined. I have been a toyota hater for many years. But recently I bought a 1992 FJ80 and yesterday I bought a 1995 FZJ80.
I'm going to sell the 1992 and keep the 1995. I was going to do a 1UZFE swap on the 1992 tractor, but I'm just not that into it. So maybe I'll sell the engine, tranny, wiring harness and computer with the 1992. Rust free as well.
I've owned a 2001 Tree, a 1985 Xtra Cab I converted to a 5MGE supra motor.
Problem is the 1995 did not come with factory lockers. But the previous owner installed them from a wrecked one, he had the whole vehicle but wasn't smart enough to get the wiring harness for the lockers. Anyway, I've been reading, a lot and most of the parts are probably there. He did install the "computer" for the lockers and the switch, but didn't make it much further. Is there a place that makes the wiring harnesses for the lockers on the axle so I can run the wiring up into the vehicle?
Also the front leather seats look like someone had explosive gas after eating at taco bell. The seat bottoms are trashed and ripped. Does anyone make new seat bottoms for these things (Tan leather interior)? The back seats are in decent shape.
Engine ran great, I drove it back from Southern Idaho to Northern Utah. But just after I got back the heater hose above the starter blew out. Luckily I had just gotten home and it blew coolant all over my driveway.
The rest of the issues are cosmetic and stereo related. I'll handle the stereo easily enough. Carpets need to be steam cleaned and the exterior looks like crap. It hasn't been washed or waxed in 5 years probably. So I'm thinking of raptor lining it, in a gray color.
The new truck already has OME springs and shocks. The steering is a bit loose. So I'll go through and fix all of that. I need to take it to Moab before they close it down again to Covid. So I'm shooting for September.
