Hey guys and gals.
My name is Gary and I recently bought my second Cruiser a 1995 Triple Locked Green/Brown FJZ80 with 325k miles. My previous LX was nice but a bit of a rust bucket so I moved it along to a new owner fairly quickly before digging in.
I know our area is a hotbed for cruisers and enthusiasts in general so after stalking this forum for a few months I wanted to introduce myself and ask a few quick questions.
We are in the midst of the covid shutdown so I have a bit of extra time to do some light wrenching and upkeep, but afterwards I wanted to see if anyone with a semi-stock FJ80 would be willing to let me look at it or do a quick drive in it to compare to my rig as it sits.
I figure that talking with someone in person and having flaws and highpoints shown to me would be invaluable. If anyone is willing please post or pm me. I will happily supply beer or snacks for an hour or two of your time.
I will start a build thread with pictures once I can get it on my lift at my folk's place in a few weeks. Currently sourcing parts locally has been a pain as even though I work for Hendrick Auto the Toyota store refused to discount anything even after bringing up my ONSC membership. Frustrating.
Sorry for the jumbled intro. Glad to be a part of the family again and ready to get my cruiser up to snuff.
