I was able to convince my friend who sold me his 92 FJ80 (Gandma Gold) 2 years ago to sell me his recently rebuilt and painted FZJ80 with 287k miles. It already has 2.5" OMEs, new brake booster, new Denso radiators, rebuilt knuckles and new hoses including PHH and slee sliders.
I just replaced the rotors and pads with EBC green since it was mostly baselined by previous owner last year. I just got a few things from the 92 and transferred it to the 94 (wheels and 33 tires, roof rack, awning, onboard compressor, battery, auxiliary lights). No plans yet on adding more weight like bumpers as I plan to travel light. Ground tent for now but contemplating on RTTs.
My first trip to Leavitt Lake and Hermitt Valley at 9k elevation was night and day compared to the 3FE. Cheers!
