Hey everybody, I'm Michael from Tuscaloosa. I'm new to the group and fairly new to the Land Cruiser scene. I bought this 93 FZJ80 back in January as a new project to fix up, drive around town, and trail ride on the weekends. I also figured I needed to diversify my portfolio of 4 wheeled toys and dig myself further into debt, so far mission accomplished! I bought the old girl pretty much as she sits now, aside from a set of Rocky Road sliders I put on a couple months ago. I've done some digging and it looks like "Mulligan" has been around this community for a while, so I'm definitely not changing the name lol. Looking forward to meeting everyone and having fun on the trails.

Welcome. If you can come up to the meeting on Thursday on 459 in B'ham we always have a good time for a couple of hours.
 
My Gawd! I've bought that dang rig THREE times! Donchu dare try to sell it to me again!

In all honesty, I MISS Mulligan terribly! If I've ever loved an 80 more than others... it's this'un! And I had never had a front locker in it either! And followed buggies many many MANY weekends! Mulligan is a special kinda awesome!

Haha no worries Eric, I think Mulligan has found it's "forever home". My driveway looks like a used car lot because I can't ever bring myself to get rid of anything. Yeah I came accross some old photos while sifting through some threads on here, blew me away seeing what it used to look like. I bought it from @TachedOutOffRoad and he gave me a little of the back story on it, needless to say it didn't take much convincing to buy it after a little test drive and seeing what all has been done to it. I've definitely enjoyed it so far, been a bit of a learning curve since most of my experience has been with Chevys and Fords. Oh yeah my last name is Armstrong, I'll hit you up on the old FaceSpace

I took Mulligan into the trail nearly every weekend. No telling who that was.
 
Had a nice productive day with Mulligan on Saturday. I wrapped up the transfer case output shaft bearing and seal, then dressed up the booty with a fresh 4x4 Labs dual swingout bumper :smokin:

The labs rear bumper looks great. Did you order it as a kit or already welded and PC'd?

I bought it already welded and PC'd. It would have taken more time to fab up than I wanted to spend using my little 140 amp welder.
Plus I really wanted it powdercoated too, and I'm not aware of anyone that can PC anything that size locally. The build quality is amazing, and I couldnt ask for it to fit any better. The most time consuming part of the installation was torching off the frame ends.
