New to me - FZJ80 on 40's

Found this on Ebay, and like I did with the last one I bought, I knew I wanted it and called and made a deal outside of Ebay

Put the ONSC sticker on there - and we're good to go.

it's a 94 - 175k miles. 40" KM2s
8" of lift

Viper bumper

Flew up to NJ yesterday and drove it home - 14.8 mpg... surprising...

We're gonna have a bidding war.

James,
Tallest 80 in the club. For now. Nice find.

Stopped by Rice's and he set up a little pose shot

Was a sick clean rig. Great paint, nice interior, engine sounds awesome. Even without the mods was a good buy. James got a great deal.

Poser shot comparing my little lift and 35's to James' CS. (compensation special)

I thought that was a stock Land Cruiser sitting beside it. LC's look badass with 40's!!!!!

 

[JohnVee]

Strange to see 40's on a truck with flares. Are the fenders cut inside the wells? Might wanna be careful testing flex if not. Do you have any idea if the PO ever actually used the truck for the way it was built?

 

[jamesurq]

Fenders are not cut. I'll be very careful...

And I'm 100% sure they never took it off road.

So I"m having a tough time finding a swing out tire carrier that will fit 40" tires...
