Noobie Intro and First time LC owner (1994 HDJ81V) (1 Viewer)

[DAJ80]

Brief intro for the group...Wife and I picking up our first LC J80 in FL next week and driving back to TX. It's a bone stock, garage-kept 1994 HDJ81 import under 80K miles with 1HD-T, center diff lock, console cooler, and super clean interior. We're almost empty nesters and will start exploring the country soon (after some mods of course). Excited to be part of group.

Nice! I’m starting to notice more diesel cruisers in Texas. May need to meet up and chat.
You in Austin?

Very cool... I have a '93 JDM FZJ80 that I just imported. You've found the right resource in this forum!

Very nice, neighbor!

Thanks. Once I get it all baselined and modded, we'll have to sync up. Looking for local recommendations for maintenance, repairs, and anyone that can teach me about these awesome trucks.

We can surely do that.

What the hell is goin on in Jimmy's Barn

I think Jim's (@CenTXFJ60) Barn needs it's own thread to keep his Frankenstein build thread a little more focused. His Barn has become a bit of a local hangout for the San Antonio area's FJ60 guys. There's alway cool things happening in the shop. Today we got together with a new guy...

Jimmy’s Barn is not far from you. It can be a “dangerous” place though

It is not possible to not mod an 80! Enjoy the journey!
