Well, I've been sponging information from this forum for months now, figured I might as well post up. This is my 91 FJ80, just turned 200k, and is showing its age but still continues to surprise me with its capabilities.

As far as modification goes, it has home made sliders, tire carrier and jerry can thing, OME 850j/863 springs and the supporting OME shocks and stabilizer, an unknown roof rack (which i hope to replace with Prinsu), a backyard drawer system that utilizes the middle seats for a sleeping base, and other various trail mods.

I bought the truck with all the goodies on it, so I can't take credit for how aggressive it is, but all of those things were exactly what I was looking for anyway, so that saved some money. Hopefully sometime soon, I'll be posting more with pictures of where it goes and what gets done with it, but for now I'm just going to get in the habit of using a forum again (never have been a fan of forums).

I bought the truck with the intention of going "overlanding," but focus more on trail driving and camping than great life lessons and who has the greatest gear. But I still want to get everything right on this. So we will see how things go!

Note: unfortunately I recently got a new phone, so I'm out of all the pictures from when I got the truck to now. If anyone is interested I'm sure I can resurrect them somehow. These are just a few pictures from a beach trip to go play in the snow this weekend.

You aren't kidding. It's been since October since I was in OCMD and they were so perfect the morning we had them.
 
Yeah, H2Oi. Group of friends and I go just about every year. It's a mix of Subarus, Mitsu Evos, Volvos and other randoms of us that go down.

Yeah, I've gone every year for the last 8 years, up until this last one. Didn't go for some reason. I miss it being at ocean downs

We haven't gone to the actual show, just hang around and eat. This past year some of the people we went with liked to incite burn outs at stop lights. Not my style.

Mainly we go because of the Satellite Cafe at the HoJo.

My other vehicle is a 240sx, so I'm mostly there for the burnouts haha. That being said, the 240 will more than likely stay parked at home this year, and I'll have the 80 down there!
