Pics of my first 80

[MHTARSTON]

I picked up my first 1996 FZJ 80 about three months ago bone stock and 106K on the clicker. I've since put an OME lift, ABR, Tundra Rims with 285's on 2" spacers, Slee's part time 4WD kit, Tuffy lock Box, Covered the wheel and gear lever in black leather and Grey sheep skins.

This truck has been fun and I love the more modern feel and ride compared to my old FJ62. I did have both windshield and sunroof leaks and pull the entire interior and headliner out for cleaning. My vicious coupler was locked up so I decided for the Part time 4wd, hope to get a couple miles better on the gas.

Still going thru and changing all fluids, knuckle rebuild, brakes and tint are next.

Very Happy to be in the 80 section now!!!!

The guy who did the wheel and shift lever is named Tino and his number is 954-297-0204. He lives in FL, you will have to mail the wheel to have it covered. He did a very Outstanding job. Had it covered in black with grey stitching. Tino has been in this type of work for over 20 years. After scheduling a time his turn around is 48 hours.

The wheel and shift lever cost me $300

Looks nice .

I noticed a lot of minor upgrades like the clear side markers. I'm guessing you did this so give us some more details if able.

Very nice low mileage, clean example of a tastefully done FZJ80. Congrats!

The wheels remind me of the Tundra I sold after getting the LC. No more trucks payments! Nice rig you have there. Like the Tuffy.

Scuba Steve, I followed this post for the Tuffy install but I pulled the center gear shifter surround to trim it perfect for the tuffy console cup holder. Install the cup holder first then line everything up off that. Very easy install, took me a couple hours.

I agree very clean installon the tuffy console and looks very nice, with a grey interior the black trim on the wheel looks very nice.

I'm curious, why do so many people dislike the OEM running boards? i kind of like them.

Lower clearance and no protection?
