So us guys here at TJM had the Idea to build up an internal 80 Series for Off-Road Expo..... First we had to find a Donor car. Thanks to our friend Andreas, donor 80 found! Literally 30min ago...... 1992 with 176K and near perfect interior.....1 hour later it's now in our driveway! Why a 1992? Lets just say the price was right;)
Since we all still have to work during the day, shipping, answering sales & tech calls, etc....We are only going to have from 5pm+12am'ish to get it done!

I'm feeling a couple of late nights and lots of :wrench::wrench::wrench:redbull's:wrench::wrench::wrench: to get to Expo..... But our team here @ TJM all come from a love of anything with 4Wheels, and a even bigger love of Toyota's.... so it should go pretty fast!

The plans are 4" Suspension, T-13 Bull Bar, Stealth Winch, Side & Brush Bars, Rear Bar, TJM Snorkel, TJM Roof Rack, TJM Seat Covers, TJM Dual Battery Kit, TJM Fridge Freeze, 35" Wheels & Tires and some TJM graphics to cap it all off! IF it all goes well you can come by and see it this weekend in our booth in Pomona CA @ Off-Road Expo! The wild card is.....well its a 80series:) You all know anything can and will happen:D

Why are we doing this your ask??????
What would poses a couple of Monkeys to pull some late nights away from family????
To show how reasonable a 80 series is to jump into and make into a capable fun machine in just a few days! We know we won't get everything done in 3 nights.....but we will keep you posted as our TJM80S becomes an internal flagship for everyone to enjoy a weekend or two with here at TJM USA! Stay Equipped My Friends!

Wish you would have said something... I would have happily left my 80 when I was there a few weeks ago picking up my 4" lift..

edit: can you stream it live? that would be epic.

Welcome to the 'MUD and SUBSCRIBED!!! :popcorn:

This is going to be a fund build to watch! Now I have a slow lane friend!!! I call it the 3FE state of mind - I'm going slow - it's a Land Cruiser - not a Land Speeder! I get to see more... Spot little dirt roads and such... hehehe

I hope you guys love your 80-Series as much as I do mine!


My '92 ADV80 made it onto the TJM FaceBook page as I stopped in to visit with TJM North America last week.

Thanks for posting the image of my rig!

I'M A FAN - I love my TJM equipped ADV80!

 
Front 4" springs ready to go in! As you can see our 4" springs are almost the same height as the stock on the right. Ours do increase the spring rate some by increased wire size, but we have not heard any 4" complaints yet... And yes we stock them in black!!!!:)

Now here is a first here for us in the USA.... Our HD front sway bar..... Since this truck will see a some trail and street use and we suspect a wife or two will adopt it for elementary school kid duty, we thought we'd give it a try.... If we don't like it stock one will go back on next week.....

I'm eager to see how this one turns out. :popcorn:
 
Going to toss in our 1/2 spacer up front to give it the right stance. We aren't planning to have a dump truck full of gear in back..... So putting this little wedge up front should give us that level stance we know and love here in the USA..... Looking to avoid any stink bug look.... Will see....:cool:
