Was it too sexy?

and here we thought snorkles were the big chick magnet....who knew?!
Purchased An FJ80.
What size are those?
They are 275/65/20. Comes out to 34.1x 10.8.
Yes sir it is. I hated the factory Bridgestone tires that were on it and was always worried about getting a flat, and the tread chunking. Plus even though Ih8mud sometimes it's unavoidable and they did terrible. Shouldn't have too worry about that now that I stuffed the largest tire I could without a lift. Plus with them being e rated 10 ply tires helps as well.
Purchased a 97 FZJ80 from another local mudder. Guess what color???? It is going to be a project but the added power feels nice!
Congrats Eric. Put up some pics of the new ride
nice choice on color
Will you be taking stuff off your 1992, putting it on the new one and then selling the 92?
I put new OME leaf springs on the 4Runner.
This is what it looked like driving home lightly loaded.
Right after adding the lift.
I added ~550 lbs of pavers to help break in the springs. It only lowered it about an inch.
If they settle down to that height I'll be very happy. I also wish I had the time to do the spring swap this past winter/spring. It was a bit warm.

As of now, the plan is to keep both. I am too attached to the 92 in it's current form to pillage it, but who knows what the future holds...
Replaced the heater T's on my sons 100 series today. I just checked them this afternoon and found the one almost toast. I was on borrowed time. Luckily I swung by CBT, they were in stock and I was able to install the two t's in about 30 minutes. The pic below is of the one nearest the driver side which takes the most abuse. The other was replaced too but looked pretty good still. I will keep it as a spare in case of failure sometime after 2031.
Got some new recovery gear and a jump starter. Not that landcruisers need recovery gear but there are always heeps stuck on the trail. The jump starter was such a good deal I couldn't let it go.
bought some new tires to replace the ones I recently sold.
