Hello!! Went to a crater lake in Ecuador called MOJANDA, in my 1993 FZJ80.

Nice pic. How has it been in Ecuador during the pandemic? Are 80s plentiful their?
Thanks

Plentiful and expensive as %^%(. This one cost 18,5K USD and it was let off at a good price as it was referred by a good friend. Others, round the same prices, equipped, some are nuts, 25K, 30K, 35K. Its quite nuts. Most are beat up, or not in best shape and this one was a little "gem" by a meticulous owner, so, yeah, some are ok, most aren't.

About pandemic, we had a big crisis, now getting through with the new government, but nothing like USA, we were locked down for a while in all senses ansd still are (mentally always) LOL.

I don't plan on putting them back on. PM me if you want to offer something for them before I list any of the stuff I took off.
I might be interested in some stuff. I'm just in Columbus.
 
Shipping was around $620.00, I will say I was highly impressed. It left CO on Wednesday, Arrived at the main hub in CA on Thursday and was delivered on Friday.
That's not too bad. When I was looking at their lift kit, shipping alone to MD was a little more than $200. I don't want to know how much all that would have been. Gonna look sick.
 
Removed roof rack and rails due to water intrusion into the cabin...sealed temporarily until I have a chance to weld the holes up. Rear spoiler is probably next...sigh...
Man I'm glad mine didn't come with the roof rack. Seems like a nasty hassle to deal with in many cases.

Installed the Slee washer bottle relocation kit for a project that I'm still waiting on some parts for. And this arrived finally so it'll be going on soon.

How was the fit of the Slee kit? Did it include everything you needed? Meaning did you have to get materials to extend wiring or anything.

Considering that or Delta myself.

Pretty good. To me it looks like the washer bottle sits a little angled up towards the firewall but just enough for me to notice. I believe it's like that so that it clears the cruise control cable and the diagnostic port. Hardest part was pushing the wire through the split loom the kit comes with. Let me know if you want some better pictures.
 
@cvenom96 I think when someone asks if you want something better, you always answer yes!

I had read through some (much) older comments with concerns around fitment on the Slee kit. My assumption is that the design and/or instructions have improved.
 
Out with the old and in with the new, OEM shocks from Toyota. The old ones were shot and the new ones make the ride so smooth now. Also found an annoying rattle that's been driving me crazy. New used washer was all that was needed. Will get some new bolts for the exhaust hanger.

A simple fuel filter change on the kids new cruiser has now turned into the oh so common while you are in there thing. Found this fantastic transmission harness fix.

This truck is completely unknown to us, paid 750 for it and it does turn over so at least going to give the engine a try. I have a running drivetrain if this one turns out to be a wash.

Took the rig out for a overnight trip to scout for the upcoming elk and deer hunts.

Door handles look great! I am close to replacing all of mine, as the quote "chrome" is starting to bubble and peel a little. Mind if I ask where you sourced yours?
Thank you! They are Dorman brand from Amazon.
 
Tiring weekend. Finished new steering gear swap. Front axle knuckle service with marlin inner axle seals, RCV 24 spline chromolys. Found a low range off road diff guard in a corner of the shop n boogered that on to boot! It’ll be great to wheel this beast again.
