I removed both the cats off my FJ80 (91) had to keep the O2 sensors, maybe picked up some mpg? But I then added rock sliders and a wench, so it's a wash.
What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

Finally got around to swap wheels. Powder coated a few weeks ago.
They coated the steel acorn seats. Check lug nut torque very frequently until the coating has come fully off the seats.
Who makes that topper?

The Campteq 80 Series Pop Top was first prototyped in 2012 as a removable, low profile roof tent with useable roof space.

What did that cost you, if you don't mind posting it?
They charge by the hour and it only took about 20 min. But, lesson learned, the cold can be rough on old plastics so they accidentally broke one of the transfer switches and he insisted I take it for free. Cool guy, and a Toyota enthusiast too. I assume it would have been like $50 or less.
For price reference though, he showed me a truck they did entire underside/chassis on, and with blasting and applying an undercoat, it was around $2000-2500
Life's short! He'll might as well Turbo it too @Cruisers and Co.$8500
Turbo 1 & soon-to-be Turbo 2!

Thanks. We have 2 or more dry ice blasters near me. Maybe I'll have to give some consideration to parts cleaning.
$8500.00 is the top only LOL.
Eric makes some sweet setups used to go to his shop a lot when he was in Grand Junction. Would highly recommend if you camp a lot

Uh oh. Hmmm. Going for a quote on Tuesday for full dry ice blast of undercarriage, wheel wells, and engine compartment; and a clear protection for under and the thicker black stuff for the wheel wells.
Your “rough on old plastics” has me worried now though. Maybe I will skip the engine… not sure what is undercarriage that might be in danger…
Hmmm.
Oh, verbal site unseen estimate was “usually $2400-3200 for everything”.
Similar ballpark to pop-up van top conversions now days. I always thought it would be cool to sleep in the attic and be able to stand fully upright inside the truck to put on your pants or whatever, like a westfalia camper. If only the Hiace was more heavy duty and off-road capable like an 80, plus a pop top, that would be nuts!$8500
Yup, just the metal top and maybe some gas struts. No install, no sleeping platform, nothing.
It would be worth a talk with them beforehand. That's exactly why I wanted to try with a small part first to learn more about the process. They mentioned they also have different applicator sizes with different pressure/intensity for things like plastics. Also it might have been easier to crack since it was just an unplugged connector hanging out in the open.
But I think it's worth it, the results are pretty impressive.
