When are you moving back?
I'll build the shop and you can just keep it there.

Got a chance to play with the tire machine this morning. It needs a few parts and some love, but it works. It is missing the valve and pedal for the bead seater and inflator, but all the mechanism to mount and dismount tires works great. After I plugged air into it and fixed a couple of air leaks I pulled the spare for the trailer off the wheel and remounted it to try everything out. I still haven't unloaded it from the trailer.
I only found a couple of used machines like mine for sale on Ebay and they are priced just under 4 grand. I figure I can put a few hundred into it and still be way ahead. Its one of the type that clamps inside the wheel so you can mount tires without marring the wheel.

Hopefully in the next few months.
Has anyone that’s got a FZJ80 done a rear heater delete on their rig? Would like to take a look as to how they did it if possible , mines starting to give me trouble …

I am doing it now but I’m swapping a 2uz in, so the plumbing might not be the same.
I broke down and bought the WitsEnd delete plug that blocks of the pass though under the seat after the heater is removed.
WitsEnd also sells the hose kit needed to reroute the heater lines for the delete but it is out of stock currently. You can look at it on site to see what is involved. I ordered parts of the hose kit from overseas and am still waiting for it to arrive.
Hardest thing to do might be removing the hard lines if you still have an engine in your 80.
My 80 has no rear heater from the factory if you want any pictures of how it's set up.
Well I’ve got the 4BT , so mines a little different also , maybe I’ll order the wits end kit also , but I heard he’s been backordered with no Eta on a lot his parts .
Wonder if that would be the same as to how I would reroute my lines? … I thought all 80s came with a rear heater

I'm going to delete the heater probably in the next couple of months after the temperature warms up a bit. I've been tripping over these delete hoses from Napa for the last 6 or 7 months or so 
. I can't recall why but it looks like I have two different size hoses.

do you have part # / lengths and sizes needed by chance ? Or maybe I can trade some 80 parts for knowledge and assistance on this project ! I’ve got a decent inventory of Toyota parts !I'm going to delete the heater probably in the next couple of months after the temperature warms up a bit.

Hello fellow horder,
We'll sort this out; if you look for a thread on heater deletion and LandcruiserPhil, the NAPA hose info is buried in there. He also sells OEM hose kits for this exact purpose and may even have the OEM p/ns there. I simply chose the NAPA route for no particular reason because I was there for something else.
In the meantime, let's go snow wheeling and you can fumigate the forest......from the back

Got the last if the pieces for the tire machine today. It is now fully functional. Used it to fix the tire on the grocery getter LX. I need a balancer now, and a shop.
