I bought my UZJ100 in 2015. While I think the 80 is a much better looking truck, the towing capacity and side curtain airbags sold me on the 100.
I really love the 100--I wheel it, tow with it, take it on vacation, drive it across the country at least once a year. Rolling up to 250k and 140k of those miles are mine. I won't get rid of it until I'm told it isn't safe to drive anymore. And my husband is @Onur so I usually take his word for things even tho it's fun to argue with him.
But I always wanted an 80.
Three years ago at Coal Mine Cruiser Classic, I swapped trucks with one of my husband's friends -- @BlueCruiser84 -- who has an 80. Listen, I was smitten with that mtn goat. I've been wheeling with 80s ever since the 100 got some armor, so I've noticed there's a tiny little difference.
Plus, an additional Cruiser is always a good idea.
Even though the blue 80s are beautiful - I really had to have white. And husband insisted on rust-free FZJ80. So he got some of what he wanted, and I got all of what I wanted, which is all that matters:
1992 FJ80. Onur picked it up for me on Saturday and got home to NY this AM. No issues. As far as I'm concerned we stole this truck.
He's already tossed the roof rack monstrosity and those decals and tires are next. He's ordered a bunch for this truck even though a lot of it probably won't go on for awhile because he's busy with his own projects.
He assured me I would hate the 3FE, but I love driving his lawn mower of a 70 so he's full of it.
After it gets baselined, I'll eventually do a 4" lift, skids, and front and rear bumpers. I'll also need lockers, cuz I'm so tired of @jonheld saying: "Engage the lockers! Oh, that's right, you don't have any."
I plan on spending a lot of time snooping around here to try and learn as much I can. Happy to finally be here!
