Builds Wyoming 1994 FZJ80 Build

[residualboulders]

Didn’t plan on acquiring another 80 this weekend. Local ad popped up for a 97 40th anniversary with 133k miles. 2 owner with a stack of maintenance records since new. Made an offer I thought he’d refuse, drove it home later that day and immediately took it out in the hills. Seller told me it’s always been a garage queen at their second home so I felt like I had to.

Removed the pin stripes this morning. Couple of cosmetic things to fix but over all a really clean rig. Fun to drive a stock 80 again - not that I dislike the mods on my 94 at all.

Coupla mods this weekend on my 94. @Delta VS rear spring clips.

I've had this redline steering wheel cover in my center console for about 2 years. Finally stitched it up. Not the very best fit, but probably good enough for who its for. That lower spoke just didn't want to sit right. If I find a better solution some day, maybe I will redo it.

Spent a few hours buffing trail stripes out of the paint, waxing and polishing so that we could get some more rain. It's like doing a rain dance. Just as I was finishing it started to rain and didn't let up. Drove it anyway.

Sliders coming soon. I hope.

Installed a Window Rocket tonight. Easy install other than it’s in the most inconvenient spot to access. The window speed actually wasn’t terrible in the summer. In the winter sometimes I wondered if the windows were going to make it back up.

Roll up and down speed is less than half of what it used to be. Not an inexpensive mod but cool that folks are making neat stuff for our classic off-roaders.
