So I bought a 95 80 with lockers today for 1200. It runs and drives and lockers lock and has new tires. It has some cosmetic damage on passenger fender and bumper. Very minor. It was too good to pass up the deal. It has two tiny rust spots on the tailgate and the running boards have a little...

3-4 with no rust? Does it have lockers? Where are you located?

Where are you located? Is it for sale or is it the owners and he's keeping it? Tell him I got 3 cash in hand.

Condolences man. The Lexus was the "wife's" rig. This though. Man are you sure? Did you bump your head lol? DONT DO IT...... Very clean nice rig. Is there a build on big coupe? I go on big coupe sometimes because I have an e23 and we don't really have a home so we go between big coupe and...

Are you back in Grand Rapids?

Is it in GR with you? Did you end up trading or selling the 80? Are you still looking for a truck? Thanks Looks like it has full size Chevy rims, bumper, lift, some new parts. Anything else noteworthy good or bad?

I'm thinking haul the parts ship the carcass then. A swap is cool but a lot of work. I'll learn every nut and bolt stripping it myself then once it's time to reassemble I can rebuild/replace what's needed as I'm reassembling. All the electronics will be plug and play and that helps a lot. It's...

No I have not towed a car hauler through CA. On the way there it would be an overland trip and I'm using a e350 or mini mod type build to do this. On the way back towing a truck it would turn into business and the focus changes to main roads and safe passage. I would be towing a 18ft trailer and...

Thanks Kurt. I'm going to be driving down to Panama later this year in a cargo van to get in the country and learn and see things firsthand. I'll have to drive back anyways so towing a body while the removed parts are shipped isn't as complex on my end as it seems. If I was doing all this just...

Redrum.. Thank you for the advice. The whole import thing is being over talked about. I don't care if I can't bring it back to the US because my plan to get residency is to then get citizenship. So ya 8 years later as an non US citizen I can do whatever I want with whatever truck I want. I most...

That's what I was hoping and it wasn't an indictment on the machine itself but more on my thoughts. The last part of your statement holds true for me. Between benc and his homemade metal work and this you get the bet of both worlds, high end off the shelf and creative engineering. This build...

Straight off the Panamanian government website. Also family friends own the ferry in Bocas. So for 29 grand I can get an HDJ 100, and Panamanian residency an that's about the same as a nice 06 100. So don't assume or insinuate anything about me thank you. Just asking for advice specific to a...

I see no LHD troopy on sale on mud for months and I check everyday. On top of that it would cost a lot more than 15-18 for an HDJ 100 from Panama. The 22 grand HZJ76 is on there for reference not as an actual car I'm interested in purchase. The 23 grand 100 is also for reference. I'm looking to...

I've read enough threads to know what you are about "Zimm". Try reading the initial post from September, then reading my final conclusion that for "beater" off road truck I can't pay 5 8 10 20. So I concluded that a rhd Pajero from CA was the best way to spend 3 grand. Then the post sat idle...

Thanks Kurt. I'm pretty sure based in our PMs that you know where my head is at as far as me wanting what I can't have :) VDJ, HZJ etc. The whole registering it Panama and all that I'm fine with because it coincides with some lifestyle changes I'm making. I'm going to move to Panama full time in...

I haven't read the whole build yet but I have similar ideas as far as mods and plans. Nothing extreme just really important mods for my needs. We have slightly different needs(wife vs no wife) but similar wants on a truck like this. This statement I'm copy and pasting caught my attention cause...

I've been doing more reading over the past few months while debating what I like and what fits. I've determined that I like hj47 troopy, hzj78 troopy, hzj76 wagon, kzj78 Prado, and 100 series. Of course the VDJ76 and 79 are unattainable ($$$) so have to settle. I have done mountains of research...

So what is needed to add it? I want a Turbo so even if I found an S or base with off road I would rather have the Turbo as a platform. These things are as cheap as a clean 80 or 100 and I know which id rather ride in. The pros and cons an be debated all day. So what is involved in adding lockers...

I just read a 25 page thread that should only be 17. 8 pages of immature comments by non owners. Kills research.......... Cole, I am looking at 2004 Turbos. They are everywhere with under 130k and around 12. A fair few pages back you listed all the pros it came with stock and then had a sub...

Heres the one that is number one right now. I can put two spare tires on top of the cab and almost be flush with the roof. Then Im not adding more height. Its a go if it runs and is clean. Its 4 hours away but small price to pay. Its basically a m1010 based off a van though. It doesnt have the...
