    My FZJ80 modest build

    Put in a Speski cargo barrier for my fur balls. Installation was a breeze, and now my back passengers won't have to deal will Rom drool. Mayne

    My FZJ80 modest build

    Had more to do with purpose. The low kit uses heavy springs in the front, and I think mediums in th back. More ground clearance is great to a point. The 2" lift isn't drastic, but it still comes with some challenges to steering components, drive train, and other parts of the suspension. For my...

    My FZJ80 modest build

    Actually doesnt have a lift. I've only just ordered the suspension from Will, and as it's wrapped in with my bullbar, I don't expect it any time soon. But I am digging the new tires and am quite happy with the choices I made with the body work. I've always liked the 60 series, and looked into...

    My FZJ80 modest build

    Bummer cdthicker, that was pretty low in mileage, but did the rest of pass muster? I bought mine with almost 250k on the clock, but I did so with a thorough inspection, and seeing quite a few lower mileage vehicles that looked absolutely spent. Thanks Rich. I'm not terribly concerned with the...

    My FZJ80 modest build

    235/85 are on! I need to get a new rim for the spare though. Turns out that my 5th steely is bent ever so slightly. The new ST MAXX are awesome! Almost as quiet as the p rated tires they replaced. After the initial break in, they're starting to feel less vague, and I'm sure they'll be quite...

    My FZJ80 modest build

    I picked this Cruiser up last Dec. and I'm finally to the point where addition and subtraction can now begin. I had the flare holes welded shut, and the sides Line-Xed. I'm awaiting a barrier from Speski, a center diff lock switch from Canada, ARB commercial Bull Bar, and OME low kit (thanks...

    Orange M416 named ugly.

    Sorry about the delayed reply, life gets in the way spite my best intentions. The tent is awesome. Good news is they have dealers in the U.S. now, and a smaller model designed for M101/416 trailers. So a bit of savings could be had. I've not gotten anything I wanted done yet, which is upsetting...

    Fzj80 dual battery question

    The Blue Sea product is probably great, but I rather go by the paint by numbers approach that some of the other systems have. I'm boarder line electrically stupid, so rather than sourcing parts to go with, a complete package is desirable. Brentbb, thanks for the info on IPOR's system. Mayne

    Fzj80 dual battery question

    Thank all, I've got two clear choices to choose from, and both sound like winners. I appreciate the input, I'm very green when it comes to Cruisers as this is my first.

    Fzj80 dual battery question

    The price is reasonable, and I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. Is the national Luna kit complete? And simple? Thanks

    Fzj80 dual battery question

    I'm looking into a dual settup for electrical goodies in my cruiser, and I wanted to know if IPOR was a good settup? Are there others with equal or better value? Thanks Mayne

    Mud flaps for flare less 80?

    Thanks MoGas. I'll look into it, I'll bet that price has gone up a bit.

    Mud flaps for flare less 80?

    Thanks gang! I'll try those contacts. If they are just way over the moon expensive then I'll go the diy route. I've already got my taco steely's, so I may shoe them with 235/85's and go flare less. The rhino liner solution in some respects is growing on me, but I may just fork over huge some to...

    Mud flaps for flare less 80?

    Is there such an animal, and if so where might I locate one? Thanks Mayne

    Looking at FZJ80s to replace the wrangler

    Well, I purchased said beast. Took it to my shop, had it looked over thoroughly, and what was found was a few seeps in the oil dept and power steering, and dirty brake fluid. The axles checked out and smog equip checks out.

    Looking at FZJ80s to replace the wrangler

    I agree with that statement express wagon. I've located and looked at one today that although the mileage was higher than I would prefere, was exceptionally clean and un molested. I'm having my shop look at it tomorrow, and if it checks out, then I'll purchase. I'm expecting some headaches...
