Good comments about the Kaymar. I had one myself on an 84 FJ60. I bent it a little the first time I stuffed the butt of that Cruiser in the dirt. Oh ya, nice Cruiser! :)

So that is my buddies new 100-series next to my 80. We both drove each others trucks a bit, it was good to do since they both have v8s and they both are autos. I was impressed with his 100 but my 80 also did not disappoint. He has way way more experience in the sand than me, I have only...

seriously no bueno

updates or more pictures!?

I like it. I was apprehensive at first cause I got other Chevies with autos (94 & 01) and was not sure how I would like the Chevy auto in the Cruiser. I have a 4L80e in the 01 and it has been a great trans for over 12yrs now but I got to say the 4L60e in the Cruiser seems a bit tighter, these...

Sweet pictures! I need me some snow wheeling... ;)

Well, here are some more pictures. Not a dent or scratch on this truck anywhere. :) I really dislike the wheels. They are 15's (which I hate) and yes the calipers have been ground. On the first ride in the dirt the rear started rubbing so we took it back to my buddies garage and...

Hey Mike, see what I come up with. The speedo is 5mph off though with the stock 4.10 gears. I may or may not upgrade the gears in the future. Cheers

Love the color! Same color as on my new 80, best color for the 80's hands down! BTW, I need a snorkel! Cheers

Nearly two weeks ago we said good bye to this truck. I was there the last day Krazytoy had it. It was such a sweet truck and the last few mods he did before it left were right up my ally. IE, the Procar seats and Tuffy console I liked a lot. It also got a nice roof rack and some LED light on the...

Import more! That is all I have to say....wait, import and build more is all I have to say. ;)

No worries bro, congrats on finding the rig you are really after! I think it is pretty much just what you wanted and I am sure people here will enjoy the build of it. It looks to be a sweeeeeet truck! I am ready to go snow wheeling anytime. But without lockers and a winch don't want to go...

Hehe... I am kind of doubting this winter will be the time that the Mongrel is brought to life. While I just knocked out some of the last big expensive purchases I am left with a few more. Suspension bits are not going to be cheap and I am leaning heavily towards new axle housing too before I...

Alright pictures.... Like I say interior is fairly clean for the age. Not all that rare but cool none the less... Seems it has lot's of Dynamat, no wonder it is so quiet inside. :) My buddy gave me this FZJ80 console so I tossed it in. My buddie's 70k original mile $900 82...

I picked the Cruiser up on Saturday. Met Georg in Elko, NV and it was just about perfect. We both arrived within 5 minutes of each other and we found a great little spot right off the HWY that had some dirt to test the trucks out on. The FJ80 is impressive. The motor is no speed demon but has...

Brand spanking new! Much bigger and heavier than I was expecting... :)

I am no Rover guy, never had my hands on a Rover frame but most manufacturers build a boxed frame with the inside rail being the thinnest. I see you have it at least half way welded to the top rail, again not a Rover guy so not familiar with their frames. The problem is when you do a straight...

Here is the bull bar I am planning to use on the truck. I ran out of sand before finishing the blasting, not to worry it will be blasted again once I modify it. This is an old ARB or TJM bar from the 1980's. It is suited for a MQ/160-series Patrol and I got it out of Australia years ago. I plan...

Your welding looks good but you really should "fish plate" that. The way you have welded the plate to the frame is prone to failure. If you don't know what a fish plate is, search google.
