Perfect...I love it!!
How do the birfs look?
I already have 3 birf jobs lined up for a nice weekend. (Wife's 62, Hltoppr's 70, another buddy's 40) 1 more won't kill me. I'll actually be doing much more than a basic birf job on my buddy's 40 (rear disc brake conversion and a few other items) So I may do that one over the next week because I'll be home until 4 since I'll be covering production for the night shift.
If you don't know the maintenance status, we should baseline it out, too. There goes that 2500 dollar savings....J/K, I think the birf parts are ~225 for all Toyota parts, 140ish for aftermarket. I would recommend the Marlin axle seals, around 12 bucks each, all the fluids, brake parts, little leaks and extras can all add up, but it won't be near 2500. I also know of a couple white FJ80s that are being parted locally if you need any non wear type parts.
You know the digits.

Oh, I'll need help alright!
First things first:
1. Buy FSM
2. Buy heater core and replace
3. Service birfs
4. Baseline everything else
5. Steam clean interior
6. Clean engine bay
Mods will be minimal until I know the vehicle and know how it is offroad and on too.
Cabe Toyota is near my work, and they give a Mud discount, I've also read on Mud that CDan is the person to go to for parts, is this correct?
