First 80

Hi all, new to this forum and first time land cruiser owner. So bought my first cruiser it is a 92 with 214k miles, but the thing that surprised me is I just got it out of service and no leaks what so ever. Everything is in awesome shape with no rust or body damage...except the hood has paint damage due to engine heat i suspect.
So over the next 6 months I plan on doing some mods and getting it ready for next hunting season.

I plan on adding a OME lift and not sure what size to go with, I will be either running 33's or 35's. Also are the shocks that come with the OME good or is it better to run another brand. Then with the larger tires should I upgrade the gear ratio as well?

Also was wondering about engine mod's if it is worth it to run headers, new exhaust, cold-air intake, etc or is all the factory build up just as good.

I dont do any hardcore mudding or crawling but I will see a lot of sand and rock where I do hunt, so any advice/help will be greatly appreciated.

Last once it stops raining I'll add some photos

Thanks.

But don't be a stranger to Yotatech... I love 80s, just haven't found a clean one yet that's cheap. So I'll just keep tinkering on the 40 and pickup and 4Runner...
