heres my 80 day I bought her...



this is how she looked when sold.......


times were tight and was having issues. I really miss that. Wish I had held on to her and finished turning her into a beast.

80 is probably my favorite vehicle ive owned. Ill be getting another one day but keep it more friendly and my 85 runner will be the dedicated wheeler.

 

Really like this one! Amazing work...

 

In the weeds

 

Oooops. Don't know that happened

 

What kind of mpg are you 80 series owners getting nowadays?

 

You don't really want to know .... 12-14 on a good day. Lol

 

New rims and tires on my wife's 80.

 

But you can imagine a blue and white one on 33's with a 350 running on pane I guess. Dual fuel kit from Gotpropane. Saginaw steering and it's pretty fun all around.

I have sold the 1975 40, but still have the FJ62.

 

But I do

 

Beautiful! Do you have a build thread somewhere?

 

I'm not too computer savy, I'm surprised I managed to load photos.

 

Great stuff, thanks for posting!
