Well thanks for leaving my UZJ100 off your list

Nicest Toyota I've ever owned

 

Yeah, sorry Calamari,

Initially I didn't include the 100 at the start of this thread which is from 2003. There weren't too many of them set up for wheeling at the time. Now I feel like an idiot because I have had two 100's. In fact I liked the first one (Podvins cut up SUT)well enough that I just bought an '05 after selling the '98 back to him.

I guess I'll get used to eating crow. Would someone please pass me the bird sauce!

Holy crapola, I just responded to a REAL old post

What was I

 

Are you saying you owned the UTE??? That thing is too cool! I have it on my rotating background at work. There is a thread right now at ih8mud talking about possible Podvin UTE sightings in CO???

 

I saw that and responded to it. Alan bought it back from me after he wrecked the Dodge, I guess I had it for nearly 8 months. My problem was not needing to hae two work trucks. My 4Runner is that truck. With the 100 ute, I had to lift my fat dog into the back of it a few times a day, and that became a pain in the butt!

Oh, and IMHO; the 100 is the best all around rig that toyota has ever made.

Had a '77 40 a while ago, now I have '70 40 that I will NEVER get rid of.

 

FZJ-80, but would love to get the new UZJ-100's.

 

I own a '76 FJ40 and a 91 4runner (dd) I love both and have a hard time deciding which one to sink money into!


Its quite under powered and even with 31s was strained. Save your$$$$ and do a saginaw.

 

I now am the proud owner of an '87 FJ60 with 55963 original miles. No joke. ALL IS NEW. ALL PAPER WORK, I AM THE SECOND OWNER. The truck was titled in 1987 to a guy living in Asheville. He bought it new. There IS NO RUST ANYWHERE. No exageration. I am so excited about this one. Not damaged and redone, but new. NEW NEW. Carpet is spotless. Engine is clean with no leaks. Exhaust fumes have no scent or color. Muffler is still glossy paint is slippery. Woodgrain on the side is pealing a bit, i may have that removed.



What type of things should i do to the engine to make sure ll is well after sitting for such long periods of time?

thanks.

AND THE BEST THING MY PAYMENTS ARE $210 LESS THAN THE 4RUNNER WAS.

 

4SKIN98,

PICS

I would change all the fluids and basic service items like air filter and plugs. Then I'd know the baseline for those items, unless you have receipts showing recent service for those items.

BTW, nice find...

and once more...

Just became a proud owner of a 95 LC 80 Super excited now, will drop a factory diesel with 5 speed in a year or so

 

Have a 77 FJ40 and a old frame from a 45! Does that count as two?

 

Is there any way I can add 100 series to the poll? There have been a bunch of 100's added to our YotaTech driveways and when I started this thread I thought we were a few years away from having those numbers on YT.

Guess what, a few years have gone by and now my poll sucks because it's incomplete!

If not, I guess we'll have to live with it, huh?

Sorry to all of you (us) 100 fans out there.

Doug

 

It's ok, we will forgive you

 

Thanks C-Dog.

Just bought an '83 BJ40 which is the 3 litre diesel version. Body is very rusty, but all else isnt too bad. All for €380 which is about $500. Very excited about it. Wanted one since i was a kid.

 

Nice found!!! Congratulation man!! I will get one of the BJ/FJ40 in the future too!!

 

Doug, just for you I added the 100 series

Enjoy!

 

Lance,

Thank you so much, "You Da Man!"

I will in fact name my next illegitimate child after you.
