Norcalsvx's 94 fjz80 buildup

after wanting a nice 80 with lockers forever i finally got one, bought it sight unseen and drove it 650 miles home.

good stuff
1994 with lockers and everything works but the aftermarket stereo.
passed smog with ease n clean title
white no roof rack
got 15.2 mpg on the trip home
cheeeap (under 3k$$)

bad
has 306k miles
needed brakes and some tlc
a/c needs a charge
somesort of drive line noise
tires look they have been sitting (cracked)

the running boards were squeeking so i took them off and repainted the wheels n front bumper.
then cut n wax the paint to bring the shine back.

future mods
2" lift with new shocks
tune up/coolant flush /hoses
diff service n tranny (next)
285/75 or 255/85 bfg km2 (i dont know yet)
sliders from 4x4labs
t-case skid plate
roof rack (i need more storage space)

pics when i got it from the CL ad



after 1/2 a day cleaning her up





first trip in norcal



all toys in the lot





maxing out the bridge



glad to finally be aboard-

Nice cruiser. I keep looking at them. I love my 4Runner but I still keep looking at these trucks.
