Hey Chad.

Is that Goler Wash in Pic # 2?

We really enjoyed Death Valley this year over the Holidays. We went over Mengel Pass and down into the Panamint Valley one day.


If you're not part of the solution there's always good money to be made perpetuating the problem as a consultant.

After seeing all the snow the east coast was getting, it reminded me of the Arctic Truck LC's...

FWIW the head gasket problems on the FZJ's are not as bad as people make out - there is an updated HG available that as far as I know has yet to fail on an 80. The old ones seem to have failed at a rate of about 12% from what I can remember from the last ih8mud survey.

I gotta say I'm smitten with my '97 FZJ80 - fun truck so far, and zero buyers remorse.

I am happy I picked it up in So Cal though - no rust at all makes working on it a LOT more enjoyable.

Graeme, Great to see you chime in again!  Thought we lost you.  Keep in touch, huh?

BTW, Common problem when lifting the 100-series UZJ100 with IFS (Ind. Front Susp.):

Installing the OME lift torsion bars changes the front driveshaft angles enough to cause CV boot leakage/failure. There's a Slee Offroad diff. drop kit to minimize this premature failure. It consists of a new front crossmember and various spacers to reduce the change in front pinion angles.

I didn't install the diff. drop at the same time as the lift and four boots later can say, DO IT! The two outers first leaked, and then after being re-clamped, split and failed completely. I did all four as a precaution.

Joe- is there a manual hub conversion? I did one on the 4runner specifically to reduce cv joint wear during the majority highway miles. So far it's also gained me 2 mpg

Hi Grant.

Slee Offroad sells an AVM freewheel hub kit for the 100-series but it runs $760. I think I paid pretty close to that for the 4 boot replacment service

Now on my 12th Land Cruiser........

The Tennesee licensed FZJ80 was just purchased last month in Knoxville and drove to Portland with no issues.  This 80 series was advertised on IH8MUD.COM classifieds for a week and had over 1000 hits of interest.  It has original driveline with 135K on the odo, ARB front, Warn (unfortunately) 12K winch, PIAA beams, Slee sliders, Hanna Quality bumper/tire carrier, Slee/OME 4" lift with 315 MTR's, Slee wiring upgrade for headlamps, Factory F/R electric diff locks, CDL switch upgrade, Sony/Pioneer upgrade, interior lamp LED upgrades. 

 

The FJ40 on the incline has been to Moab 4 times, Rubicon twice and the our showpiece for our shop Land Cruiser of Portland since I bought the 40 in 1997.   Too many mods to list here.

I've always liked the FJ60's especially with the Diesel conversions. Classic looking truck just like the Range Rover Classic.
