I've been through some rigs since I signed up on this forum. I'm still working on getting a folder with decent pics of them all, and running interwebs off my phone is kinda holding me back. Anyway, I managed to sell teh UZJ100 I had for a small profit to some goddamned Libyans who really pissed me off with all of their bullshit bargaining tactics. Anyway I sold that beast and paid off my credit cards and saved up some cash.
I found a pretty good deal on a built 93 FZJ80, lockers, bumpers front/rear, sliders, lift, rebuilt trans, low mile engine swap, etc.... Basically everything I wanted to do to the 100 but at a fraction of the cost and a better platform! I went and looked at it and mechanically it was in good shape and drove awesome! But the lockers were just a switch someone had put on the dash!
SO I passed on it and kept looking. I went about two weeks and finally decided to see what kind of deal I could get on it and managed to do pretty dang good!
Plans are to throw an Aussie Locker in the rear for now and snap up a good deal on an ARB HP front when I find it. Find some 315's in a decent tread pattern for now and eventually go back to Pitbulls! I'll need Longs before the big tires and then it will need a re-gear also. But other than fiddling, this rig is done and everything I've always wanted rolled into one truck! :masturbanana[1]: Oh yeah, it's for sale! $10k firm! :fawkdancesmiley:
What she looked like when I brought her home.
Getting rid of the loud ass exhaust!
New muffler.
Temporary fix for the missing cover on trans.
Pre-Filter my buddy Mike gave me for some beers.
America...**** Yeah!
