No, It’s 90% done though. I just replaced a bunch of old brittle hoses and gaskets, refinished the valve cover, and installed trailspec hood vents.

Tightened up the rear suspension with a Delta vs Panhard riser. Now the truck has stock geometry and tracks much better. Also found a NOS part of the aux tank from UAE that I’ve been looking for (fuel transfer tube)

I was able to track down the OZ electrical diagrams and finally built my harnesses using all OE Toyota connectors. The terminal crimping tool is super expensive, but totally worth it. I now have the overhead console, dash transfer switch, and diagnostic connectors all wired into the rear ECU. I...

hood scoop! While I’m waiting on parts for my other projects, I finally got the scoop installed. This is off a 2nd gen Isuzu Trooper from the UK. Hopefully it will help with heat extraction. Plus i think it looks pretty good.

Well Even though this option was never offered in North America, Mr. T still included the ECU harness! Yay! Time to trace and label everything... Also note, the ECU mounting holes are present and there is a stamped area on the cargo floor where the aux tank fuel sender access plate would go.

This will be a drawn out project, but I’ve decided to tackle the wiring first. If anyone has an OZ spec electric wiring diagram for the 80 series it would be appreciated! So far I have the overhead console installed and a harness created.

Yes! I’ve been slowly collecting the hard to find parts for the OEM sub tank system. I also have the ECU, fuel switch over system, overhead console, etc plus all the parts still in production.

A present from Australia arrived today!

Love the stove idea. I have a 4x4labs bumper too and have been trying to come up with something

Should be fixed now.

No trips planned over the winter, so it’s a great time to get all the little projects and maintenance done. The previous owner installed OME suspension that, after 10 years, was showing its age. After a bunch of research I decided to replace them with Fox 2.0 shocks. The ride is now...

97 FZJ80. Bumpers, sliders, rack, tent, drawers,dual battery, etc... 12 mpg mixed.

Busy time of year so not much to report, but I finished the dual battery setup and 2/3 fuse boxes. Also finished the frame for the wolfpack storage system.

Looks good! Did the speakers fit without modification?

Looks great! I’m using a Flashforge for smaller parts and a Tevo for large prints. I typically print in ABS, but I switch to carbon fiber for parts that need additional strength. No failures so far, but I usually print final brackets at 100% infill and do some post processing. A metal printer...
