Only thing missing is snow and Starbucks!

 

[FJBen]

So when does the lift and tires come into play?

nice pinstripe

What pinstripe?

Acetone and one of them spiffy Mr. Clean scrubbing pads took them right off. I used Meguire's Body Scrub to clean the paint and remove the ghost of the pinstripe.

Without that pinstripe it looks like every other plain white 80.

 

[treerootCO]

pinstripe is gone as well as all the emblems. Crappy thing is the Cowboy Bob on the tailgate was attached with two prongs into the metal.

whoops

 

[Beater]

hurculiner?

Root.....check this out....I can't believe no one else bid! I emailed him as he didn't want to ship it and he said he would. Shipping ended up being $65 but still a great deal!

Nice. I got one of those, and it is seriously beefy.

I thought we were working on Nathaniel to make up some

If Nat makes 'em I'll sell this one but until then ......got beef? BTW....in a couple weeks there will be a scratched but complete Slee SP available to RS members for a RS price!

Nice score! Hey can I borrow that for a few days before you bolt it up? Will be for the greater good, I promise..

Absolutely!

I took all the carpet out and washed it at the car wash. Also let it dry completely before putting it all back in. You can't tell from the pics but I washed the headliner as well. It is like a new car.

Very cool Mike! I bet it smells great too! BTW...How dare you return this thread to your topic!

 

[subzali]

So Mike do you DD this now or the Duramax?

Mine too (the FZJ80) - although I can't say it was Cowboy Bob - damn dealers anyway...still trying to find something to attach there and close up the holes

Someday I'll get out to the garage and measure some of the old style FJ40 emblems to see if any of those might do the trick

The interior looks awesome BTW

Soon, I am looking for some different rims before I start that work plus I was hoping to get it regeared first.

The Duramax is back at the dealer. Steering failed for the 3rd time. Intermediate shaft design issue.

These would look awesome with the tuner stuff!
