My exploration/back country rig

[roberth]

I spend entirely too much time on Expo Forum.

1993 FZJ80. Thing is a tank. Hoping for a simple fix for the rear locker and then hit the trails as is.


Down the road I think i will move the spare to the rear bumper (have to get a rear bumper I guess) and put a second fuel tank there. 14 mpg on a good day is a bit hard to swallow.

Yup, a big, comfortable tank. Yeah, those rear bumpers with the tire mount are $$$ but they're a great thing to have. http://www.sleeoffroad.com/products/...ies_detail.htm

14 is great, my F250 V10 gets 12, and my 4Runner gets 18-22.

Good luck. I have seen several of those be very capable

Looks really straight. Like the front bumper, is there a winch in there somewhere?

Once you fix the locker, find out if you can do the Gray Wire mod on this model.

This ^^^ I did the gray wire mod the day after I bought my Taco, I think I use my locker more in 2wd then I do in 4wd.

Me too! Then I rolled it doing supercharged, locked donughts.

Nope, just the hole where it goes. May get one. Not certain yet. I haven't even seen mud with it yet.

Absolutely. I don't want to have to go to low to use the rear locker if I don't have to.

Note to self: Don't do gray wire mod donuts. lol

As opposed to say a maritime voyage?
