This is my 1993 FZJ80 Land Cruiser. I plan to make mechanical and functional improvements and use it as my "overland" vehicle for extended offroad trips.

Plasti-Dip is the Devil!
I got the plastidip off the wheels and I think it looks so much better! I also got my Wheelskin installed along with my HAM radio and got some Battle Born Cruisers flare on the spare tire carrier.
Stereo Redux 2.0... (There will be a 3.0) & Replacing Bulbs The PO (I think two POs ago) did a number on the stereo he installed. House speaker wire, power, ground, and accessory power wired apart from the factory harness and the factory amp gutted. He left a rat's nest of wires behind the dash as well as cutting out all the supports and just setting an aftermarket stereo in the hole. It took me a while to sort things out, get the joints soldered and everything to fit. It isn't where I want it to be, but it is better than it was. I decided to ignore the factory harness, and wire up a new one too. 3.0 will involve new speakers, new amp, new speaker wire and I'll connect all of it to the factory harness to keep things clean. I got the dimmer working! Installed new bulbs in the dash to improve visibility and get all the indicators working. I got all the switches and aux audio & power ports installed. I also shot the bezel with textured black topcoat so I could delete ...
Stretching Our Legs in the Nevada Desert Desert landscape has some of the most unappreciated beauty in the world. There's nothing quite like it and while it may seem desolate, it is vibrant, diverse, and alive. My daughter and I had a change to take Yagi out to appreciate some of that beauty on this beautiful Sunday in March.
Sorting the Steering & Prepping for Lockers Man! I'm good at this blogging thing... Only two years since I posted about the Battle Wagon. I've been busy wheeling, camping, and working. I borrowed a buddy's shop and we spent a day a couple of weeks ago installing a new power steering system. I installed new high-pressure and low-pressure lines, new AN fittings, a new pump, and a new reservoir, and replaced the factory paperclip fluid cooler with an aluminum dual pass cooler. What a difference! I plan on replacing the steering box with a custom box from AGR that will include a Land Cruiser 1-5 sector shaft upgrade and it will also be tapped for hydro-assisted steering. Next up... ARB Lockers installed, new birfields, knuckle rebuild, and wiring the locker controls to the factory switch and indicators.
