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.
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.
HAM's in the GOAT I got my ham installed. This is the the forever home for my radio, but it is properly terminated on both ends of the power with an inline fuse. I took out the shifter console and cut a relief for the end of the radio. I sanded, cleaned/degreased the console surface before shooting it with some textured topcoat. The final install will be routed through my sPOD unit and installed into the Delta Vehicles Systems console I plan to install. The plate with their logo can be ordered blank so I can install the radio into it. The sPOD will give it a switched power supply. I may end up going to the FTM-400DR to make for an easier and cleaner install. NEXT UP... Fabricating a custom mount (or mounts) under the hood for the ARB twin compressor and sPOD control panel.
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.
