Bigbarlo’s 96 Fj80 build

[Bigbarlo]

Might be sold. Have a guy coming to look at it tomorrow. Don’t really want to but the GX470 is calling out to me. If he pays what I am asking it will be sold. Maybe.

That's a bummer, but from what we talked about I think you'll be happier in an ifs rig.

I would keep both but Laguna parking is a bitch. My neighbor is selling his GX and it is very nice.

If you sell it you’re changing your avatar pic. Just sayin’. There’s worse things in life than driving a more modern vehicle with a V8 and IFS.

Well technically the GX is a LC Prado. It is really a modern version of an 80. Or I keep telling myself that.

Lies you just want to keep up with the overlanders

I am doing it for the electric seat presets on the GX. The 80 you have to move the electric seats manually. Like a peasant.

The thought crossed my mind to DD a GX but I just don’t care for all the electronics and the fact that they’re all autos. They look funny in stock form but they sure do clean up nice and transform into a capable SUV with some small upgrades.

I don’t care for all the electronics myself but a V8 and manual t-case will have to do. I will junk the airbags and do 3” Dobinson.

Reversed?!?

Reversed?!?

Naw just a warning that goes away once all the settings are dialed in.

Put the new stereo in the Tacoma. Pioneer AVH 4500. If you are looking to upgrade, this is the one to get. It has everything.

I would really love to upgrade mine but it has navigation built in already n it seems like a waste to remove

Toyota nav is imo one of the best available. Wife has a new German vroom vroom from Stuttgart and it's nav suuuuucks. would have thought ze Ger-mans would be all over that effort. nope. I'll miss the toyota nav (better than random reboots and boot loops). I've become quite good at powering off ACC from the ignition while underway by turning the key just enough to cut off the power but not have the starter go off.
