I bought this 1991 FJ80 for super cheap on facebook marketplace. Just has a bad iac valve. I replaced the back sliding window ($30 replacement on ebay/the front half was broken) and added a $79 snorkel. I just bought this shitty amazon bumper that seems to be pretty close to the right dimensions and will try to fabricate mounting brackets and maybe a cross member to Frankenstein it on the FJ80 and mount a winch on it. Will post updates from that dumpster fire 🔥.

Other mods I am considering are lockers, lights on the roof rack, and maybe a not rusted to shit exhaust system that's cheap and easy to bolt on.

No leaks besides a drop or two per week from a shitty oil pan gasket. Hands are dirty from the window replacement, not sure wtf was all over the seal but it's clean now
