So, not too impressed with the OME for the '97? I have seen the Dobinson but not as familiar with them. I was wanting the 2.5" lift with the OME as well. I did notice that Dobinson offers a 3" lift but wasn't sure if that would end up causing me to mess with brake lines and a lot of other...

My FZJ 80 has no 2wd. She's FWD all the time. She drinks it straight all of the time and she loves it too.

Really nice rig and some really thoughtful additions too. Just purchased my first LC just over a year ago and finally going to start adding to her. It is the same year and make as yours; although mine is not triple-locked...yet. :yum: I'm glad to see that you had already tested and proven...

We get snow but nothing like up further north. If you head inland even a mile (only uphill from the coast), you will hit snow pretty fast and deep. Here actually on the coast where the town is, not much snow though. Rain? Plenty...raining right now in fact.

I have no room to complain then. LOL. As for the "long winters" and the "frigid cold" we have actually been warmer here almost all winter than most of the central states. Remember, we are in SE AK which is maritime climate or a little cooler than Seattle. It has been referred to as "Seattle...

Roger that. I'll try to make it in.

I really appreciate all of the feedback and I am figuring out that there really isn't a perfect setup just like in my adventure motorcycling. I am hoping to bring up a friend and get a lot of this stuff done in a long weekend this Spring. I have no garage so it's going to be a bit tough but...

Newbie here in SEA in Ketchikan. I’m working on getting my rig together- 97 Toy FZJ. Anyone been down this far or over to POW Island? The wife and I were hoping that they open the ferry line to Prince Rupert back up this year and we can get off of this Island to the mainland. Ideas?

I’m one of the Alaskan newbies here in the OB family. I’ve recently purchased a 97 FZJ non-locked and wanting to get the basics to start with. I have an idea for the bumpers already (Slee front & 4x4 Labs rear), but would like some suggestions for the suspension (OME 2" KIT?) and lockers. As...

Leaf by Oliver is fantastic; otherwise, just about anything Partagas. I prefer the Connecticut to the Maduro which too strong for me.

How's this? So, the first thing that is making this really difficult is that I don't have my own garage, so I have to rely on a local mechanic for the time being. We moved here a year ago and still learning about the place. I bought this 80 here for $4200 and apart from a small leak and burns...

Hey Gene, I just noticed your handle there as Rangerrn and was curious as to what sort of 'Ranger' you might be referring to. I was in the 2nd Batt from 86-89.

Hey everyone, a newb to OB. I am here in Ketchikan, Alaska, and looking on the map there aren't a lot of us OB folks up here. My rig is a 1997 Land Cruiser Collector's Ed w 238k. I have to scour the ranks here to find out what I should be doing first. Thanks and look forward to meeting some...

Hey everyone, I am new to this Overland World but feel as if I was perhaps inducted years and years ago when I had my other vehicles at a younger age. Now I have the FZJ80 that I bought here on the Revilla Island where I live in the town, Ketchikan, Alaska. Looking forward to meeting a lot of...

Still here in Ketchikan, Alaska. Wondering if anyone has any experiences to share involving the Prince of Wales (POW) Island nearby with over 1000 miles of forestry roads.
