    Here's an album of pics of it, it's pretty stock at the moment. I just sold my Tacoma a couple months ago so this is finally starting to get wheeled and modified a bit.

    Lots of well preserved vehicles up here, no rust, even in the snowy parts of the state. We don't use salt or brine

    93-97 are Fzj80's. This is my 3xlocked 94 mountain beater that I bought from a fellow TW member @travistheone for $1700. It was nicer when I bought it, I beat on it up at my cabin. My 95 is also triple locked but its stock for now.

    FZ80. Those didn't have the fr & rear differential locker option and they had the smaller 6cyl. I only buy 93-97 triple locked 80's. I keep my 95 project tucked in my pole barn out of the weather.

    I think the "Orange Crush" one from North Carolina is an FZ80.

    Pretty easy to tell, they have the early style grille like mine and fender flares that don't poke as much. Most often they have cloth interior and no full floating rear axle, they'll have the full floater if they have ABS. Oh and it's FJ80... F means F engine, J means jeep, 80 is the series. Mine has an FZ engine so it is an FZJ80

    "J means Jeep"?

    Yeah, kinda weird huh, but that's what the earlier versions were mimicking and the naming convention sticks around. People will say that the J refers to the body style, but even on the pickups it has stuck around since the originals from the 40s when they were called Jeeps. Toyota was actually a contractor for Willys at one point
