me too. I have a 93 TLC that I'll only part from if it comes to a choice between it and the VX (not likely). We got the TLC used because it was a good price & one of the few vehicles at the time with seating for 8 (my three & her three at the time).
As time went on tho, realized that it was probably the ultimate vehicle of it's time (virtually unstoppable). At 1/4 million miles - it's still kicking arse.
I could never plunk the VX bod on it tho. It's a straight 6 so the VX hood would have to be stretched 1/2 way to forever.

Are the 93's FJ80's?

my vx could die and still wouldn't leave me... I'd figure anything out to get it back to life. the only way to seperate me and my vx {besides prying the steering wheel out of my cold dead hands} would be if it was seriously totalled to the point of no recognition... and I'd still have to think about it.I absolutely love 'er. And on the subject of two'ing it up... my second choice would have to be an ebony all blacked out. If not I would get any color and do an extensive tan paint job, kinda military like..
I am a lifer =)

I'm trying my best to keep mine as well and have also come close to buying another. I just keep adding mods to keep me interested. I'd like to eventually build one as a dedicated off-roady and just keep it parked in the yard when not in use. The only thing swaying me away from being a lifer is the whole gas mileage thing - hard to justify driving the VX when it gets 14 mpg during regular driving (mine gets about 18 traveling the interstates).

Just figured you would know what body style your driving, but I guessed wrong.....

It looks like FJ80 was 91-92 only. 93-97 are FZJ80. As near as I can tell, there isn't much, if any difference - they just changed the name to make me look stupid. I'll never let that happen again.

Interesting. The site I looked at indicated FJ80 was 91-92 & that FZJ80 was 93-97. The URL you posted indicates 93 was the earlier model. Thanks alot. Now I'll have to do some research.
Super VXer
By my calculations, the difference between a '92 FJ80 and a '93 FZJ80 is about .1%! So why bother researching?
