    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).

    "Are the 93's FJ80's?"

    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.

    By my calculations, the difference between a '92 FJ80 and a '93 FZJ80 is about .1%! So why bother researching?

    NYUK NYUK NYUK.

    That .1% was due to ABS & lockers front & rear. Mine has 'em but they weren't supposed to be available till 94. Color me confused. Can we just leave it at: Mine looks like this (except Dragon instead of Foxfire :gring. You can call it whatever you want...

    @#$%#$ picture. I'll try again later.
