60 or 80, the big decision

[Luxmad450]

Hey guys, I need some advice from the people in the know. I've had a '89 HJ61 GX for about two years now, same guy owned it for 16 years before me, immac inside, factory 12ht, snorkel, bb, tb, dual batts, 2" body lift, 33's on polished 15x10 alloys, basically a really sweet tough as old truck.

Now the problem, I've just scored a '94 FZJ80 RV, 4" coil lift, 305/70/16's, bull bar with side rail/steps for 6K. I love the 60 an its taken the family on some awsome adventures, never let us down an the factory turbo is amazing but this 80 is an absolute hoot to drive in the bush, the 1FZ hammers an those coils, well what can is say. For 6k purchase I could still spend 6 on it for winch an snorkel an dual batts n stuff an still not be too far out of pocket....except every time I fill up

Aaahh, what do I do ?

The fact u even need to ask this question, begs the question, ARE U MENTAL!? There is no question the 80 is the car to have !

unless it's your daily keep the 60! Take two leaves out all round and the ride will be ace.

drop the 12HT in the 80 and your all set

what are you thinking KEEP THE 60 expectantly with the 12ht and in the condition described, you have one of the best cars in the world, why get rid of it!!!

Easy. sell the 60. some pidgeon will give you another 6 grand to play with.

If range isn't an issue put in a good gas injection setup and ditch the petrol

60 series is old hat now. Sell it before it rusts again.

Grave Dig,
The decision has finally been made. I had the 80 for sale for 2 months with only 1 offer from some tool who tried to buy it for 3 weeks without giving me any money. Not sure how he intended for the deal to work, anyhow the 60 is up for sale now so if you know anyone interested, tell em to check it out in the for sale section (when I can work out how to post photos)

Take the good bits off the 80
Sell both.

then buy a 1hdft 80 series. and add on the goodies
