Hi this is Steve from the PNW here in the US. I have acquired a 1995 HDJ80 from Panama, manual transmission, manual hubs, 426,815 km, lots of annoying issues that have been neglected but all in all a solid rig. My intent is to sort these out but I am not trying to build a show-stopper. The rig will always be a bit rough. My off road requirements are modest, a remote lake on the Yakama reservation a few times a year, and winter driving. Of all the forums this is clearly the best place for a newcomer to be. Thanks for compiling this wealth of information!
