Introducing FOO, FZJ80 with Portal Volvo c303 topless

Then we decided to make some half doors to stop water coming in during water crossings. So, off with the tube doors! Also added hydro assist steering for the big tires.

both of my kids learned to drive on FOO. Here are a couple action shots.

We decided to swap the axles for portal axles that I got from a c303 volvo.

We are looking for help getting the parts needed for a disc brake swap.

@ukkonen7 was able to help my friend get some information, but pointed us to try and get more information from other members here.

Here is where the axles are now.

I plan to use the toyota rotor, TOYOTA 4351260120

Does anyone have a source for the mounting ring for using a toyota caliper j6?

Nice FZJ! I don't remember seeing topless 80 series Cruiser before but that's seems to be pretty cool. There's various versions of the Volvo disk brakes around - maybe you could check with http://www.offroadtarvike.fi if they do have some. I don't remember anymore which brake caliper they used in conversions.

Thanks for the advice. I emailed offroadtarvike and they quickly replied that they can help me.

Awesome.

Hope to start burning some metal this weekend.

Where did you get those axles? Aren`t those pretty rare in States?

[1fzpower]

Yes, very rare in the states to find these axles. They appear to have come from a batch that came in the early 2000's that were cut off of military vehicles in Europe, boxed up and shipped over. I say that as the bolts for the springs were clearly cut from torch and half was still there until a few weeks ago.

I found them after a long search in Grand Junction Colorado.

The rarity has definitely caused me to have to search for information from all over the world.

Here is pic when I got them, and some more pictures of FOO in the wild.
