A quick update on the Bosch iBooster brackets: I finally received the first production batch and have started assembling hardware kits for fitment. The firewall-side brackets are complete and ready to go. The only remaining item is the master...

meh, I mean at that point I would just get a nice RTT. I don't feel like the campteq us worth it for what you get.

while this will decrease pedal effort and increase clamping force, it might also accelerate brake fade and warping of the rotors if used on the stock brake system Brakes come down to generating heat and then shedding that heat. If this setup...

Interested for my trail 80. I have been looking to help the brakes out but don't have huge $$$ for big brake kits etc. I removed the ABS system awhile ago and that really helped with braking but I still want better, firmer brakes. So basically...

Did you properly torque the Harmonic Balancer on reinstall? Low/no oil pressure is a known side effect of an insufficiently torqued HB.

The paint job usually comes out decent but I have always been dissapointed by the longevity of the paint jobs.

Nothing. I'd hate to simply delete it because it's devolved so far...

Mine chopped with wheel base extended. It will will be around 120-122” wb when done. I will cut off a lot of frame behind rear axle too. Cheers

I've seen a few of these done over the years, and honestly the biggest headache is always the frame - not the camper itself. The 80 series unibody is tough, but putting a hard-mounted camper body on it means you're creating a leveraged moment arm...

Maybe maybe not - This was the same weight as my 80

I always thought this was way cool. I once saw this in real life at Higgys shop in Mesa. They are the cost of starter home though. And it seems like you can get 80 percent there with a regular 80 series and a camptec. Dusty--- 80 Series...

There are bunch of these things running around. I think some of them are really cool. This one was for sale in Tucson a while back-- I wanted to make time to go see it, but didn't manage it before it sold.

Unless your truck is already totalled I can't see the appeal over starting with a cab and chassis one ton. I don't think there's a lot of situations where the camper fits through on an 80 but doesn't on an f3/450 and the power, stability, and...

Extend the wheel base. In my opinion otherwise it is funky with to much overhang behind the rear axle. Cheers

thx for that, just following up on this thread now, right now I am just tossing the idea around, COG makes sense, just trying to see if it's possible. Most likely wouldn't run stuff like the Rubicon with it, so light to moderate wheeling. I may...

A couple people have put complete dolphin cabs on the 80 chassis. I saw one example of a 60 that did a cab chop and integrated the camper onto it, though I think they cut it after the first row. Anything is possible if you're determined enough...

Personally, I would buy a 1 ton, put four wheel camper on it, and then you also got a tow rig.... I think Center of Gravity will be off, unless you stretch the wheelbase. @White Sheep rig is a sweet. Using his rig as an example, if you...

Kinda like those? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-toyota-land-cruiser-fj80-98/ https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/mebane-nc-chopped-ls-swapped-94-toyota-landcruiser.1376692/ https://www.reddit.com/r/LandCruisers/s/65Lx50CV36

Basil uses his rig which is cool. :) Behind the Rocks Trail, Moab.

This is ih8mud godammit! Your therapy is to buy another cruiser.......:)

VICTORY 4x4 is a horrible company with trash products and bad customer service! BUYER BEWARE! If you don't believe me just look around at the customer reviews.

Exactly. And if their build quality and components are so shoddy, it REALLY makes you wonder/doubt about any of their testing of it in general
