A friend of mine owns a shop and installs huper optik. Its a good tint for blocking UV but its about 2.5 times more than a comparable 3M tint. One thing to consider is that if you use an electronic toll pass it may interfere with it. Im planning on changing my "gangster tint" to either huper...
There are various retailers on FB and instagram. I just forgot their names. I would stay away from purchasing the wheels from another country because the high import tax. You can probably look up MONsterworx on fb

One of my tjm knobs broke, luckily my buddy had a few rancho knobs. They just bolt in the same way and the adjustment was the same. Only difference was the rancho used numbers instead of dials.

I've got the TJM adjustable shocks and progressive springs so i cant really give you much info. What i can suggest is that you install the front bumper and winch before replacing the shocks. my 80 is unarmored and i dont have my 3rd row, so the ride feels cushy and a bit bouncy. With 4...
I dropped the LSPV 3/16". Had it at 1/4" and felt too much bias in the rear almost like 60/40 f/r.
As for settings On road, unladen i use 5 front 4 rear. Offroad 3 all around.

Your better off going with some reman calipers. Rebuilds can be hit or miss and the price to replace the four pistons in each caliper is already the cost of a reman with core exchange.

I have the TJM 50MM progressive kit with the adjustable shocks. Set at 4 in front 3 in the rear. Caster correction was needed. Running on 275's for now. Ride is much more cushy than on 265's. Expansion joints on the highway to flood control roads to lahar pits are easily trekked. Rides like a...
I have the Michelin defenders on my DD. They are an upgrade over the OEM Hankook Optimos which were noisy and lacked grip in the rain on the highway. If i could find General altimax rt43 i would get those instead. BTW the size i have is 175/70/14. Head over to BITOG forums. Plenty of rave...
Was there any material in the fluid when you had it changed? Does the whine happen when you floor the gas pedal? Have you checked the linkages, coolant lines and the trans kickdown cable? Worse case scenario you will need a trans rebuild. There is also a filter screen that may have excess FIPG...
If you are going to use the later 1HD FT 24valve, i think you would need the ecu to go along with the engine. What transmission do you have currently? Motor mounts have to be changed as well. IIRC fuel tank and associated lines are different.

Is the trans running the appropriate amount of atf? My 80 is always hot even after new lines, trans rebuild, new coolant and new atf. Bumper to bumper traffic makes it seem worse. Is your trans cooler free of debris?

The 80 is at my friend's shop waiting for a new alternator and sorting out other issues. Im having battery cables made for use with military battery terminals. Having trouble finding decent quality battery cables. Rebuilt the starter recently.

I had slightly worse clear coat flaking so i ended up having the entire wheel repainted. I was informed by the shop that the clearcoat on machined finish wheels would look off if they were retouched and its difficult to replicate.

It has a fair price for a diesel converted unit. LHD steering boxes can be tough to source as well as steering rebuild kits with prices averaging about 60k pesos. If you have a local mechanic they should have a local parts vendor as well.

Interesting choice for an engine swap. Im digging the the name, are you planning on adding "High intensity halogen headlights"?
