What did you get your 80 for Christmas? (1 Viewer)

I just pulled the trigger on the following:

DVS 3 inch “L” radius arms
DVS full frontal protection bumper
DVS rear, dual swing outs, ladder, tire carrier, extension table with burner, hi-lift something or other. May add more stuff but got the essentials
ComeUp 12.5 winch
Icon Rebound in titanium x5
Baja Designs Squadrons


Now I need some 31s to fit those wheels. Maybe next Christmas.

Thanks to @Feldrian for the winch advice. Thanks to @Delta VS for taking care of vets.

Just waiting for my son to send the pin stuff for the ends so I can bolt it up. Steering damper. Still running the original, so will be interesting if there's any noticeable change. He's already provided a variety of King stickers for me to choose from, so it can "look the part" :hillbilly:

Slee AC dryer skidplate and White Knuckle Off Road transfer case skid plate. Lockers, rings and pinions, White Knuckle sliders, and some new tires and wheels are also planned.

Lol - did you just ask them to duplicate my order? 🤣
 
All new window/door moulding, window runs, seals, gasket, weatherstripping for all the glass, and new glass is in work, and weather seals for all the doors and hatch.

All this shît is still in the mail though. I’m excited to see how big the box is.
Leaking water or wind noise? Just curious what brought you to this place? I’m thinking of doing the same.

None of the above. All my rubber and plastic is old and cracking. Granted the felts around the windows swell when it rains and that could potentially grab hold of a window on its way down and pop it out of track.

Otherwise, my sole reason for doing this is to replace the consumables on my rig while I can.
 
Something I should’ve got a long time ago!!!

Benefit to my 91. It's got collectors plates. No more registration
Thought about that, but changing insurance companies and limiting the miles on the 80 as she is my DD is not appealing.

Collector plates don't require special insurance. And the state says I'm supposed to limit driving but they have no means to verify usage.

(4) A collector vehicle registered under this section may only be used for participation in club activities, exhibitions, tours, parades, and occasional pleasure driving.

Not specific mileage limit. And it has normal full coverage. My vehicles that do have collector insurance with acv policies are insured under the same company as my daily and the land cruiser.
 
Xtreme Overland Front and Rear Locker and Ring and Pinion kit including master install kit and knuckle rebuild kit. Eaton Lockers with 4.88 gears. $3947 including shipping. I plan to have it installed by Land Cruiser Specialist in Austin, as I have no confidence in my mechanical skills when it comes to something as important as installing gears in a differential, and I don't have the shop or tools needed to do it properly. I'm more of a brain mechanic:rofl:

Rego inspection tomorrow - rego expires end of month. So if it passes, that it's Xmas pressie. if it fails, I don't want to think about that scenario right now.
 
I got my 80 another 80 (or at least half of one) for Christmas.

Props to Trey for such an awesome build. Hoping my shenanigans can do it justice.
