Not sure if this was posted here yet but I just saw this great informative video on the different diff lockers available for the 80 as well as the OEM locker and how it works.

Long line of 80s https://photos.app.goo.gl/5GCCMW2pX9PDVK237

went to the 30th annual Toyota Fest in Long Beach

Oh yeah, definitely a lot more now thats for sure.

I honestly dont remember, its been a few years when I sourced all the material. Still much cheaper than buying a universal set of sliders at the time, I do remember that.

1/4 lol

Had a chance to test them out. I have to say this was one of those upgrades that I wish I did a long time ago. On road and off it was a huge difference in drivabilty. Especially going through winding roads in the mountains. It kept the body level and didn't feel like I was ready to tip over and...

The front was definitely harder to get right since articulation and lock to lock turn radius had to be interference free.

Mounted some new rubbers. 37" Yoko MT's. A lot quieter and lighter than the Toyos. However the Toyos definitely have a thicker side wall. Even at 5psi it wouldn't look deflated at all. I'm guessing since its not as heavy as your typical armored 80 would be.

Purchased the Rock Jock universal sway bars for the front and rear and started the long process of measure - cut - tack - cut - measure x 10. 80 series front tow rings fit perfectly around the tubing for the torsion rod.

Silly dumpster trying to fit in

So they ended up cutting the ends off and made the tubing and soldered the ends back on. Been working great since.

Rattle canned and lifted both tires off the ground to check for any movement.

Built the driver side slider step using 2x6. Very chunky once I got it all together. A lot easier getting in and out.

Sure has come a long way. Great work!
