Also, you can bend up you own lines for very low cost. It’s so easy a girl can do it!…just kidding about that, but a YouTube tutorial and simple tools can get it done. I help bend up and replace the brake hard lines on my ‘75 Fj40 restoration...

The Toyota factory service manual (FSM) and electronic wiring diagram (EWD) are invaluable resources for every single system on the vehicle. If you plan to do any work yourself, they are must haves. Download from the resources section. Go to...

If you're thinking about doing the lines yourself you can do the rest too Heck that's one thing I won't even really try yet lol and i've rebuilt a lot of axles/brakes

The common cause is the rubber "filler channel" that sits on the bottom of the glass and fits into the guide channel. After 29 years, that rubber, and all the rest of the rubber bits on your truck, don't owe you anything more. What happened is...

Quick WAG. Channel holding glass has slid on glass causing roller to extend beyond channel end. Fix: reposition glass in channel to position correctly so roller does not roll out at full extension.

^^^ this is how you make an 80 drive like a mini van. FWD 80 = torque steer out the waahzoo

I am on part time for a couple yrs now,. I don't find it difficult as most stated on here. I have been driving RWD cars for over 30 yrs and they are just different than any 4wd or awd vehicles, and nobody in the right mind would expect a lifted...

Those people who think AWD is the great solution need to remember that an AWD vehicle requires all tyres to be exactly the same size, make, model and the amount of wear variance is critical. It's easy to make an 80 into a 2.5 tonne FWD vehicle...

I converted to part time about 3 years ago, and I really like how the truck handles. I have a SLEE 4” running 315s, dual swing outs, ARB front bumper with winch, roof rack and rock sliders. The truck always had a vibration after the lift that...

Morrison jeep trail?

looks great!

Guess when in doubt just go test fit….. Made 2 extra trips to go get my 80 before I let the deal go, didn’t think they would fit but…they fit! The rear center caps even fit, just not the fronts. -25offset on these. Just threw on some 315 KM3’s...

Its a pretty easy fix with a router and a flush trim bit if it's just the center cap lip. Obviously you lose ability to run the caps but most caps don't fit on 80's anyway

This ^^^ Been posted on here many times !!

I suspect that's going to be a very regional question, and possibly pretty different shop to shop.

Thats a lot of work.

could always have a machine shop bore it out to 108mm

it's always the wives :rolleyes:

Mostly to receive cheeseburgers, etc...

Pussy. :lol: :flipoff2:

I'm patiently waiting for a hand crank downgrade kit.

I have to disagree!! There are plenty of bent 80 axle housing out there. And before I did my truss my front differential bolts would come loose ( common 80 issue ) almost every run causing the diff to leak. It’s never happened again after...

Imagine if a T100 had a solid front axle. Welcome to the wonderful world of the 80 series.

I'd be offended if my Disco hadn't spent more time on a flat bed than all of my other vehicles combined 😅
