The guys at Dissent Offroad absolutely crushed this build

I opted to not do drawers. I wanted to save weight and easily remove types of gear I don't need for specific trips.

My fridge slides were rattling and grinding. So I refreshed the slides with longer 44" 330lb Vadania slides from Amazon and flipped the mount so the fridge is lower. I also added partitions to my drawer to keep things a bit more organized with...

Here's my DIY...

Considering that the OEM radiator lasted 33 years, I would opt for OEM 16400-66040. Don't forget new mounting hardware and cushions regardless of which radiator you choose. As you'd be pulling everything apart anyway, a new OEM fan clutch, water...

Welcome to information overload.

Hi all, New to the group and want to intro Lizzy. She's a 1991 1HD-T, GXL, with 366k km on the clock. I'm new to the 80 crew (had a '16 Prado prior) and couldn't be happier. Find Lizzy far more exiting to drive with a lot of character, and...

I did the second door panel this morning. I have pictures of the process. This the old door card after I removed the top edge the handle, storage pocket and all the vinyl and fabric. As you can see the previous owner really did a job on it, not...

Then added the chrome accent trim that also hides the seam of the two materials. I then wrapped in viny the top edge of the door, which I had to reenforce with some Mitreapel CA glue from the back because it had all kinds of cracks and...

Mud has a way of making you feel like you need to do more then what's necessary 😁:rolleyes:

Doing exactly this has caused me so many problems that I’ve become much more discerning of my target.

I don’t even have this squeak but now I feel compelled to just blind blast into a dark damp hole and see if I can avoid this problem 🤣

Keep plugging away. One bite at a time. One day we’ll look back and wish more of these got saved.

I got home from work Thursday and noticed that the passenger side floor was soaked. I took the hose off under the glove box and shot compressed air through it, put it back together, no more drips. I haven't noticed it doing this, but I have been...

I had the rocker arm pedestals machined down as per the arp instructions Only hold up now is rock auto didn't have enough 60 pound valve springs in stock, so the last 4 are still on there way 60 pound spring next to a standard one Cheers

The machinist reckons he didn't need to take bugger all off, turns out he's mates with the fulla i did my apprenticeship under while I'm waiting for parts I'm catching up on some maintenance, diff seals and CV and wheel bearing grease.

Cummins valve spring compressor

My home brew cummins injector puller. Cheers

What's your measurement from center of wheel to bottom of fender? I will check mine. I think i have at least 5-6" of clearance between top of tire to bottom of fender in the rear and about the same for the front. Picture below is fully loaded...

37/12.50/17

Thanks Steve! Yeah, Im curious to see how much clearance Ill need to do

The Timbren bum stops are quite nice. I can tell you that your fronts will need to be dropped considerably with 37’s unless you remove some sheet metal. Your 80 is coming along nicely…

My twin girls are turning 3! So I took a break from building my Land Cruiser, to build them theirs!

Timbren front bump stop and front heavy duty sway bar installed. New brake lines, wheels and LCP front sway bar links to go.

Got my rear Timbren extended bump stop installed to matched the front ones Got a fire extinguisher installed in the driver seat with a very meh bracket. I wanted one of those wits end one, but cant seem to find anything similar for sale. Also...
