Hey guys, I recently got another 80 to add to the stable.. this one has the leather power seats. The driver side is stuck around half way through the rail while the passenger seat moves but makes a loud sound whilst operating. I decided to order the fix for both seats (2 gears, 2 caps). I...

Small update... I met a friend yesterday who came along with a new 79 4-door which I took for a spin.. I gt agree with boozewz.. The 80 felt a lot more modern, I felt the truck didn't do any of what I wanted it to.. It was extremely tough on imperfections, stability was so and so.. The 80...

I personally would go with the factory winch for a cleaner look.. I'm not 100% certain but i believe the electrical winch is rated at around 8500lbs, Hydraulic (which has been discontinued now) at 12500 and the PTO at 16500 (limited by the strenght of the the cord). You can definately convert...

Here are some of the long travel and high lift projects I do at our store here in Qatar.. The white LC200 is mine running ICON suspension, fully adjustable rear links, and a unibal UCA. The Merc was my DD before the 200.. It was the first and last Non-LC DD for me, not a bad truck it just...

Hey Man, My apologies for the late reply I was in the desert for a few days.. I actually just noticed that none of the pics show the PTO installed.. I just bought a factory replacement winch bumper and a 79 series winch cover (had it lying around in the store and just thought I'd put it to use)...

Hahaha.. You are a terrible terrible man!! What totally destroyed it in your last post is that i was actually thinking of selling my 80 for the 76... Mine is a 1FZ powered 96 w/200k kms and factory everything, even paint :D.. I have an introductory thread on here, nothing to write home about...

Walla @boozewz i dont now buddy but you seriously mess with my head haha.. When you first got your 76 i had been eye balling them for quite some time but i never got around picking one up because they were so difficult to source here. I calmed down for a while and just settled for the 80 and the...

Awesome Awesome Awesome pics and outtings mashalla... I have never been to Saudi but now you're really starting to get me thinking.. I need to bring the 80 down there an tag along with you guys on those trips. I'm really surprized you traded the 76.. Had i known you were interested in selling...

2013 for sure man, i have the spec sheet on me.. I'm from Qatar I was looking at the Saudi Spec trucks and noticed they get indicators on the mirrors, LEDs (which i personally do not find appealing on the 7X), handsfree telephone and electric mirrors.. The truck i'm looking at does not have...

hahaha... Would it hurt if i tell you its also factory locked and has a winch :bounce: But again, as much as i love to jump on it, i'm really worried about the stability!! :"(

Hey guys, Not very active on the 70s board.. I drive a 96 80 series; mostly stock albeit an OME Stock Height and 33s. I've always had a soft spot for the 70-series even though i rolled in one with my uncle off road back in the 90s :grinpimp: I found a brand new 2013 GRJ-71 @ the dealership...

Hey guys, Just to update this thread.. I ended up installing the PTO and boy what a mess it was. I ended up having to replace my entire center diff with a unit i sourced from the Junk yard i actually bought the PTO at. Everything was jammed from just sitting there, cleaned the...

I have the same issue with my current 96 and had it in my old 93... Seems common

I have a part time h1fa but it doesn't have the darn pto cover :'( - I also noticed today that my 80 came with an A442F from factory. I was under the impression all newer 80s had the A343F I thought pto s only came on part time tcases for some reason

Wow man awesome info.. I am truly impressed. I tried looking for a pto ready tcase in the Middle East with no luck finding anything. They seem to be close to extinct unfortunately. I have no connections in Australia to source a unit and have it shipped here (any leads are welcome). I am aware...
