    For Sale Boston, MA FJ80 Roof Rack Elimination Hardware $40

    sorry for the late response…And also the lack of an reassuring answer as to whether this works on a 100 series Land Cruiser.

    For Sale Boston, MA FJ80 Roof Rack Elimination Hardware $40

    when one of our favorite vendors was out of their kit at the time and I was a able to source something very similar but found a couple of my roof's threaded inserts had spun and weren't gonna retain sufficient grip with the sheet metal. Making this solution a non-option for me. I hope someone...

    80 shock thread - familiar territory could use update

    I've had the set up and camber correction bushing for over a year and am very happy with it. It raised the front 1.5" and rear 2.0". For general use I've chosen nearly to max out the low speed compression and rebound damping. With this setting, even with the lift and when loaded, the truck...

    80 shock thread - familiar territory could use update

    yes, that Ironman kit was tempting. Thanks everyone for their input. I ended up ordering a Dobinson “1.75” 80 Series lift kit. I selected the variable rate comfort springs for up to 110 lbs in the front and stock weight rear. Shocks have external reservoir and adjustable low speed compression...

    80 shock thread - familiar territory could use update

    Im not asking for consistent ride height between “unloaded” and “loaded”. Actually, when unloaded I’d like to be even or up to an inch higher in the rear. lift of 0” to 2.5” from where Im sitting now. When loaded for camping I accept accompanying sag in the rear, its just sagging too much...

    80 shock thread - familiar territory could use update

    Airbags may be the ticket, but hear me out: I've scanned the 80 series tech suspension sticky, I haven't done the math, but Dobinson progressive springs (C59-220V, C59-269) might be a good compromise for me. These are for a modest 1.75" lift on a light rig (meets my lift req') like I usually...

    Box Rocket- thanks for the suggestion. I called Mill Creek Overland and found they only have a few of the fronts in 50mm, it doesn't sound like they'll be carrying the 50mm intermediate kits moving forward. They do have the 75mm kits, but the additional lift is a deal breaker for me. In one...

    80 shock thread - familiar territory could use update

    loving my 80 after 10 years of ownership think its time for a suspension upgrade and looking for some advice. Currently on stock springs and shocks, 33s, stock bumpers, no winch, no swing out spare. I like the stock ride but Im sure id benefit from a refresh. Things get interesting when loading...

    For Sale MA: FZJ80 Stock Wheels Winter Blizzak tires

    I am selling our Toyota FZJ80 series Land Cruiser winter wheelset. These are stock OEM Toyota 16" diameter rims, 8 inches wide. The rims are true, no curb rash, no dents, but they do have significant surface corrosion from New England's salted roads. These could be powder coated to look...

    For Sale 95 FZJ80 just posted on Bring a Trailer 91k miles!!!!

    Being from Boston that rust is not alarming but What’s with the recent head gasket replacement before 100,000 miles? I just did mine at over 200,000 miles which I think is closer to average.

    Are there any Machinists on mud?

    Maybe it would help if instead of the hex head you just had a knurled cylinder there.

    Are there any Machinists on mud?

    I bet the “Guys” are used to putting 50 ft*lbs or so on that size hex head when torquing higher grade steel automotive bolts. So your hollow brass bolt under the same torque appears to be failing in shear. Might consider changing the design while you’re at it to prevent breaking your...
