Not sure if you’ve read the recent threads about our offerings but here’s an alternative if you’re interested in new bars: https://www.cruiserpatch.com/products/100-series-cruiser-patch-o-e-spec-torsion-bar-set-us-spec-2uz-fe?_pos=1&_sid=04719f2e5&_ss=r These are slightly stiffer than OEM but...

Had a customer come to me for an AHC delete on his ‘98 VX Limited (166K kilos on the dash 😮) All items were working when removed. Minimal corrosion, especially considering their origin (Japanese vehicles are typically a lil rusty) Lots of decent parts available- Photos coming soon. AHC pump...

Had the opportunity to suggest to a local customer my new 29.5mm torsion bars for his 1998 Land Cruiser VX Limited. He's deleting AHC (sad) and purchased the Ironman4x4 kit which included the 32mm bars (also made by X-Sway- where I source mine). His 100 is fairly stock minus wheels and tires...

The thicker the bar the less easily it will flex in low-speed compression situations but the less pre-load will need to be applied especially for heavier trucks. For on-road behavior, thick bars (30mm+) sag less (i.e. minimal front end dive when braking). For off-road behavior, the thick bars...

Only one more set of 1160mm, AHC+ 27mm Torsion Bars available in this first pre-order run! We've also got 7x available sets of 1160mm, OEM+ 29.5mm Torsion Bars on the shelf, ready to ship- https://www.cruiserpatch.com/search?q=torsion+bar&options%5Bprefix%5D=last

@ga12r1 what would you do with a 23,000 mile 2021?

When I added the OEM rear locked axle to my 99 LX I had to source the '4WD ECU' as well as the harness (w/o AHC), a diff lock switch (I chose the 80 style for front & rear control), and one bulb for the cluster (I removed the washer fluid level indicator bulb and used it in the RR locker...

I'll be shipping these in pairs via long, tubular boxes. For example, our 1160mm petrol bars get shipped via a 4"x4"x48" box with a final weight of just under 14kg The 1210mm will need a slightly larger box but the same principles apply- I'm sure you could go ahead and get some rates calculated...

I've copied this information into a page on our website so folks can view it sans-ads: https://www.cruiserpatch.com/pages/100-series-toyota-land-cruiser-lexus-lx470-torsion-bar-comparison-table

Just gonna leave this here... https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/100-series-torsion-bar-options-definitive-table-w-part-nos-and-custom-pre-order-interest.1363376/ Any additional info that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated (particularly for overseas models/JDM imports)

Howdy! It's come to my attention thanks to the feedback from some Diesel 100 owners that the AHC HDJ100 torsion bars have been delisted. I'd like to help get some options back on the market for those wishing to upgrade or restore their Diesel 100 Series Land Cruisers (and in the future, for all...

Only 3x more sets of 27mm bars available in this first batch- We’ll be ordering more based on the awesome feedback and community interest. Thanks everyone!

Apologies for missing this…we were out of town at the Great Smoky Mountain Trail Ride

Frankly I couldn’t believe no other major Cruiser company had done this yet… Thrilled to be able to offer this for the community
