Not sure about it being pushed inward, but your motors may not be getting enough voltage. This was THE fix for me on every window: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/window-rocket-whos-tried-it.1364612/ Everything else you're doing helps though.

Not to derail too much but are you planning on a vacuum pump delete? Place called hyperfab makes blanking plates. Might head down that path if its feasible.

Thanks @TaylorDurdan. I passed on it. I was guessing $2-3K build (assuming my labor is worthless), and it would still be large and heavy.

@Stuparman I have an opportunity to pick up a m105 for free. Im on the fence about having another project laying around, especially if it still ends up being too much trailer for the 81. Are you still using the 105, and are you happy with it after all this time? I'd probably follow your build if...

You could get a 4x4 labs bumper or something else that replaces the crossmember. Hopefully the rust is isolated to those spots, they see a lot of salt.

Do you have a complete harness in good shape for an 85 60?

Went down that road a few years ago, no regrets. Nice looking shop space!

A modified HDJ will get you over the mountain passes loaded at 70mph no problem, for quite a bit less than an LS swap or turboing a gasser. Gotta take in to account the HDJ premium though.

I think with the military bench config you could do 10 total. Just have to figure out how to get those dang car seats strapped down.

I wonder how 5 kids would fit in a mega cruiser.

Even in a 100 it sounds very tight. Get your fiancée to drive and buy one of each.

It is a 740 ft lb impact. But yeah following the fsm is your best bet.

I bought a giant Makita impact wrench and drove it home. Probably makes some people cringe, but it worked.

I just installed a one stone in my 80. I didn't need to modify the door card, other than adding some double sided tape. This really helps me with my posture and not slouching while driving, resulting in less back pain on long drives. The 80 was not built for tall people.

Not sure if this satisfies the "B1" requirement, but I purchased metric diesel fuel line here and am happy with the fit and durability. Used the Flennor line specifically. Hose - Diesel - Page 1 - BelMetric - https://belmetric.com/hose/diesel/
