    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Is this a bad idea? Always wanted to do a 3-link so playing around with the 3d scanner this weekend and made up this lower link design in order to - 1. Keep steering stock (on a budget). 2. Have lower axle mount slightly below center line. - i have seen where the just put the lower mount above...

    Ughh a 3 link would just be 🤩🤤🤤 but for now this'll do. It's still a family outing car so cant go too crazy with her. Thank for the advise though. IL seriously be considering that method.

    Hmm I'll look into that, I'd like to keep the Stock plastic fenders but if Its possible to bash that lip and maybe cut the fender underneath to hide the smashed lip I'll do it! Lol

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Yes sir, forgot to mention I have 1" spacers as well. I feel like it's just going in way too deep in the wheel well.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Lucky you! I am not so fortunate though. Here's a pic of the front at full compression and i cannot turn right in this situation. This might be because I drilled a 1/2" hole on the larger open space on the castor correction bushing to allow more flex. Apparently it works pretty good, too good...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Yeah, probably need more lift in the front when I drop the stops just so I do have some extra up travel on bumps. Right now I'm on 35" cooper's which seems smaller than other 35's and have a 2' ironman lift with medium load springs on the front with 1/2" spacers and heavies on the back. I...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Haha thanks! I haven't really had the time to test them out that much since I just put them on yesterday. But with out any load, it stops the travel at just the right point but I feel like it needs to be spaced downward a little more for the heavy loads since they are a little soft. I can...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Hi guys, put on some kong bump stops fro the rear since I had some really bad rubbing while bussing 7 people on the trails at Jambo a few weeks back. Now I néed some for the front since at full articulation, I was unable to turn the steering wheel. Does anyone know the bolt size for the front...

    "FIXED" my unexplained vibrations at speed finally

    There are inserts on the lug nut holes? I've never noticed this always looked like just bare aluminum. I looked up some pics of the LX rims and not see any sign of inserts. Saw these on a different post here For Sale - (4) LX450 rims with centercaps + (1) LC rim (80 series) (Houston) -...

    "FIXED" my unexplained vibrations at speed finally

    I added some pics to the first post and I did believe that too that the hub would center the wheel but when I was messing with it there was a lot of play around the hub and center bore of the rim. Not exactly sure how the center bore got so big in the first place. Also want to mention that all 4...

    "FIXED" my unexplained vibrations at speed finally

    If I would have known of my problem earlier I would have gotten some 17's with the 35's but oh well I kinda like the LX black and silver wheels. So next time I neet tires will definitely grab some lug centric wheels.

    "FIXED" my unexplained vibrations at speed finally

    It's a 96 and my lugs nuts are not tapered just flat. Lug holes on the wheels were definitely enlarged. Now that you mention it. Is there a way to convert the wheels into tapered lug nuts?

    "FIXED" my unexplained vibrations at speed finally

    Hello Everyone! For a little back ground, I've had my neglected LX450 since 2014 as a daily driver and fixing it along the way til present. Ever since I've had her there were vibrations at speed even after rebuilding the front and rear axles along the way but the vibes were still manageable...
