Won't disagree with anything you've noted but will say they're working well and they seem to match other reputable brands on the market so hopefully many years of service ahead.

Update: All installed with no leaks. Gonna call this a success! Thanks for the input.

Out of town - y'all have a beer and burrito for me!

In searching some more, it appears Slee's kit uses fittings like the ones I have: I think I'm going to give it a go. It'll either leak or it won't. Will report back. Feel free to stop me if someone knows more than I do at this juncture.

Well, these were free so I suppose that’s my rationale if they fit. I also have the truck on the rack as I thought I had everything I needed to do the job. If I need to order more parts, the truck has to sit there until they arrive which is a pain.

I would have thought the same BUT metal tech has lines on their site for an 80 series and a close up enough picture for me to see the fitting... it's the same as what I have on my new line:

Replacing all my rubber lines with braded lines gifted to me by the PO. The drop line to the top of the front axle from the frame seems to have a different connection than the stock line. The stock line is a concave flare while the new line seems to be more of a compound flare. Can I use...

Second Dean @ H&H. Knows cruisers really, really well.

Sale pending. Thanks for the interest.

Got a 2021 LX570 so time to part with my 2011. She's in good shape with lots of preventative maintenance. Have a look at the add and LMK if you or someone you know might be interested. She's southern with no rust. Mud Ad - 2011 LX570

Hi Mud - I had the opportunity to pick up a 2021 570 with low milage so now ready to send my 2011 on to it's next home. She's got 148K on the clock and runs great. I wouldn't hesitate to jump in and drive her to California from NC right now. The good: Pretty good maintenance history prior to...

The low mile (15k) 2018 I had brought in via CarMax was too rusty for my taste so I passed on it. The guys at CarMax agreed and refunded the transfer fee which was great. Just sent a wire on a southern 2021 with low miles that I will fly in and pick up on the weekend. They put it on the lift...

Of course. It was a 2017 though so not the one you're looking for I suspect. It was this one: 2017 Lx570

What oil that did show on the dipstick was dark so that's a negatory on the ole oil change. If it had been clear oil I would have chalked it up to a mechanic forgetting to put that last quart in but not the case unfortunately.
