This cover is sold. Thank you for your interest!

Don't know why Mud is not letting me upload photos? PM me with your email address to receive actual pics of this cover on my truck.

Selling a custom-fit cover for the 80-series Land Cruiser. This will fit all U.S. 80-series utes from 1990-1997. The 3 pics showing the cover are the actual cover on my actual truck in front of my house. This is a CoverCraft cover that cost over $300 new. I bought this cover brand new in...

Also - you could break your diff, locker or birf.... Another reason not to put on your front locker while descending steep hills is that you could break something in your front axle. The front axle and all of the components on most 4x4's is not as stout as the rear axle. Our FZJ80's are no...

Why put in a Scion head unit? Another excellent reason to put in a Scion head unit. It will probably NOT get stolen. In the past in two previsous vehicles of mine, I replaced their stock head units with nice aftermarket head units. Both of them were stolen within one year. One of my cars...

ABS with center diff lock engaged..... I believe that locking the center diff also turns off the anti lock brakes (ABS). Turning the ABS off could be good or bad depending on the type of driving you are doing. While 4-wheeling, having the ABS off is usually preferred, especially if there is...

Hey Mudders in Denver area Let's buy these pair of 255-85-16 tires listed on Craigslist and split them - one for me - one for you. http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/311181208.html I want an inexpensive spare tire for my 285-75-16 Terra Grapplers. These 255-85-16 are almost identical in...

Yo Nakman, I will buy one of those cupholder slot switch holders when you are ready to produce them. It seems like you would be able to sell 20-30 of those things no problem. Let us Know!

Speaker brand, model and size By the way - these are 6.5" speakers. There have been a lot of previous questions here on Mud about what size speakers will work. I wanted to put the largest size in that would fit. These 6.5" speakers fit fine, as shown in the photo. Pioneer model TS-G1641R...

Here are some more photos... Additional photos of what I did for creating a spacer for the front door speakers:

Speaker spacer idea Here's what I did for creating a speaker spacer to move replacement speakers out from the inside of the front doors. I carefully peeled off the black plastic cover that covered the stock front door speakers. This is the cover with all of the small round holes in it...

Just like "Skillet" did it.... Hey Skillet, Thanks for the pics and write up of your 4" speaker install in the rear doors. I installed the same Pioneer speakers exactly as you did. It was easy to modify the black plastic "cup" that the old speakers fit into. Thank you!

Nice write up. Thanks for the pics!

How much $ for re-gearing? 1. How much does it cost to re-gear an 80? 2. What brand of gears are recommended? 3. Is this a repair that can be done without any fancy tools? If special tools are needed, which tools (press?)?

Hey Alkaline, How did you advance your timing? I thought the timing, and everything else was controlled by the computer. I would be willing to advance my timing and run higher octane if I could get a little more power. By the way. Here in Denver (elevation 5300') I run regular - lowest...
