Thanks! Yeah, I may need to find a buddy for this one. Appreciate the insight!

My wife seems interested in harder wheeling trips so looking at Dusy late September. Just wondering if someone who has done it can comment on the level of protection needed? Our 80 has front/rear bumpers, winch, sliders, low range gears, but no extra skid plates. Should I snag some skids...

This was two weekends back before I took our truck into @2KCruiser for some TLC (including the manual seat conversion which is fantastic.) Just some good Eastern Sierra camping with the family. My wife prefers offroading the 80 so I use the LR3 (now that the kids are about as tall as we are...

I am the customer, and I'm so excited! I've redone the gears three times and had John do them once again last year...but for whatever reason they just keep failing on us. My wife and I share the offroad duties and she's 7" shorter than me so this seemed like a wise investment. Super excited...

Got out with the wife for some quick snow camping outside Bishop. Was cold but a great time. The truck picked up a bit of a grinding sound when the wheel is turned right and under power though...need to dig into that. :hmm: I had it once before but it turned out to be rocks stuck between the...

Yeah, it was in Monache. And the river crossing was tough, got our Land Rover stuck out there (not the depth but the mud) but there was another spot you could cross over.

Yeah sure, my bad, let me clean out my inbox or just ask here.

Got out camping with the kids. Living up to the license plate!

Awesome, texted you. That was easy :)

I picked these up two years ago from @Deathvalleypaul hoping to avoid rebuilding seat motors every 6 months, but alas my gf prefers the look of our recovered power seats. They’ve been in my garage, they are kinda dirty but mechanically fine. Note you’ll need to transfer over the seat belt...

I think you see all the options out there. I did the tcase hi/lo gears only, but my 80 was already locked. I think if you’re needing to get into the diffs anyway, just regear the diffs. You can always go back and do the transfer case another day for the low range. FWIW I found traction was not...

Hey there. It was a bit of big project for me, but I'm happy to have done it, and by being reasonably careful with it I had a lot of fun learning how transfer cases work. I think if you're comfortable rebuilding the front axles you can probably tackle this. Getting the case out and back in is...

+1 to going through @Deathvalleypaul at least for 80 series stuff

Thanks, PM'ing you.

Bump, I missed one set I should have bought, anyone have another set available?
