I've towed just about everything with both my 80's, from small trailers, teardrops, and pop-up tent trailers to a 4200lb boat, tiny house, and loaded car hauler. Whether in stock form or with upgrades like a 4" lift and gears, it's all been a...
Long term update. Have just about 30k on the case with all new bearings and gears. Happy to report hardly a spec on the magnet found during oil change. Really impressive for aftermarket gears.
So after having a ton of people reach out through social media/emails asking if they could get in on the sale after seeing our 15% percent off for those that made it to Vendor Night at Cruise Moab.....
We have decided that starting today and...
I put the LX 450 to work with the trailer this weekend while enjoying some serious model railroading.
I transported 5 Freemo modules over to Cornfield 10 in McLean, IL while assisting my friends of the Illini Railroad Club. The IRC is the oldest...
Back from MOAB and got some testing done and wanted to share some stuff.
First, I know this is taking some time but I'm engineering a lot of stuff and doing so simultaneously so while it looks like I'm jumping around it's all intended to...
Got both axles and all linkage pulled. Used the @TRAIL TAILOR press dies to get all bushings out.
Worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY to have the correct dies.
Getting everything ready for sandblast, then doing blitz black on everything with an epoxy...

Gauges installed, still need to wire them the wiring I got is to short so will extend them and turbo dump pipe welded up. Also got a couple oil pans back from the welder.

Apologies for the delay. Short a component to get things out last week. Should be completed and ready to ship in 7-10 days.
We are also moving all skids to bare metal only. The anodizing has become too expensive. It gets banged up and...
Was putting my ‘92 back together after a deserved full paint job. Clear coat was starting to fail after 32 years. I made new door cards and upholstered them while the 80 was at the paint shop. All that’s left is repainting the front bumper...
I didn't want to delete the LSPV entirely, so I opted to raise it up to match the 4" lift.
Instead of a bracket extension I welded a longer threaded rod on, that way it is fully adjustable from stock to 4+ inches of lift

Another one has been up and running for about a week now. @ttFJC brought his 80 down from MT. C&C Turbo, new injectors, new knock sensors, new O2's, full exhaust, new kickdown cable (yes we have those for the 343) since it was broken, a transfer...
Just ordered the kit as well. The EGR and the P0401 have been a headache for some time. As Colorado tightened the emissions standards for older vehicles it's made it really tough to stay in compliance. One of the reasons the 80 is living a...
Also big congrats to my dad on getting his 1979 FJ40 that he has owned since new back on the road after a 4 year engine rebuild. He had some health issues come up that slowed down the timeline, but he got it done. And man does it purr. His...
