offically at the midpoint of my fix; injector timing gear needs to be refurbished at a local machine shop then reassembled.... at least it's hot outside!

Also, who is this crew? Met you in Stewart BC at the gas station. We discussed we are all active on Mud, but forgot your handles. Anyways, nice to meet you all and hope you have a good rest of your trip.

Joined the 35s club! Also, became a victim of targeted advertisement, and bought a Wolfbox dash/back up cam thingymabob

Finally got the boys started with building their swing outs.

Drove the 80 almost all the way across the country and by back for the second time in 4 months. Once again she did great.

Another one going together.

Roof mounted crane is a rare option here indeed. Well done ;)

Dry ice cleaning followed by laser and coated the axles. Next up, PDR. Any recommendations for the wheel wells now that it's stripped clean? Not sure what used to be there... was thinking rubberized undercoating?

That center console is sexy. Who makes it?

I'm working on a digital pressure monitoring system for each caliper, as soon as I can find reliable pressure transducers for less than the cost of my truck. I have a sneaky suspicion that the calipers aren't holding pressure the way the should...

Ok cool. I didn't know if this was a popular mod or one of those niche mods that no one really did. My caster is perfect. I cut off the front of my radius arm mounts and welded in new ones.

There are a lot of people running things that move the axle forward around an inch. A bunch of people have done various DIY things (pretty sure Broski has something on his and his rig is pretty well sorted), Delta's arms correct caster and move...

I've always been interested in doing the front axle relocation (pushing the axle slightly forward from the rear radius arm mounts). I purchased the RedLine axle relocation kit. 80 Series DIY Front Axle Relocation Kit - Red Line Land Cruisers...

i will add that I also use a Motive power bleeder with the Toyota adapter. the ABS pump can also get air inside of it and cause spongy pedal.

If your brakes are soft or spongy, you have air in the lines. There's no way around this, this is how hydraulic brakes work; air is compressible, hydraulic fluid is not. I use a pressure bleeder to maintain pressure to in the lines while I...

Insane deal on a supercharger! GLWS

It’s my understanding that the Disco’s have very beefy front end so the tow truck has something to hook on to 😜😂 Welcome to MUD ! Clean looking 80

This is all really good information!

First photo: yes. You can omit it if you want. If you want a screw there, use one with the appropriate grommet behind it. All three of those holes should have grommets in them; they will be covered by the mudflap and/or running board endcap...
