Rear crossmember removed and frame spars trimmed to prepare for an Overkill Racing rear bumper.

Yup. I found Will on Marketplace.

Regardless, my thanks for the consideration Franz! I ended up meeting a fella named Will who seems to have quite an 80 series parts hoard. He had an old pair of springs that needed quite a spit shine and some elbow grease. They're pretty beefy compared to my spindly AHC springs. I guess I'll...

Darn. Wish I could make it but the rig is undergoing surgery that day. Happy motoring everybody!

Much appreciated!

I tried Volvo 240 links and I second that they do work well. Despite their thinner shaft, they held up to some pretty aggressive off roading. PSA... don’t bother with these Chinese extended adjustable links as seen on Amazon and Aliexpress. They were a failed experiment. I had a concern with...

Airbags are definitely an option but they only seem to be available for my 100 series as a spring insert (i.e. wear items). Stock 80 rear springs are higher rated than my AHC springs, but not way too high like stock 100 series Land Cruiser springs would be. I’m new to modifying trucks and 80...

Hi all! I’m gaining some weight in the behind (of my 100 series LX470) and going on a diet isn’t a solution. Ideally, I’d acquire some King brand springs which are designed for my factory hydraulic suspension with some extra junk in the trunk. Ai is saying that stock 80 series rear springs...

Beautiful weather and group of people on this trip! Special thanks to all the folks who rescued the LX after its driver thought that wheel vs. rock would result in the wheel winning. It’s entirely possible that he already had a rear bumper on order and added a tire swing out to the order this...

This’ll be a first time for me. Both wheeling the Whipsaw and in the rain! I’m all for firsts. I’ll bring some firewood.

I had to replace the actuator first and the rear locker ECU second (it all worked the year before). Everything, including the light, has been working normally after replacing both. After the locker failed and I found the inside of the actuator to be a complete mess, I reinstalled the mess to...

I'll aim to arrive at Copper Creek sometime late Friday afternoon or at least before the sun goes down. No wifey this time around. It was either I attend a baby shower with Angie, or this. It was a really tough decision.

I bought one of these, from this seller on AliExpress, and it's been working great for a year now. My OEM actuator was a complete corroded mess to the point that I didn't even want to try cleaning up what I found inside it. I figured this Chinese actuator was worth a gamble and it has paid...

Your body cladding colour matched front bumper is pretty dang awesome. I polled my buddies about possibly painting my front bumper grey to match and for some reason they all said go black. WHY did I listen to them?!

I do like this option. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find any used glass assemblies for sale either in my local area or online. I need a LHD driver’s side in case anybody knows of one for sale. There’s also the risk of used glass being pitted and cosmetically damaged to a point that...
