My thoughts and experiences with the 80 Series .... I have always been into the off road scene. I've built some pretty capable Jeeps and have wheeled them like a $10 hooker on a payday weekend and had a blast doing it. Late night garage sessions in order to make a trail ride the following day...

Got the tires mounted yesterday. Decided to put new bolts in all four wheels, hence the delay. First ride was this morning and I am impressed. Zero balancing weights or balancing powder and the tires are smooth...even at 82mph, which is the top speed of my Cruiser. Tires are fairly quiet as well...

Yeah, shouldn't be a problem. Let me look at shipping costs and I will get back to you.

Free to a good home...complete set of fender flares. Came off a 1997 FZJ80, greyish color and in pretty decent shape. Comes with attachment hardware, located in Tallahassee, FL. If no response by 6/15 they are going in the trash.

Mine arrived this morning and should be on Sunday. Going on the same Allied 17x8 Bead Locks I've been running. Previous tires were 37x13.50x17 Toyo MT's. Looking forward to trying these out.

Here's what I did on a 80 I use to have. Super simple and inexpensive. Was welded to the frame at the rear and on the sides to support the wings.

Sorry but no, I didn't take any photos of the brackets as I was building them...was under a time crunch.

Shipping would kill the "inexpensive" part :flipoff2:

Scott had one sitting on the shop floor when I called him. Took him 41 days to get it to me. That being said, he was downsizing and moving his shop and dealing with some other life issues during that time as well.
