Used pair of OME 850J. Unknown miles but good condition. Will ship at buyer’s expense. Thanks for looking.

Used pair, about 5000 miles on them. Dobinsons C97-145VT. Cash or PayPal only. Will ship at buyer’s expense. Thanks for looking.

Swapped out the Dobinsons 3.5-4” lift springs for OME 2862. Took a few iterations of adjusting the lower and upper arms to get the wheelbase right and more importantly the axle parallel. Panhard bar adjustment was easier. Just had to constantly...

BNIB ABS Fender flares for 80 series. Let me know your zip code and I can give you a shipping quote. Yes, shipping is extra. Free local pickup. Thanks for looking.

Or, do what I did - 285/75/16, 5.29 gears and an uncalibrated speedo 🤣 Thanks for the encouragement. Today, I am supposed to get the OME 861 springs for the front. Already have the rear OME 862. This weekend, I want to get the lowered springs...

Yea, getting to 90 really is surprisingly easy. Stock 1FZ, A442, stock axle gears, 34s, and a 10% underdrive. That being said curious to see how this thing turns out after you get it back where you want it and if you find yourself enjoying it...

@SkyMall Did installation require cutting off the rear cross member or does it bolt to the cross member? Thanks

My last one easily would do 90mph. It only did that a few times during my ownership but I often cruised at 80-85. Cheers

I drove the truck with stock 275/70/16 tires that came with stock rims I was looking for and it drives just fine. 65mph comes just shy of 3k rpm but that doesn’t bother me and engine runs smooth. So if anything, a set of new 285/75/16 will drop...

I am not selling or parting the diff or any of the drivetrain. Only removing the armor and lowering it from riding on 35s to 33s. Arms are adjustable.

I've replaced several here in Ohio because of rust holes, I haven't seen any rivits on any of them yet. Completely possible to get a used one, carefully cut it up just right, measure, weld some plate inside the frame to back the weld.

Organic cage free 80 😅

Thanks to @rtagliaferri I have a cross member now and I can get it welded 🙂 I am a little anxious about adjusting the control arms and panhard bars after I swap out the lift springs for stock height OME pair. Any advice on that part? Finally...

The stock crossmember was riveted in place. Since you are not going to find someone who can rivet it back, even if you find one, just use a piece of 2x3 x 0.120 wall rectangular tubing, have someone weld end plates on it for you and bolt that...

Looking for rear bumper cross member for 80 series. Local pickup preferable but can also look into paying for shipping. Thanks!

The truck is officially off all classifieds listings. I am keeping it 😊 The back to stock might have something to do with a brand that must not be mentioned on this forum 😭 I am told hell freezes over if you own these two last of their breeds 🤣

🤣🤣🤣

The only way i know of to reach 88 MPH in a land cruisers, is to drive it off of a cliff, and hope you catch a tail wind on the way down.

I need help with the rear cross member. It was cut off to install the custom exo cage and bumper. What are my options since it needs welding - I can get it welded but where do I find a nearly cut crossmember since it can’t be unbolted at a junk yard?

Almost there with getting rid off the armor. Several interruptions, owing to kids/halloween, but the big part was getting the upper exo cage off which took a great deal of finagling. Few more bolts and this 80 will be ready for some light weight...

I prefer that look.....and its practical as a daily too.

I agree - let’s just call it a good proof of concept that a 80 can be wrapped in a roll cage 😅 Oh well, you live you learn. Yep, by end of day today, I am stripping it all off - come hell or high water 🎃

If it were me, I would lose the "exo cage". It's not a well thought out design and I doubt it will function very well. Will it help in a flop or a rollover, likely it will help somewhat but for the added weight and the poor design...I think you...

Thanks! Looks great. While searching for information on lift and springs, I ran into my post when I had just bought the LX450 and a picture of the truck from back then - most importantly my comment that despite the 35s, the truck felt pretty good...
