Thanks. If only of was a LC... or locked, or in slightly better shape... Appreciate the note though.

Hey all, if anyone has an 80 in Alaska they want to sell, let me know. Not to picky at this point, just don't want a rust bucket. May be interested in Northwest States as well, depending on price. Its about 3 grand to ship a vehicle up here if you're wondering. Thanks!!

Is the valve cover JB Welded on? Also looks like both front fenders are dented...?

TRUCK IS SOLD - Thanks!

Moving and need to part with the 80. This is a build that is mostly done. I'm in the military and the build began in Colorado. I have since been sent to Germany (can't really wheel there) then had a follow-on to Virginia (not much near DC to wheel in either). Now we are going to Hawaii and I...

Got the radiator installed. Construction is good and it does not seem to be cheeply built. It is pretty stout and pretty much slipped in. I have a 1" body lift and although the stock radiator still cleared the fan, this one hit the fan at the oil cooler inlet. It is also soldered in unlike...

How's the construction?

That's funny. I just bought an all metal from radiator barn. Should be in later this week. I looked at the Spectra last night and it is pretty cheaply built in my opinion. It only has a single row which looks to be split in the middle by a small fin or something. I have not seen the Koyo or...

That line of thinking would assume the drive shaft would not be able to move in while compressing. It is designed to slide in and out so if it got stuck in the out, or long, position to move the axle (and shackle) back you would have more problems than just a leaning truck. I'd be more...

Armorology Call Jed at Armorology. He does some really nice work. You can check out his webpage. I was going to have him do a bunch of stuff for me but the move to Germany got in the way and I have plum run out of time. Tell him I sent you to him. You can also swing by and see him. He's a...

Thought this was funny... Just ran across this in another post and thought it was appropriate... Sorry to hear about the rig, glad your family is okay... Kyon Quote from Dan on another 80 build post. "Hmm...80 buggy...on rockwells or portals....hmmmm. If I were to do this I would trailer...

Ahhh, now I got it... Well since I am replacing all four I could destroy the old fronts to bed in the rears and then replace/bed in the fronts. Sounds like too much work though... Kyon

Ummm, am I missing something??? :hhmm: Those posts are why I asked the question in the first place. This bedding process is only suitable for the front axle - not the rear. :meh:

Rear pads... So what do you do to bed the rear pads in if you are replacing all four sets at the same time? I just bought new rotors/pads for all four and will be installing shortly. Thanks, Kyon

Bump for price change $4,000 takes it.
