I just put a 1.75” lift on my ‘96 80. I had a 30mm front coil spacer and I ended up getting exactly 3” of lift in front, 2”in back. My front axle is .625”(5/8”) off from center to the left(driver side in USA). How much length would I add to my new front adjustable panhard rod to center up my...
I’m in Tennessee and the 80 spent most of its life in Colorado. I’ve broke a rear lower shock mount bolt(bolt extractor broke off in bolt) which turned into a nightmare. The other bolt that broke wasn’t too bad but I’m a tad gun shy.
Jealous of the West Coast rig👍🏼
How many of you have broke the nut weld on the bottom front panhard rod bolt, the one at the axle connection?
I’ve broke 2 bolts already after soaking them in PB Blaster so I’m a little gun shy on that one. Thanks.
Hey guys, I’m installing Dobbinsons rear shocks. Does a washer go on top of bracket that connects to frame? I’ll include pictures. The previous shock I took off did not have a washer on top of frame bracket, just the bushing sitting right on top of it. This shock kit came with an extra washer...
Anyone running a -38mm offset wheel on their 80 that would care to share pictures? I’m looking at getting KMC wheels but wanted to get some ideas on the -38mm. Cheers.
Does anyone know what this is? It’s wired up next to the driver side firewall inside engine compartment. It’s not attached and hanging loose.
I’ve had my 1996 80 for about 2 months now so still digging into it and just noticed this.
My garage height opening is 82 inches although could be around 83 inches if I adjust garage door.
I have the factory roof rack now and will probably go to a rack with a similar height as the factory one.
My highest point on the 80 now is 77 1/2 inches at top of roof rack on what I suspect is...
Do the guys that run 33s(or equivalent) on a 2.5 inch lift care to share pics.
Also with this set up what is your overall height from floor to bottom middle of fender flair? Or any measurement would help.
I’m trying to be able to fit this thing in the garage after the lift if possible.
Thanks.
Hey Guys,
I bought my 80 about a month ago and just got done with most of the baselining… Now I want to start looking at lifts but my problem is I don’t know where I’m starting at as far as ride height on the rig now. I have about 4 inches to play with and still fit in garage.
I’ve saw a thread...
I ordered 2 sets of hex replacements bolts from Wits End and one pack had 1 style washer and the other pack had the other style. I ordered 1 pack for transfer case and 1 pack for differential. Just didn’t know which one was for which. Thanks
Ok guys after changing the fan clutch all is quite now so that seemed to fix the issue… Appreciate all the help! I’ll reopen thread if sound comes back after further driving. Thanks again.
I’ll also post a pic of the old fan clutch once it came out compared to new.
