Looks pretty good, an is a good option for someone needing a complete working assembly. I just replaced the piston assembly in mine for $90 in parts, and ordered a brand new pump motor off EBay for $220. Happily back on the road for $310.
Love it. Nice bimper. I have Labs bumpers front and rear on one LX, wish I had them for the other one, but I have a ton of other priorities at the moment, and shipping to Hawaii, even a commercial address with a. Forklift on site would be prohibitive... good luck selling it locally.
“👍👍 great news. The hardest part I’m told is getting the top of the rear shocks disconnected without damaging them. I thought I read about someone cutting an access panel from inside the vehicle.”
That is a very good suggestion. I was looking at how close that clearance is under the body, and I...
The AHC fuse and a Relay are pulled. I have techstream up and running fine on my windows 10 laptop. No XP emulator or anything. I paid a computer tech to go in and cange some minor script or setting to allow techstream to work on the 64 bit windows 10. I use the software almost every week on my...
I have the pump, reservoir, ECU, switches, height sensors, plumbing and globes in place. Only the shocks and lines to the shocks are removed. I need to crawl under there to see if they capped them or crimped them off. Hopefully just capped, but I have the complete parts rig too.
I’m interested in the budget version of the 250, and I’m a hybrid service tech, so the more complicated drivetrain is not really a concern for me. I’m not going to get rid of my 100 series or 80 series even if I get a 250.
“Obviously you've got a decent wheeling rig already - I'd probably stay as close to stock as possible on your wife's rig just because it works fine the way it is. Some 33's and using AHC in high on occasion is probably the easiest route, and spend the extra time and maintenance on your main...
That’s right. I want a permanent 2” lift on my wife’s rig with room to elevate with AHC from there.
That way when she daily drives it can be comfortable, but when she needs to follow me to the ocean or up the mountain on a gnarly trail she can. Her rig came to us with AHC removed but poorly...
I’m interested in being one of the 5. My wife wants me to revamp the AHC on her LX470, and do basically what you have done, ~2” lift. Able to lower down some when helping Grampa into the car, then lift up plenty high on demand Offroad, and of course carry kids and gear aplenty.
Yep. It hurt to buy that quart of oil cause it was over $10 here at a country store after hours when the nearest Napa was closed; it was especially painful since I have a 55 gallon drum of oil at my base yard. But since I did not plan on driving the cruiser to town any time soon, and it would...
Very funny guys. I knew adding oil would solve it once I learned what the light was. It’s just that Oil is $8-10 a qt. Near my house, and I have a 55gallon drum of 10-30 at my baseyard. Planning to add in a flush, and change the oil in a week or so anyway. The 80 cruiser can be parked all week...
