Here in Aus we get a lot of dirt road that are ‘washboarded’, undulating road for kms and kms.
The airbag system will make it more comfortable 🤷♂️
and there is always the question, Why not?
If it’s not been tried before, how do you know it can’t be better 🤷♂️
I have searched the threads but unable to find if anyone as done a full air bag conversion n their 80 series yet?
I mean junking the coils all together, running 4 air bags and electronic height sensors.
Here in Australia’Boss’ suspension sell the components.
Wondering if anyone ever tried it...
I run a plumbed in system on my 80, Boss Pro Kit 5 as per pics. Mounted compressor on inner wing (charcoal canister gone) and the 5 gallon alloy tank under passenger floor. I piped 1 outlet each side under the runners. Have a short section hose to pump up the 33” tyres.
Works sweet for me after...
My bonnet or hood is painted satin black, as is the scuttle panel and front panel 😎.
Yeah the second pic is showing my solar blanket, Dometic, have a battery management system for the second battery so the solar just plugs straight in and keeps both topped up 👍, especially running the fridge.
We actually have 3 x 80’s in the family, love them so much!!
2 x 1FZFE and 1 HZ
My lads white 80 is parked behind me in the picture.
The 1HZ is getting some love ready to sell, just rebuilt the rear diff, transfer case seals and steering box re-seal to do then it will be on its way 😢
Hey all, thanks for inclusion.
Read articles with interest here so thought best join to collect more data and give any benefit of my aged insite after 40 years of being a mechanic / auto elec.
My 80 spec so far:
1995 model, 3” lift, too much Superior Engineering stuff to list, E-lockers front...
