    Your 80's color scheme!

    they are just weld on beadlocks that i had made. the wheels are just black steel wheels and i sent the lexus graphic to great lakes offroad (if i remember correctly) and they cut it in the beadlocks. heres a pic thats a lil closer up..

    What do you tow your 80 with?

    i didnt do much planning on the length, i actually went to purchase a 20ft trailer that was identical to this one but they had sold it and only had this 22ft one. It was only a couple hundred dollars more than the one i wanted and i didnt have to wait for it so i bought the 22. this pic gives...

    What do you tow your 80 with?

    2008 tundra and a 14k 22ft suretrac trailer. tows great, no complaints but i dont usually need much extra payload capacity either.

    couple videos of the sound, its louder in the video than in person since my phone is laying on the frame above the shock.

    Hard to believe its been 2 years since ive been out riding. Nothing new with the truck really, just re-welded a few cracked welds, tightened some bolts and went on a ride finally. Cant really complain about the ol lexus though, its been taking a beating for the last 12-13 years and hasnt...

    just a little update, ive been out on a few trips since working on the rear suspension and i can say without a doubt that it was a huge improvement over what i had. it is much more stable on off camber stuff and it tracks way better now. its much easier to keep on a line now that the control...

    the up travel is kind of deceiving since those factory bumps in the springs are so soft. they compress a lot before stopping and i dont have the hard rubber bumps mounted to the frame. they used to be a lot closer before i cut the back off the truck and its not noticeable at all when hitting...

    thanks! i researched til my head hurt trying to find springs that were pretty tall free height and didnt provide much lift. its next to impossible to know what will work on my truck without just trying them lol. i think these will work fine since i didnt really need to lower it, just kind...

    got the rear mostly done today, just need to adjust the pinion angle. pinion bridge actually gained an inch over the just the 863 springs but its basically the same height as the 863s and the spacer that was in there. i was hoping to end up an inch or so lower but it will work fine. at...

    Been busy with an engine swap and some other projects but got back around to workin on the truck a little. I dont have much free time and dont want miss any rides this fall so i decided not to totally redo the rear suspension right now. I swapped in some @TRAIL TAILOR upper and lower arms and...

    Power Steering Gear Box 105 Series Sector Shaft/Pitman Arm Upgrade

    I dont remember any special info that i had to pass on. I think maybe i called them to ask before i filled out the form and shipped mine. If i remember correctly, they told me just to put everything in the box and they would know what to do when they got it. I did remove my old pitman arm...

    Power Steering Gear Box 105 Series Sector Shaft/Pitman Arm Upgrade

    Yes i did. About as much as the whole wtor kit and rebuild. My sector shaft was twisted so i needed to replace it any way. If yours isnt twisted, i would think you would be fine with the stock 80 sector and hydro assist

    Power Steering Gear Box 105 Series Sector Shaft/Pitman Arm Upgrade

    i got the 105 sector shaft and a seal kit and sent it all to west texas off road. got it all back with a cylinder, hoses, and mounts for around $500 or so, kinda hard to beat for that money. it has worked very well even with 42s and a spool.
