I went under there in the video but can try and get some additional shots if you need them. PO had her in California most of her life so it’s significantly better than a northern rig though not perfect.
Also, I pulled the roof rack planning to go the bowfin route. Prob should have waited… Filled with silicone, rubber washers and bolts for now but I will get those filled and painted if i keep or do the BAT route.
Antenna:
It works well but I mostly stream so can’t guarantee great FM (its good enough the few times I’ve used it).
As far as keeping vs selling, I decided to delay the Rivian when they called me in Dec for my first delivery date but they’ve come back to me now so I’ve got a decision to...
I’d call it 22 in the back and 22 1/2 in the front- so 2” lift basically?
Forgot to mention there was a spacer with the OMEs in the front that we left on with the dobinsons. I’ll check with Drake, assume they were 1/2”. May actually remove the spacers next time it makes sense to risk death...
Wanted to report some quick thoughts on some suspension changes I’ve made over the past few months.
I purchased this 80 with an arb bull bar and a 12k winch as well as dual batteries. It was kitted with the OME heavies all around and sat 39” to the rear wheel well and 38.5 to the front wheel...
Have some OME 850/863 springs off my FZJ80. Switched to lower Dobinsons because my dog is lazy and I spend 98% of my time on pavement unfortunately. Pickup in Lawrence.

Needed a lower solution so switched out the OME 850/863 setup that came on my FZJ80. I believe these were marketed as 3” lift from stock. Originally installed in 2004 but Good condition, everything worked great when I pulled them. Pickup in Lawrence, KS or could ship at your cost but they’re...
Sorry fellas work and kid stuff has been nuts, should have waited to post this. I’ll wash her and get a video made this weekend and try to get through the dms
It’s time to think about what to do with my Cruiser when the new Rivian arrives next month.
I’ve debated keeping her and may still but feel that I just won’t drive it enough to keep the mechanicals moving and it’s just in too nice of condition to be a full time wheeler (not that I have time to...
Thanks LP, I tried using it as a shim for the tire carrier first. Here she is all mounted up, need to clean it up quite a bit but figured I’d post a progress pic. Waiting for Simon to send the missing jerry can holder but very impressed with the quality and fit!
Thanks to wakesetter for...
OK talked to Simon they’re setting me up with the missing parts, great customer service from 4x4L.
I should have asked him on the phone but does anyone know where this goes:
What are people doing with the exhaust on these- i cut it off before the silencer to get the bumper on and am now trying to figure out if i do all new cat back (or hell cat delete) or just add a short tailpipe going out the passenger side behind the rear tire.
Got mine cut and mounted. A couple things for any other novice looking to do this:
1. The measurements from frame attachment leave plenty of room at least in a 96. We decided to go 2 7/8 and then angle the bottom and it worked well. YMMV obviously but just know there’s plenty of room inside...
I’ve been in love with the Slee shortbus bumper since they came out and have finally decided to make the swap. Is anyone fairly local (I’m in Eastern KS) interested in a ~10 year old ARB front bumper with Warn M12000 winch? Would drive to Colorado if anyone up there is interested as well.
