    SOLD 1997 80 Series Triple Locked, deflared, 35's and 4.88's

    thanks. I can't quite remember the tuffy box model I used for the console. I built a stand to hold up the back end, got some paint mixed up to match the brown And had the upholstery shop sew up some leather for the arm rest. E brake handle is still in original location. Really nice to have cup...

    Builds 1FZFE overhaul

    Awesome thread. About 2 months ago I pulled my engine for a rebuild/refresh. I had low compression and was blowing blue smoke. I probably read through this thread several (more like 10) times. I really appreciate how you shared the pitfalls you encountered. Once I tore mine apart all internal...

    Oil pump gear spins freely on crankshaft?

    A question for the group- I'm in the process of pulling my 97 80 series engine apart for a rebuild. Before I pulled the crankshaft out I noticed something that I thought was strange. Once the timing cover is off the crankshaft has (from front to back) a timing chain gear, rotor "gear" read by...

    ABS Delete 50mph-0mph test before and after (with video)

    I completely agree with the ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure is 10X more important. I have been daily driving my LC for four years. It's an easy ten minute commute. Thankfully, I have only had one instance I would consider a close call. In that situation I probably could have been a...

    ABS QUESTIONS

    I have always wondered about tire size affecting the ABS system. Maybe someone with more knowledge or experience can chime in on this. The sprockets on each hub that are read by the magnets are clearly always going to be a fixed size. They are set up for factory tires. Once larger tires are put...

    ABS Delete 50mph-0mph test before and after (with video)

    I would have to agree that my original post was simply a way to share my particular results. I don't think it can be looked at as hard data. There are way to many pieces that would need to be in prime working condition to really compare my original ABS set up to my deleted ABS set up. My 80 has...

    ABS Delete 50mph-0mph test before and after (with video)

    I have two buddies with 80's that drove mine around the block. They both are ready to pull the ABS on their 80's. I'll try pulling the fuse or unplugging the system and run a test to see if that has the same result.

    I've never heard any clicking, but I could definitely feel the ABS holding the tires back from lock up. The pedal was firm but not to the floor. It felt like they were holding back too much.

    It sounds like your ABS brake system is working at the highest level possible. Mine was not maintained as well as yours. It would be great to have some results of a 50 to 0 test on an 80 series that is similar in size and very well maintained.
