    80 In The Snow - open vs viscous coupling center

    I appreciate y’all’s opinions…this thread did make me do some thinking and I will revive my Audi and give it purpose as a “winter beast”(winter beater?) It has been mothballed for a couple years because it was giving me too many headaches and was no longer my daily driver. But I can dump a chunk...

    80 In The Snow - open vs viscous coupling center

    Do you post on here telling people not to wheel their 80s…cause they might get trail damage if they do!! :rolleyes:

    80 In The Snow - open vs viscous coupling center

    Worth noting my AWD cars were “older” with less electro-wizardry going on with the drivetrain than modern AWD systems…the Audi was a 2001 allroad with mechanical Torsen helical-gear center diff and the WRX a 2002 bugeye with the Viscous Coupling. I agree I generally dislike electrical...

    I think she said something about finishing remodeling the bathroom and then I should definitely buy a project car…at least that’s what I took away from the conversation

    80 In The Snow - open vs viscous coupling center

    This is the type of feedback I was looking for, since you have experience with and without the VC. I agree a locked center is beneficial if you WANT to kick out the rear for cornering if feeling spicy and the road is all yours, but when sharing the road with others i would consider it to be a...

    80 In The Snow - open vs viscous coupling center

    Yes, you are right, there is definitely decision bias in choosing an 80. Ive long had a soft spot for the 80-series Land Cruiser. And Yes, you are right again. Money is involved to baseline/stage-0 ANY 80 series, whether turning your own wrenches or paying a shop. While the end objective is a...

    80 In The Snow - open vs viscous coupling center

    …Because I’m a car enthusiast and like projects…. And like many on this forum, I think 80s are a pretty cool platform Also the truck isn’t the best in the snow. It’s “light” in the rear, so in 2WD it kinda sucks. Since It’s part time 4WD, so I cant just leave it in 4WD when road conditions are...

    80 In The Snow - open vs viscous coupling center

    Go ahead and triple lock your rig up next time you’re in the snow. You can let me know how well that went from the ditch. Don’t worry though, my truck can get all locked up when I want to dance that way

    80 In The Snow - open vs viscous coupling center

    Can you clarify how either TC would result in snow performance better than the Audi or Subaru’s AWD system Yes, I’d prefer a newer model with 1FZ and disc brakes and ABS but they go for like 2-3x the price

    80 In The Snow - open vs viscous coupling center

    Damn I don’t know if I should feel attacked, or feel excited because you get me. Yes, I like extensively researching and over analyzing things sometimes

    80 In The Snow - open vs viscous coupling center

    Hi, I am hoping to be in the market for an 80 series in the next 6-or-so months. I plan to “stage 0” it (refresh engine, mechanical components, etc) then slap some Blizzaks on it, and daily it in the winter—paved roads covered in snow/slush/ice). I’m not really interested in offroading it…. So...
