    Marks 4wd in Aus.

    Is this on backwards?

    Some shocks are direction/orientation specific b/c of they are mounted vertically (or close to it). It would seem that steering stabilizers are bi-direction (mount wise) because they are mounted horizontally. I have to agree with mac's post and having the outer sleeve "empty downhill".

    Caster Correction Help

    You could also buy an angle finder at most any hardware store and stick it on top of your axle somewhere that the magnetic base will get some good purchase. Ideally you can find a spot on top of the steering knuckle but I suppose the bracket where the radius/control arms attach would work as...

    fj80 with duramax @ nv4500 Q ??

    if you go with the nv4500 you can use a stock split case from a 60 series and go with part time 4wd. Call Proffitts cruisers, the last time I talked to them they were getting ready to do this exact swap on an 80.

    Official intro and some ??'s

    There are some vibrations but what is more concerning is the noises I hear coming from the passenger front floor area. I was originally thinking it was the u-joint in the front DS since it is a stock shaft. The pinion on the diff. is pointing toward, perhaps even a little above the t-case...

    Official intro and some ??'s

    Well I figure since I finally have a LC that runs and drives I should actually introduce myself. I got hooked on mud a few years back when I picked up an '84 fj60. The plan was to swap a diesel in to it and use it for expeditions/camping/exploring. The more I read on this and some other forums...

    Beefed up my rear control arms

    Definitely stronger then stock and as stated earlier they should slide over stuff nicely. I think they look pretty good and you shouldn't have any problems with them bending in the future.

    Beefed up my rear control arms

    I believe the angle iron method is stronger because you get a greater moment of inertia by having a "taller" cross section about the bending axis..... you know I=b(h^3)/12, granted this is for a rectangular cross section but the principle should still apply.

    Has anybody swapped a 4bt/H55/splitcase yet

    Hey guys, I searched and searched but I have not found anyone that has actually swapped a 4bt/h55/splitcase into an 80 yet. I am working on this combo swap into a 60 right now, but for what I am going to be doing (mostly expedition type trips) I an 80 suits me needs better. Just looking for info...
