    Wits End Turbo Owners

    Going to bump this again. I see the Wits End instagram account is active and posting. Perhaps someone else is managing it? Perhaps some resources could be allocated towards dealing with unfulfilled customer orders! I have never encountered an issue like this with any other business in person or...

    Wits End Turbo Owners

    So I’m not a turbo owner, but I placed a $550 order for brake parts and other stuff on 3/3/23. I have tried every method of contact and had zero response. I will never do business with Wits End again. I don’t mind a wait if I am at least acknowledged. I had a seized caliper on my 80 and needed...

    The Monstalined 80's thread

    I used some adhesion promoter but honestly I don’t think it did anything. If I did it again I would just “send it.” As long as you scuff up this stuff sticks like mad.

    Headers on 1FZ-FE engine 1997 Landcruiser

    I did not intend "modest gain in feel" to come across as any sort of performance claim. I also dont think the difference going to 5.29s made much of a difference either. Nor did 37s. It "felt" different. Modestly better....

    Headers on 1FZ-FE engine 1997 Landcruiser

    Still going strong. No cracking or ridiculous rust. And 1/2 of the pipes are wrapped and the other 1/2 unwrapped (partially an experiment to see how they held up and partially me being lazy). There was a modest gain in feel and that got a little better as well once i swapped in one of the...

    As of right now? I havent settled on any particular lift. Running the OME medium lift the PO installed plus caster plates. Within two weeks of the new baby our AC went out and a laptop died so the discretionary fund took a hit. When i can afford it again something in the 3" range. I arrived...

    New baby is keeping our hands full lately. Haven’t had much time for projects. Got my drivers side fender trimmed back 2.5”. Pizza cut the inner fender and pushed out of the way. I left some tabs on the fender thinking I might fit some kind of plastic to keep mud/water out but this will have to...

    Leaking valve guide seals?

    How many miles on the engine? My PHH blew and before I knew it my head was off 😱. My engine was at 190ish. Wasn’t burning quite as much oil as you but not too far off. I did the head gasket and everything else I possibly could at the same time. Was worth my peace of mind and I burn basically...

    Compact Impact Wrench for 80 Work?

    m18 3/8 and 1/2 impact I just picked up the 1/2 mid torque recently. Decently compact for the power. Not as handy as the 90deg wrench but I’ve got a ratchet for that. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Power-Tools/Fastening/Impact-Wrenches/2861-20

    Don’t be afraid of it. You’d be shocked at how hard it is to miss to the casual observer.

    Events/Trails 80s on the Ershim

    Nothing like impending immolation to up the pucker factor! Cyalume factor 2x (Number of chem lights one can crack with ass cheeks).

    What gear ratio should you choose for your Re-Gear

    5.29’s and 37’s are doing great for daily driving. About 2700 at 70 by the eyeball. Just got my 500mi break in taken care of so will be wheeling before too long and will update.

    LX450 Oak Ignition / Key Trim Part Number Please

    I got a gray one recently. It’s not too far off.

    Monstaliner Help

    I went desert sand as it’s closest to beige metallic. Very happy with how it looks without needing to paint the door jambs.

    Official 37" and up picture thread

    One of the biggest surprises I had. I have heard and read that there would be a performance drop but I think that is overstated.

    Harrop E-Locker using OEM Switch and Dash Lights in a HDJ81 / FJ80

    Would you look at that....PASSENGER side. And OP says so plain and clear in his first post. I’m glad that I could add to the body of knowledge here at least that there is no locker ECU pigtail on the DRIVER side:bang:

    Harrop E-Locker using OEM Switch and Dash Lights in a HDJ81 / FJ80

    I’m having a real hard time tracking down the locker ECU pigtail. I meant to post in this thread yesterday but accidentally posted in one of the many related threads I have open in other windows :doh:. I must have been through them all by now... I am trying to wire f/r Eaton lockers in using...

    OEM Locker Wiring Harness Options

    Wiring in Harrops and trying to use the factory switch on my lx450. Found the dash switch pigtail no problem. I can’t find extra pigtail floating around in here for the locker ecu. Is that what the transmission relay is plugged in to? The image from the OP shows a nice gray plug that looks...

    Thanks great info! I’m pretty much pavement bound right now waiting for our 2nd to be born. I don’t plan on wheeling until I get things situated vehicular....ly and with the family. Going to be three months or so probably before I get a chance. So plenty of time to get it right!

    Slowly taking things apart. Probably going to need to address these little issues :eek: I think I’ll replace that bent swaybar link with an extended model. If I go with a 4” will that cause issues if I end up with 3” of lift in the rear? The LCA will get cut sleeved with DOM at some point...
