    '97 LX450 approximate value?

    Good point on the countless hours spent on the 80 over the last 10 years and the number of hours I would spend building up a new rig even tho that is part of the fun. As far as space goes, the 100 is a little bigger and the 3rd row has more room. I recently "Brady Bunched" my life so went from...

    '97 LX450 approximate value?

    Realized it's been a while since I updated my sig. The Ram was a company truck and I no longer work for that company. The Lex GS DD is not so good at towing or wheelin'!

    HA! Oh, there are plenty of places I have wheeled the 80 that I know the 100 would have issues or just flat out not be able to make it. Wish I could make it but too much work to do!

    '97 LX450 approximate value?

    Valid point on someone low balling in hopes of scoring a nice deal! LOL. Usually think of Craiglslist as being the same. I'll keep researching to see what it might bring but will be able to wait for the right buyer. Not in a hurry. Looks like we're running similar rigs!

    Jasper Trail by Vistataco posted Jan 2, 2018 at 2:05 PMWell... thinking about making the jump to 100 Series. Looking to get more room for family and to tow small travel trailer. I figure a built 100 series should be able to do about 70% of what my 80 can do off road and that will be good enough...

    HELP - Rear end binding in Reverse

    Well... Looks like it was the front caliper lost the top bolt and would bind when rolling in reverse. So now the shopping list just includes the locker actuator and caliper bolt. ...that was a rough day. :wrench:

    HELP - Rear end binding in Reverse

    OK, here is what I am dealing with... I was cruising along across a desert wash at about 35mph and kicked up a rather large rock with the front tire that flew back and directly impacted the rear diff actuator assembly. It bent the assembly back into the spring perch and cracked the mounting...

    Got it all back together with just some additonal electrical needed but you get the idea.

    The snorkel is an addition post accident. I had ordered it before the accident and received it after. Cut all the holes in fender before taking it in for paint.

    Safari Snorkel Fender Bolts

    Well at least I'm not the only one here that was having an issue with this. I guess i just need to lotion up my arm so it slides nicely into the hole.

    Safari Snorkel Fender Bolts

    Alright, maybe my hands and arms are too big but how the F do you install and tighten the nuts on the 2 studs closest to the door? I cant get in thru the air intake hole or from the gap in front of the door. Am I missing something here?

    The way I drive this thing I cant be too concerned about resale value. :grinpimp: As far as more bumper pics...here you go:

    That basically is a butchered FJ bumper skin covering an internal tube bumper.

    Well, pictures never do it justice but here they are. Taken at night with my phone. The other thing that the pics dont show is the roof and driver side body panels are rippled as well.
