You forgot to list your 4.88’s - at least going off your sig line.

Also, are the TC gears the ones that just reduce LO range, or the ones that reduce both HI & LO, so you put 4.11’s back in (and reason the 4.88’s didn’t make the ad)?

Not asking for myself, just saw your ad & thought I’d ask. I’ve about got overall the same setup in my black 80 (no TC gears tho).

Sounds like alot of value in a turn-key rig for someone who’s looking to buy a trail-ready setup.

How is this for daily/hwy driving? I don't understand how all th re-gearing works.

4.88’s - perfect gears to compensate for ~35” tires.

Or, if you do the HI/LO gears in the transfer case (TC in my posts) - they do the same for 4.11’s /stock R&P to 35” / 315/75R16’s (really a 34.5”, but splitting hairs).

As a variant, a guy :::could::: just do the TC gear package that drops LO range, and let the HI range be sluggish in town to favor MPG’s & RPM issues on freeway speeds.
Same vehicle could run the stock 4.11’s & be sluggish in-town but fine on the freeway, then when in LO range in the TC on trails it would be exactly like my 4.88’s R&P setup with 35” tires.

Having both 4.88’s & even just LO range 3:1 TC gears would be awesome for crawler setups, having both HI & LO TC gears & 4.88’s would best be suited to going to 37” tires, which a Slee 4” will fit.
That’s from experience as I have the Slee 4” heavy front & 4” heavy progressive rear - I keep 315’s to flex the rear but if I dropped my FR swaybar I could run 37’s if I wanted.

Seller’s rig gives options to buyer as to any 35” or 37” tire they choose to run - I also keep my 315’s /34.5” tires since I’m still stock in my TC.

HTH, I’m unbiased as I set up my 80 & IDK the seller here - but he set his up to be mainly “futureproof” for 37’s if you choose to go that far, or be a great crawler on 35’s. :::: That’s my $.06 (inflation, mang) ::::

actually it still has the 4:11's...the sig line is from my other cruiser..lol. after doing the transfer case gears (low range) I left the 4:11's to keep some good freeway speeds though 4:88's would be a great choice.

as a daily driver it is excellent. I commute in it sometimes, and have taken it on 1000+ mile road trips. it's an 80...they are sweet on the highway. it really is the best of both worlds.

Thanks for the update. Would you like to trade for a 2003 4Runner with a couple rust holes in the frame? LOL!! I hope something like this will be available when I get the cash together. GLWS.

 

[Andy Hupp]

Just a quick note for anyone thinking about this 80. I know the owner and the vehicle, and they're both very trustworthy. If you're looking for a great super capable 80, then you can't go wrong with this one.

Seriously? Why even waste someone's time ....

Pretty sure he was joking.

I keep coming back to this one.... I may call you tomorrow. Nice rig.

feel free to call. lets talk about it. I had one guy threatening to fly out from New York to get it! lol.... long drive back but like I said; I personally would not hesitate. It has never let me down. it's a fantastic rig.

 

[Daurie]

Yeah that’s probably what I’d do. Not quite New York far but it’s a good haul back to Memphis.

 

[VETTE60]

couple interested parties but nothing solid yet..

still available, taking offers

I really wish you weren't on the complete opposite side of the Country or that I still lived in California. That's a nice rig!
