Last two for the porn session!

Down to little parts now, need some more of those too. They been ordered. Probably bolt some more of that on over the weekend, parts and hardware depending. Such a sexy engine, I think I like it more than the FTE long block Johns 80 got! Maybe I am just bias since we are building this one from the short block up and every single nut, bolt, crush washer, clamp, ect is BRAND NEW!

So essentially the 80 and 70-series coil designs are the same. A few pretty major differences though.

First the 80.

And now for the 79

Almost exactly 2" taller are the 80 springs compared with the 79. Other than that, all pretty much the same suspension wise till the DPF 79s got different radius arms in late 2016.

Looking great tho, following with interest

80 coils are taller? Are they the same diameter?

What’s a “DPF” 79? In didn’t realize they changed the radius arms in 2016… whats
different?

I don't want to hijack the thread but yes 80 coils and shocks are 2" taller than the 79. They are not the same diameter either, 80 coils are significantly larger in diameter.

DPF stands for Diesel Particulate Filter, which is an emissions requirement on all diesels sold now. Radius arms have a bend in them to make room for the DPF.

79 series DPF radius arms: (battery on ph too low to use flash)

They also had to go for a 5-Star ANCAP crash rating for the mines to continue using them - MY17 and newer got a lot of revisions, especially the single cab. Traction control/ESP, revisions to the chassis etc. along with the DPF, H152 gearbox and interior updates.

Pardon my ignorance, but why is this designed this way? It’s been bugging me and had to ask.

You would need to ask a Toyota engineer.

Tossed some OME 861/862’s in it now that most of the mounts are made. Ya know, everything up to now has been where we estimate ride height to be.
