5in lift (with pics)

[Jeff80]

Hey guys,
Here are some pics of my 80 with a 5 inch lift. Been out a few times and found it to have awesome articulation. (PS If I stuff up the pics, sorry in advance, Im a pic virgin...)

 

[Jeff80]

Sorry, looks like I stuffed that up...

Dude, that's nice! When did you install the lift?

 

[Jeff80]

A few weeks ago, but due to work comitments, havent been able to get out and test it.

 

[notyourmomslx450]

what kind of lift is it? details, man, details! Looks awesome, too.

 

[Jeff80]

Its Dobinsons 5" lift, available here in OZ. Ive used OME Race shocks, ( Offroad use only, no warranty and 5 inch travel ) adjustable panhards F/R and rather than getting the castor plates, going to roll my diff shortly, to bring it back to Toyota original castor specs...

Looks great!

Jeff, what is the black strip in your raingutter running from the rear to the front rack mount? Is that just a rubber gasket to prevent scarring or is it a metal "foot" to distribute weight?

Oh man, I love those tires . Too bad we don't get them around here. How are those tire working out for you? I forget the type of side walls they have, is it bios ply or radial? Lift looks sweet BTW

 

[Jeff80]

Yeah, its a metal foot to distribute weight.

 

[Jeff80]

They are Simex ET 35x11.5x16. 6 Ply side walls, Bias ply. Almost up for a new set though!

Cool - I linked your thread over to this https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=97105 thread. One of the guys up in California was inquiring about rain gutter strength.

Outstanding!

How do you like that RTC Steering Damper? How does the rig drive without and caster correction?

Are the rear air bags part of the lift? or something you added?

Not to Hi-jack but is that a Kaymar rear bumper? Or something else?

I really need to get to Australia and check it out!

Nice lift. Looks like ROTW potential. Good job!

 

[PKP80]

Nice....definitely interested in an ROTW for your rig, as soon as you learn how to do the pic thing.

Looks mean! love the Symex tires

Sorry, but I have to Hijack:
Are those fenders aftermarket? I am looking for similar fenders for a 97 Prado, can you point me in the right direction?
