OK folks, so there is a project I've been working on in the background and I'm getting to that point where I need to get some input and of course it will help out the community here as well. After the success of my switch re-label thread and I figured it would be time for the next thing.
Now realize ahead of time that part of this is self serving. I am working on a project that is geared toward my own product line...that I have yet to announce
...but I have decided to gear it more to help all 80 series owners which means I will be including far more than just what I am developing. I'll have more info on that coming soon.
In the meantime there is a major component that I need the 80 community to assist me with and it can then also remain its own thread, similar in vain to the "Best Under $100 Mod" thread. What I am looking to warehouse are all of the "did you know?" nuggets of info. I am intending on having a different "did you know?" nugget of info on every other page on the project I am working on.
I will be doing the majority of the writing and all of the drawings. Links are 100% useful both to me but also to the community. I am specifically looking for information that someone who is NOT a LandCruiser expert would need to know or find extremely interesting or useful.
I will be posting up each nugget of info as I draw them up so that there can be a single source of "UhDuh" information for the newbies. Basically I want a cheat sheet for someone who just bought an 80 series where all of this kind of stuff is all in one place because right now you have to hunt like mad on this forum to find the nuggets of info. I want to remedy that.
Attached is what I have been doing. These are the collection of just what I have so far so you can get an idea of what I'm thinking will best benefit the 80 community. Any and all suggestions are helpful but not all will make it into my side project.
Edit: I changed the format to give me better options for displaying the info. Here are two I just created. All of the text and links still needs to be verified.
