Built to the Hilt FJ80 Suspension (1 Viewer)

I am in Orange County, S L.A. County. I do not drive mine during the week so you can test the crap out of it if you want. It is stock right now. Let me know??

I too am watching this with great interest as my Hellfire knuckles are on the way.

I will save the token offering of my rig since it appears 500 others have beat me to it. Damn Slo-ness.

I am looking forward to seeing how this turns out. I will be running one of the 4WU links on my 4Runner when the time comes and if the price point of the 80 brackets is similar, then I would appreciate the adjustability that the CO's would allow.

Plus his stuff is just plain Bad A** and his work is beautiful.

. By the way how much room (tape measure if you'd be that kind) between the bed and top of dif?

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I have almost 14" from the top of the diff to the underside of my bed. I am sitting on roughly 5.5" of lift (4.5" w/springs & 1" body lift).

Do you have anymore pictures of that gas tank and how close it is the rear axle?

 

[4WheelUnderground]

Does anyone have a pic of how close the gas tank is to the rear axle. Just tying to figure out if a 4link is doable?

Here's some

 

[4WheelUnderground]

Thank you very much. So the tank is about 1' in front of the axle?

 

[busmup808]

If you look at the last picture, the axle is on the left and right is the tank. The upper control arm ends just before the tank.

 

[4WheelUnderground]

Yep, that was the pic I was looking at most. Thank you very much.

I don't think a double triangulated 4 link will work with the gas tank location. Assuming that is what you were planning.

Is the bottom of the gas tank above or below the bottom of the frame?

 

[jynx]

Mine sits almost dead flush with the bottom of the rail.

 

[4WheelUnderground]

So I may have to raise the tank an inch.

The tank is attached to the body via straps so if one were to install a 1" or more body lift you could have the clearance you're looking for. I can confirm later this morning but with the 1" BL on mine I recall the gas tank protector being flush with the bottom of the frame.

EDIT:

Sorry for the delay, life happens. Just to confirm, the 1" body lift will get the bottom of the gas tank cover flush with the bottom of the frame. I don't have any pics available.

Where are you located? NorCal? I can offer mine, I'll drive up there and fly home.

Here is my run to the local mall.

Thats very nice to know, thank you. Also, I love your sig.

Is that with any body lift?

 

[jynx]

That picture is with NO body lift. Body on frame.

Here you go. A couple more







The gap you see is between a 1/2" and 3/4"
