His neighbors are gonna really dig this buildA Honda/Yamaha 2000w generator and a big boom box and you'll vibe your work away in no time. Then be well positioned to provide the NorCal crew with espressos and cappas via your Export. That's what I would do.

Cam-What are your plans for the e-brake, and particularly the cable? Looking at my 80 axle, the 60 e brake won't quite do it.
I'm fairly certain the LSPV is the only proportioning valve on a non-abs 80s. Can't speak to the later abs rigs, but my 91 that I swapped the FF into only has the LSPV.

The 80 cable will attach to the 60 handle. It is a few inches longer, so you'll have to take a less direct route back to the axle to take up the slack (not sure if it can be shortened).

I just snakes mine into kind of an "S" shape. There is a loop mount that is cast around the cable about mid-way (Big "O" with a grommet) that bolted to one of the rear crossmembers.
I'll crawl under my rig and take a picture tonight if you want, but it should be pretty straight forwards.

Cool, no pic necessary. Do the FF's ebrake have any sort of adjustment at the drums, or just at the handle? Our LX450's ebrake kinda sucked, but I never tried to adjust it.

There is a star adjuster inside the drum. Total pia
the FF star adjuster doesn't self-adjust like in the drums so you have to manually adjust the star in order to maintain the proper clearance as the pads wear. Most folks don't and it will work til the shoes wear, then it can't reach and won't hold without the manual adjustment. as @Cruiserdrew said, total PITA
Thrice: Total PITA and thinking the Toyota engineers got it to "good enough" and gave up in desperation

So what is sad, is the 60 series rear e-brake is excellent in every way. Solid, powerful, self adjusting-nothing not to like unless the bellcranks rust up in rusty areas-but that takes decades. They took a big step back in the 80 series and apparently, the 100.

We were placed under a Cat5 Winter Weather Advisory with a 90% likelihood of death and destruction. Unfortunately, the storm fizzled before it hit us, so I'm at "work" (more like an adult daycare center) today.
Dusting of snow on the boneyard...
Was wondering how you faired over that way. That death and destruction hit Nashville square between the eyes about 6:30 this morning and hasn't showed any signs of letting up. Its been snowing out our way for about 3 hours now. Got about an inch and a half on the ground here and they are saying 6"+ wouldn't be out of the question for the metro area. Stay toasty.
since you going to rear disk setup in the future...right? Think you would want to mirror the MC from the FJ80 that is non ABS but is 4wheel disk.
Potentially proportion valve if needed not LSPV. I believe the LSPV is reactive to weight and you might not want to introduce that into the equation.

Don't worry about the LSPV. It is a piece of s*** anyway.
I do agree on the MC from a non-ABS setup.

all "we's" got is rain and more rain at this point..... build looking good...of course I expect the truck to go off-road every now and then when complete

So is there such a beast as a non-abs 4 wheel disc master?

That's the plan! Just like the motor swap - minimal test driving, then straight to a 5,000 mile cross country trip with some wheeling in the middle
(serious wheeling this time)

I got my new drag link in last night. 4x4 Labs took so long to get back to me that I started looking around - it turns out that ***** **** stocks a 1-1/4" rod w/80 series tie rod end threads that was only 1/4" shorter than what I was going to order. Hate to have to use them, but it was too convenient. I ordered through Summit to launder the parts and get free shipping.
As beno noticed in a pic, my tie rod has a bow, so I've got two spares on the way.
When I was putting the steering box on, I noticed that the sector shaft splines have a slight twist
, so I've got a spare box on the way. The box from the donor 80 had junkyard-esq markings on it, which make sense since the truck showed no signs of a collision or having ever been wheeled.
I'll save the bad box for a future 105 sector shaft rebuild. (waaay in the future).

I was thinking... if anyone from the future is reading this because they decided to have a go at the swap, it would be a genius idea to put the caster correction plates/bushings/Slee arms on the front axle before weldering in the upper spring buckets/ shock mounts. Hopefully I'll have figured out what is needed by then.
