Hey guys!
I remember when I was shopping for my first LC that the 80 guys loved their solid axles over the 100 guys. I needed more highway power and road worthiness at the time and got a 2003 100 (5 speed automatic) as it was my daily but now I have space for a toy. I'm looking at the following 80 on BAT:
It would be an overland rig build eventually and the only upgrades I know I'd want are the BP51 suspension and more power. This is a manual transmission and carbureted. Questions:
Could I still add a turbo kit for more power or would I need a different engine?
What would be the ideal "Premium" build?
What rack?
What fender flares?
What else to do with suspension and lockers etc?
What to do with the power plant?
Thanks!
Best-
Don
