looks good! can you post a few more pics on the front fender trimming you did?

here's a few. basically just cut what i needed out of the fender, then just cut the whole inner fender out.

Just as i suspected, the 41.5s are the perfect size for an 80. i knew when my 37s started looking stock i had a problem. great looking lx you have there. love the 41.5s, i get to treat myself for christmas.

i need to meet up with you guys in WV, i still cannot believe you havent wadded that thing up by now. i had more damage on my 80 after 5 trails than i did on my hilux after 5 years.

you definitely should. have a pretty good sized run coming up on oct 13-14.

theres more damage than the pics show but the tons have helped the body a lot because the tires stick out a good bit now.

Very Very interesting line....

 

[wv_lx450]

Yeah, its the only way up that ledge. The rock is undercut and taller than a 42 (hard to tell in the vid) so u have to run the pass side on the edge of the creek. And adding to that, no one had been up that section for over a year so the rocks were so slimy that you couldnt stand up on them.

 

[Wrench]

Good job. Were you driving? I'm confused why you don't drive.

 

[wv_lx450]

Yes, im driving in the second vid. My bro was in from out of state (air force) and i let him run the entrance of the waterfall trail on the first vid.

 

[Wrench]

Ok makes sense.

 

[Wrench]

So overall are you pleased on how it performed? Any carnage to report?

 

[wv_lx450]

very pleased with how it performed, tires are a huge improvement. i had never made that ledge in the second video before the 41.5's. also walked a couple other spots that usually give me a hard time. no carnage on this trip, maybe a dent or two.
still need to do a little more trimming on the passenger side front and rear but nothing major.

Is your bro new to wheeling? He did a good job on that water fall.
