My 80 series journey like most is a long and expensive one, but after bending my front factory axle in Pismo I finally got a new Diamond Axle housing under her thanks to the very talented and professional team @kibbetech.
My rig has seen its far share of mods, but as she sits now, here are the essentials;
- Triangulated 4 link rear
- Custom Gas tank
- 3-link front on a now Diamond axle
- Front Suspension 14" Fox 2.5 DSC Coilovers
- Rear Suspension 16" Fox 2.5 DSC Coilovers
- Full interior Cage with Racing seats and harness
- Bumpers/Sliders Custom
- Dual Battery relocation to the rear
- 40" rubber on TG Beadlocks
The process of recreating the tabs, mounts, etc. on the new Diamond axle was not easy, but these guys made it look super straight forward. Cycled everything to make sure bumpstops were engaging properly and all the downward and upward travel was being utilized. She is getting a few more changes until she comes home and hopefully hits the trail again after a dry spell of 6 years due to wife and kid excuses.
Next will be a TURBO via @NLXTACY , but of course I'm going to have to mess with that too
