I spoke to them last week and was well convinced to move on to their Titan Blackbox rather than wait for the landcruiser version. I think those waiting may never see the doubler come to fruition.I actually sent them an email a few days ago. Said it's still in the works, but no ETA yet
That would be great, I cannot wait for it to hit the market. Marlin's gears and 5.29's aren't terrible, but they aren't great either.
Found a pic from when I did the chop.

My conversation with Kris sounded like although development of the 80 series black box is "in the works" it's not something that is even near the front of their to do list.Yeah, I haven't driven a truck with the Marlin gears but the gear reduction you get seems too little for the price you pay. I'm gonna hold out as long as I can.
Thanks for the pics! That makes it much clearer now. I think I may still go the traditional slider route attached to the frame as I'll eventually do an exo and the sliders will help secure the cage overall.
Yup
What made you say that? They made one for the FJ60s, I'd say it's only a matter of time they make one for the 80s.
Today I finished the rocker chop on the driver's side. Went pretty quick. Used a grinder with 4.5" cutting discs and a sawzall for the pillars. I think I'm going to cap off the entire rocker area with steel plate then build my sliders underneath. I still want a slider attached to the frame as I'll be making some fender railing that will attach to the sliders and eventually an exo cage. So I need something tied to the frame instead of just welding the sliders to the rocker.
Loving the difference in clearance. It's really impressive when you see how much room there is under the doors now. So far I rolled the lip back under the rocker and it looks pretty good. I may just leave it like this as it looks quite finished.
Big difference
From the ground to the bottom of the door sill now is 30"!!!
And here's what it looks like after you cut everything away. I'll be sealing this back up, maybe with some 3/16" plate

What's your plan for the rear geometry? Started on that yet?
I have some 2x5 .188 on my side yard so I will be watching closely...
out of no where question .
how do you like your winch ? any disappointmet?
What did that stick cost you out west?
About $170 for a 20' stick. Going to use the left over for the rear bumper I plan on building along with the rear quarter chop.
How much does that weigh? Prime stock?
