Selling my LX450 I was building for an overland rig but have changed plans for
what I want to use for overlanding and this is the reason I'm selling this build.

It has been deflared and from the bottom window line down resprayed. Interior
is in great condition and yes both seats work.

If you work something out, make sure to include 100 series LC's. Been looking at Melvill & Moon covers for a long time. I was going to try to hunt some down on my trip to Europe this summer.

Nice 80 by the way. GLWS!
See what can be worked out because it's hard enough to have them make left hand drive covers for 80's as it is. You won't find them in Europe, they have to be ordered for US spec left hand drive LC and other vehicles. Plus they include a free spare tire cover with each set and they need that sizing also. Because of that, if I do bring them in will not include spare tire covers with sets. Thank you for the compliment on the LX450.

I contacted them twice, with no response. I really want a set. I'll probably go with escape gear in the mean time.
 
I'm vey impressed with your rig. I am new and seriously looking so I have a couple of newb questions. I have to get this in my garage and it is lifted higher than I think I want-this will be a daily driver as well as 4 wheeler. if I switch out your 5" lift for an OME 2.5" 1) How easy/costly is that ...roughly 2) Will those 315's fit if lowered onto the 2.5" OME kit and finally What is the current max ht at the top of the snorkel from the ground ....my garage is 81" clear (meaning that would be the rub point) so I would like no more than 77-78 max. Hoping if I lower this 2.5" with the OME it will be under that
Finally no sliders currently correct?
 
Thanks for your interest and a 2.5"-3" lift from OME is about $1000 for the parts and $600 - $800 labor.
From what I have read and seen most have been able to fit 315's in 80's with 2.5"-3" lifts. I'll have to
take measurments off of a non-lifted 80 that I have and calculate what the final hieght would be with
315's and a 2.5"-3" OME lift. Correct no rock sliders on this rig. We can do any of the work needed in
my shop if you also want this work done.

Yes 315s fit with the 2.5 lift and fit in my garage, now the 3 inch lift is pushing it. Here's my old setup.. 2.5 and 315s

Very nice rig there!!! Mine would work for his requirements with a 3" lift. I also have rmoved the rack from mine so that knocks off
another 2" off the top.

Wow are those rear seats original??? Very nice 80!
 
I wish somebody would hurry up and buy this, so I can stop thinking about it...

Arch, any info on when the knuckles were last serviced? Original birfs?

No known service history on knuckels or birfs but also nothing showing or telling me that they need any attention.
I wish someone would buy it before I change my mind again.

I have been seeing your rig on CL. It is too rich for my blood, but it sure is purdy. I see you have an LX450 and a Cherokee Chief... I have the same sickness and I dont think there is a known cure! Nice fleet! GLWS!
