My 80 addiction has started

[Crazycruiser45L]

I have been lurking on this forum since i got my 94 LC in oct 2011. I got lucky and found my truck with 84,000 miles on it, 3X locked and only 5 miles from my house. I love this truck. I have put 10,000 miles on it already and have done a few things. Right away I did all the fluids F&R diff, t-case, trans, P/S ect. I also new my birfs need attention so I replaced all the front axle and birf seals. My birf is still clicking though so I have to go in there again and replace it (not sure with what yet).

Now for the fun stuff. I did the pin 7 mod (which is awesome). I bought a set of 4 Mickey thompson 16" classic lock wheels and 5 285 Duratracs. i powder coated one stock wheel for a spare. I love these tires. They were great in the winter, are very quite, and a pretty aggressive tread pattern. I also installed a TJM 50 mm lift with progressive springs and tiger adj. shocks. The kit fit great and increased my front end by 3" and rear by 3 1/4". I couldn't be happier with the ride on the street. It soaks up bumps really nice. I haven't had a chance to take it wheelin yet because I'm nervous of my clicking birf's. I have it in 2wd right now until I decide on what birfs to get.

Here's a couple pics of my rig:

Before TJM Lift

After

Sorry not the greatest pics. It def looks a lot taller in person. I'll have better pics soon once I take it to the trails.
My dog loves it back there

Welcome. Sounds like a great find! That Land Cruiser looks a bit out of place in that garage though...

Yeah I know. its at my work where I put the susp. on.

That's a big dog.

He still has so much room back there though. Its mostly a lot of fluff.

Yeah I'm amazed how good they are.

I found it at a Acura dealership and they didnt have a clue about it. i pretty much told myself if it was locked i was going to buy it but they didnt know what that was i got a really good deal. The leather is almost perfect inside too

Were about 20 min northwest of chicago. The shop is called Fall-Line Motorsports. You can watch are cars on Speedtv. We race in the Continetal Race series in the GS class and also do a lot of scca/Nasa clubracing.
