Has anyone found a common aftermarket polyurethane panhard bar bushing that easily adapts to the 80 series? Energy suspension doesn't list anything but I figure they should have something close to it.

Ironman makes a set Suspension Arm Bushing Kit With Standard Radius Arm Bushings Suited For Toyota 80 Series Land Cruiser - https://ironman4x4america.com/toyota-80-series-land-cruiser-suspension-arm-bushing-kit-with-standard-radius-arm-bushings/
But the oem ones are good and inexpensive.

Yeah man, you have a solution looking for a problem. OEM bushings vs poly has been discussed quite a few times and always with the same result: poly = poor performance and shorter life than OEM.

Ironman track bars are what I have and the bushings are absolute s***.

I am basically just looking for something tough that I won't have to think about again for a really long time. I'm not concerned with ride quality and stuff like that which is why I figured people insist on OEM. If they're the strongest option then that's what I might have to do. I just hate going to the Toyota dealer for parts.

I have an extra set of OEM rear panhard bushings if you’re interested.
So don't. I ordered all new suspension bushings online from a vendor I trust. Genuine Toyota parts. Showed up in Toyota packaging with correct part nunbers.
There's this new thing called "the internet". You should check it out. All the kids are doing it now.
I always give my local stealership a call when I'm pricing parts. If they are the same price as what I'm buying including the shipping, I buy from them. If they are totally out of line with the price I tell them I'm buying from someone else and what I'm paying. They haven't budged on thier quoted price yet, but I feel they should know why they are losing the business.
Me too.
Just finished doing all of mine. Not as bad of a job as I thought it would be. Got OEM from Megazip. Still not cheap. Local labor for press work was just over $200. So glad I didn't bother buying a press

And I’m glad if anybody is going to make a couple dimes on the deal, it‘s Joey.
I may order a extra set ‘just cuz’ @NLXTACY - call me clairvoyant but a certain Nightshadow 80 close to entering the fam/will prob be my sister’s new rig to replace her CRV ::shudder:: .
She doesn’t do alot of DD miles, so a 80 makes sense & her bro has a couple days underhood, or so I hear

Hełłz, even more reason to buy from you - vendors who ’fess up’ on profit margins aren’t a dying breed - they flat are gone save you.
I’ll be buggin’ ya on those bushes when we add the blue one for my sis.
I wanted it for literally a decade, but I have too much labor in my black 80.
