post#20 - My goal is the Slee4 w/ 35 MTR's and 4.88's.
Well thanks to Inverness & Clownmidget, we have been hard at work doing up the Slee lifts! Rick is further along and ready to test the system! I am on hold because of bo'd Bilstein shocks. So i'm writing this post instead...
Inverness and I are doing duplicate lifts.
A BIG concern for me was getting worthy travel but quality control as well. The 7100s fit the bill it seems they were the only ones to fall into the correct specs. I was really considering FOX but specs were off. We all designed and made our own shock mounts which turned out awesome- can't wait to get it on mine.
I also got TOYO MT's 315/75-16. They are nice but I think louder than MTR's, I'll see how they do on the trail.
Thanks to Big Moose, we also got some control arm issues and other Cruiser related stuff taken care of as well.
Since I am a couple weeks away from completion, I'll update with all the details as I wrap it up.
Check here also for Inverness' pics as we go

I read that Toyota sells the phh and hardline as one unit and if that's true, I would order that and use it. It all made sense to me after I read that. I think @pinhead wrote a good method. This was not a difficult job. It's fiddly, but doesn't take much time. It would be a huge pain if you...

PHH some other fun AND IMPORTANT S/C info
Well, it was maintenance time on our 80 - much neglected (by ih8mud standards). Point 1, I had some intermittent starter motor growls on start - not solenoid related. So, figured not wanting a long down time, to just get a re-manufactured unit from Dan. Point 2, I've had intermittent P0510...

Luis,
James is not from Venezuela, but he loves Cachapas. We've had them several times on our trips.

In my continuing "never gonna learn" series, first it was the cheap, non-oem brake bleeders
forum.ih8mud.com
then, I got the bright idea that you can get something for nothing and bought a TYC radiator.
Why would I do that? The promise of superior cooling. This piece of crap lasted a drive around the block.
Of course, being that amazon has free exchanges, I decided one kick in the nuts wasn't enough.
Second one leaks worse than the first. Both tanks. But, it lasted 3 blocks.
Compared to my old Koyorad, the TYC is a piece of junk. Construction is much cheaper, lighter weight and the plastic must be made of rejected tupperware.
The quality of the Koyo Rad is much higher. I have the two side-by-side and there are clear construction differences.
Because people like pictures- leaking both top and bottom
So, I got really good at replacing radiators. Just a couple tips to make this job easy (it's not difficult...anymore...)
The main thing is to just undo the center support to access the two "hard to get" nuts. They aren't hard to get.
This is a just a handful of 12,10mm bolts. (3 to remove the hood latch and hang by the cable)
You don't need to remove headlights, or even the grille. I suggest removing the grille, so you don't accidentally lean on it.
remove battery box (4 12mm bolts)
then, the two long rad mount bolts.
fan clutch and shroud come out together, then pull radiator.
*included for searches on TYC, KoyoRad, Koyo, Ron Davis radiators. I put it in my build thread, so it can be useful down the line when the summer overheating threads hit. There are many other thread to debate how great the TYC is.
Bleeding brakes: MityVac or Motive?
??? it will take me more than ten minutes to get the wheels off and the rig on blocks, tools/fluids out and ready, etc... I am not a job shop. Bleeding is always the easy part. 80s are known to ruin the MC with the 2-hooker pump method. Happened to me twice, a buddy and Cdan as detailed here...
