That’s what I ended up with. I got maybe 1/3 of the way through and I think I need a new cutting blade. PITA!
Sounds good, I will come by on Saturday. Dave has my number, send me a text when you have the time!
4 years ago I picked up a rather neglected triple locked '94 LC80. Named her Molly.
Drove her for a year before I settled on what I wanted to change. First thing to go was 6M1..Pretty stoked with the transformation and the journey to get there. Couldn't have done it without all the help from mud. 60k miles later including multiple coast to coast trips. Still my daily driver.

There are two versions. One ending in (a) for Alpine, this model is a direct plug and play for an Alpine head unit.
the second ends in (u) for universal, this model can be wired to any brand head unit.

I am pretty sure they are #700 spring
No I am not replacing them got these second hand and I am going for 3-4" lift, I really love how good my rig drives now since I put these on I would say buy a set of @Delta VS arm's and you will be as happy as I am so far, I hope to install my springs tomorrow if I can

I have been planning to buy a set of @Delta VS arms I just need to recoup from my
last buy. They are on the list. I check their site frequently looking to see if they have a scratch and dent used set listed. I expect I will eventually have to poney up and get a set.
Currently I am running OME J springs with spacers in front. I am trying to stay at about a 4inch lift with the Cummins. Please post up your thoughts after you get those springs installed. Do you recall what specs. the delta arms were built to?
Things that you won’t hear an 80 series owner say.
- I can’t believe how fast we’re driving!
- Wow! Our gas mileage is great!
- I’ll race you title for title
- No need to check those knuckle nuts, I put them on super tight last year.
- As your driving with your wife. Isn’t it amazing how quiet this landcruiser is?
- Clearing that 401 code is so easy!
- I just love the feel of cracked leather seats!
- I’m glad they put that pesky heater hose where they did, it is so accessible.
- Whoever invented these sun visors is a genius!
- Who needs cup holders?
- No need to change that heater control valve, they last forever.
- Who said iron and aluminum don’t pair well.
- She never leaks
- I’m glad all of the parts are still available
- I’m one hundred percent satisfied with how my land cruiser is today. Nothing else is needed.
- Seriously sweetheart, $5000 for this cruiser is a great price! It needs nothing!
- I don't think I want to buy another land cruiser.

#15 can be omitted. At least in my case. 
Looks good, safe to assume that is the factory tint on the rear windows? Those wheels look really good too.
Attached and wired up an arb twin located in my wits end RQP @NLXTACY. Still some things to detail, switch placement and fabric wrap some wires for a clean install. Airing up my 37’s from 12 psi to 35 psi takes this set up 2.5 minutes per tire. Thats half the time it take my single arb compressor to do the same on my 200 series which has 35’s.
very happy with this. Well made product.

Made a quick jaunt to the high country (9800ft) to test some new gear with my son. The Cruiser paid me back with some really nice mileage. 263 miles and I am not even to 1/4 tank. I also really appreciated how well it drives not loaded down for a weeks worth of traveling and towing my teardrop.
I adjusted my valve lash on the old 3fe.. also sat there with a tooth brush and scrubbed all the grit off the rocker arms.. those things were grimey but after the adjustment she purrrrrrrrs. one valve I think the forth one up from the back was soooo out of spec I am surprised it was running so well prior to the adjustment. tomorrow is welding in a new exhaust bracket

Wits' End
The #deltavehiclesystems #ShifterConsole is in. The ONLY bummer about it...it’s gotta come back out so I can put it the #HushMat liner down and possibly replace the carpet and the heat barrier the tunnel.

Pulled the itres off to install wheel spacers again ( she rubs bad) only to find my bulletproof nitto's had an issue, It looks like I chucked up my rear drivers tire in a lathe and machined it, Must have spun it up whilst logged against a rock Im guessing. But it was time to actually use the 3 yr old spare. First issue Ive ever had with my last 2 sets of mud grapplers. Glad I caught it before it fialed. The UP side of this Is I had a chance to Fill a 37in tire from dead flat to 35PSI with the extreme aire amgnum I got from @LandCruiserPhil So that video will be up on JailBreak Overlander on Youtube for those that have never seen an extreme aire do its thang.
