I did a few things!
Did a brake fluid flush, that thing was nasty!
Got myself a hazard switch for my CDL and took the LX offroading for the first time!
It did really good for being a stuck height truck on 33s.
Got some battle scars and definitely sliders are coming next. Bashed the cats a few times and now I have an exhaust leak

Took this project with he help of the 80's community, replaced all 4 solenoids for my 80, and replaced the automatic transmission filter while I was in there, now it's shifting too smoothly. Just wanna say, props to all the diy posts, cause I wouldn't have done it without yall. This is coming from a guy who doesn't know Jack smack about mechanic work. Very satisfying to bring my baby back to life again. I hope it doesn't look too bad for some of you.
looking good. I had thought the big vent would go further forward than this but I think I like it. good job
Did some flex testing with the new 39s and lower lift.
Hope y'all don't mind me putting this here but for those in need of an awesome winch this deal is too good not to share.
those things actually work decent?
Probably great with a Warn sticker on the control box.
Slee 4" heavy or medium? Did you get the progressive rears? How about some info and specs on those wheels? Do you have a profile pic on level ground?
Yes they do. Tons of reviews on YouTube. Even the older ones worked great.
Well, I guess I wasn't too far off: it looks like it ended up being Casey's Off Road Recovery, one of the guys that shows up in every other Winder Towing's video.
i see at least 3 landcruisers in this pic. if i were to guess i'd say thats a back left tail light of a 200series through the tree there making it 4. you must live in queensland.
Every time I see an 80series it makes me miss my 97LC which I did a lot of work to it including converted to a Toyota Turbo Diesel this is the only memory I had sold it a few years ago
Check my build thread for most of that info and pics. Running the medium springs right now until I get more weight
Ha yep and there’s another 200 and 79 Dual Cab off camera.

Must be a good neighborhood
The front springs are used slinky 75mm intermediate giving about 3 1/4" of lift with a 1" spacer so 4 1/4" total lift in the front, rears are TourFlex _2F coils from Trail Tailor, they are a progressive 2" lift spring but with my set up I am getting 3" of lift.
The wheels are Battle Born Bootlegger's 17"x 9" with a 3 1/2" back space, true Bead Lock
Tires are Kanati Mud Hog M/T 39 x 12.50 17. I went with this tire because it 12.50 wide.
Finally getting some time to work on this thing.. Emotional

I'm digging the classic GM trucks you've got in the back ground... I've had a '70 and a '66 (albeit very briefly).
