Well, I visit that workshop again. They opened both of front wheels. Checked the play (Vertical & horizontal), and it was OK. They spin them manually, and both of them were absolutely free. No resistance while spinning them manually.
They fixed back nicely.
Then opened rear wheels, and same results.
They confirmed everything is good with the wheels.
I visited the Wheel Balancing & Alignment shop, have all wheels balanced. Crossed all Wheels too. And Alignment was perfect also.
But Vibrations are still there. When pushing the accelerator, It seems that engine or gear is carrying extra load and producing vibrations.
Now going to Visit shop who are expert in Shafts and will post updates later.
Yesir, both sides!
There is a couple at some decent price for sale on Ebay if you are interestedNow I'm really pissed UPS lost my 430 visors Saturday.

Passenger side
I installed a 37 gal long range fuel tank. My old one was cracked and leaking...I could only get about 16 gal in it.
The long range tank uses the hangers for the existing fuel tank straps. Mine were rusted all to hell, so I had to fabricate some new mounts. I'm enjoying the expanded capacity.

Educate me. What’s the point of the 430 visors in the 80?

More questions than answers.
Nice rims on the 80. What brand and size? Thanks.
Installed a lift to work on her and washed her up for the first time since the paint job! Thanks to @fourtrax for all the advice on the lift! 40 needed some rear end surgery so it got the first go on the lift.
New sliders come Tuesday - get those painted up and I'm done for a bit (yeah, right)...
With some adapters they bolt right in and are pretty abundant/cheap. You get sliding visors with more coverage. Mine finally just showed up. Dunno what UPS did with them but they're finally here.

Which brand did you purchase? Any modifications necessary to make it work? Any loss of ground clearance or departure angle?

Questioning my life choices...
I like those wheels, a little narrower spoke and sharper edges than the SCS F5 I've been eyeballing. Since SCS makes the F5 in a 17x9, I've been planning a 315 upgrade when the tires wear out but now I must ponder the FN Wheels Five Stars.

Great to see Cam is getting into the 80’s more, we needed more east coast support!
He seems to be a solid Cruiserhead who does great work!

Replaced all 4x calipers with new OEM Toyota, fought the bloody brake system bleeding for 2 days (ran out of fluid and had to get more), replaced steering gearbox with a Redhead gears unit and bled that system, installed Marlin Crawler tie rod and drag link with new Three Five ends, did my own alignment and straightened out my steering wheel. Put off the oil change until my Ford 90 degree arrives and I empty my oil bucket.
It is way easier to find LS430/LS400 visors in good shape for cheap on ebay than LC/LX ones.
My old stock ones were sagging and failing apart and were useless.
-Replaced all my coolant & water bypass lines.
- Bypassed my rear heater.
- Replaced my heater control valve.
- Rebuilt my starter.
- Wrapped my electrical harness in heat shield tape.
- Earned my right of passage on the PHH.
