[High Lander]

Would you mind posting which company in Australia you use? I have a RHD over here on the other side of the pond. Thank you.

Hi Sam

This is the lever mod:



Various folk make slightly longer dog bones to spread the shoes a bit more at the top at rest. It's only 1 to 2 mm bigger but makes a lot of difference. I ordered the Terrain Tamer ones and they're high quality

Superior Engineering sell direct but they have minimum order complications and their shipping was bizarrely expensive, so I bought the same parts from these guys:

Superior Handbrake Upgrade Kit Toyota Landcruiser 76 78 79 80 Series

Thank ya! I might actually get my ebrake to work.

Great coverage! I ended up having to use extended plastic nuts for the steps after I added sound deadening + thermal foam. + boom mat

I can see I'm probably going to do the same. They are barely hanging on

that Delta stuff is sick im looking at doing the full icon kit

 

[Dusten]

4 (13mm) bolts a seat. It took maybe 5 min a seat to pull them it's very easy.

Until the bolt spins because the welded nut came loose

Between the delta rear panhard bracket and the 3L arms, the 80 drives great now.

That would suck. Guess I'm spoiled having a southern rig with no rust.

Installed carpeted plywood that slots into two holders riveted into the drawers, so i can sleep in the back and not get woke up by the other campers at the overland expo next week. When not in use it lays flat because the hooks are door hinges.View attachment 3322309View attachment 3322310View attachment 3322312View attachment 3322313View attachment 3322314

This system worked well at the Overland Expo in Flagstaff this weekend, great sound proofing. The drunk neighbors in the $200,000 rig only woke me up once at 12:30am, I should have opened up their propaine bottle after they went to sleep, so they wouldn't have a fire pit on Saturday!!! I must be getting old and weak

Went down to Vegas and did some dirt roads with my buddy in his Ram 3500 on king suspension. Looks like it was not a good idea trying to keep up with him on the bumpy desert trails. oops.

Somehow after parking at the Pioneer Saloon for a drink my starter decided to keep the gear engaged after startup. Just replaced the starter with a reman. That was fun in the parking garage of The Strat.. lol

Do you have to run spacers with the SCS ray 10s?

No spacers at all. Took them off for good!

What are the specs?

SCS Ray10 wheels in 17x9 -38 machined hub 1/8th inch, 35x12.50 Toyo MT’s

@COYS was a big help with the set up.

Thanks High Lander. Good to know a manufacturer can make new carpets for a 30+ year old truck.

What was the fix? Re-weld?
