Right on. Wish I had seen this 3 hours ago before I ordered an aftermarket one lol.
Depends what aftermarket? Tom Woods, Landtanks, slee are all legit products
I’ve been running mine with the driveshaft out the vibration on deceleration is so bad. Didn’t measure how far off the ground its sitting.
I got one from Tattons.

Slee doesn’t offer them anymore.
@Ib8mud On the tatton shaft you need to make sure and keep the cv greased every three to five k there are some threads on it also about thread engagement. I have a land tank on the front of my red 96 no issue cured my vibes and it’s Yota cv

My daughter helped me swap the front seats today.
Took her down to the cabin this weekend…or actually, she took me.
Quick Uwharrie trip with the kiddos and the dog. We spent more time on foot than in the 80 but we had a great time, had no mechanical issues, and pretty much had the trails all to ourselves.
Thanks for posting that advice.

Not an 80-series but a good testament to the quality of Land Cruisers. I just drove a HZJ105 5,000 miles to the USA in 11-days. No issues to really speak of with the 27yr old Cruiser!

Do you know about how much of a lift that was for you?
Another gauge working. Installed a SAAS oil sandwich plate and ran the line. Was super cool starting the truck for the first time and watching the gauge move. I had to do an oil change so this was the perfect excuse to get that done.
All but the radius arms, shocks and springs have been ordered with new OEM hardware from Yoshiparts and should be here next week. I also ordered SPC rear lower control arms instead of OEM. After this, the plan is OME 861/862 with nitrochargers I think.

Installed a Wolfbox camera mirror thing. What a pain in the a$$.
Worst part is, I’m already regretting putting this thing in. I’ve been loving driving around in an analog truck with no modern amenities. Time will tell I suppose. Guess it’s safer in parking lots to see if there are any kids right behind me. That’s how I’m going to justify it.
Borescope came in clutch by the way.
