@eimkeith makes these weld in radius arm drop mounts. I am very impressed with his work. I think his pan hard brackets are going to be my next project.

Doesn’t look much different than it did when I posted it last time.. A few months back I purchased a engine, trans and tcase from a clean 96 that had been wrecked. Prior to the wreck the rebuilt motor had only 50k miles (212k odo). Transmission was rebuilt in 2017. This along with the other $3200 of parts I’ve collected over the past year just been sitting in the garage. Finally got around to pulling the 80 up to the garage and removed the original trans, tcase and driveshafts to swap the gear from the other 80. Besides the lack of experience and living 5 hrs away from the vehicle I’m beginning to understand this stuff just takes time! Whether is buying all your parts or getting it together and sorted out.. honestly don’t get how people have the patience for it, I’m halfway tempted to tell someone make me an offer and get it all 
Thanks for posting this. I really like his design and may really consider going this route up front. Amazing all the things out there mud members are doing I can seem to find. Dave at Delta has ignored my question about making a special 4" with 1" extension for 37' s lol, so guessing I have to go another route to remedy the rub,
I have a laundry list of things to get done before spring that I've been putting off. Not as daunting as your list, but definitely takes time and patience. Oh, and I like your style:Doesn’t look much different than it did when I posted it last time.. A few months back I purchased a engine, trans and tcase from a clean 96 that had been wrecked.

Headlights wired, rebuilt steering box and pump mostly reinstalled. Hopefully back on the road next weekend. Front bull bar has to go back on, gullwing install, flares all around, and front door speakers mounted.
No problem, I am happy to give back to the community.
Check out this thread, I detailed the process for anyone interested.

At this point I think you're pretty much destined to own an 80. Get 'er back together and keep on truckin'.Doesn’t look much different than it did when I posted it last time..

Nice. Guessing I don't want to run these with castor correcting radius arms though. I like the idea of moving the axel forward.
Depends on how much lift you have.

One step at a time and don't give up. You'll get there eventually.
Right, nothing drives like an 80 imo.. Have a bit over $5k in it total, cant buy a decent Cruiser for that! Btw how your brother doing, he still have the 4Runner?

Yeah, he’s still got that thing. Ain’t this like your 4th 80?!
Sounds good! And this is number 5
Changed the pic on the startup on the Alpine again. This time with an actual pic of my 80.
Deck lights. Two modes. Bright 10 watt work light And three mini warm white mood lights, for chill. On a three way switch. Powered off my rear power and ground to the new rear ground bus The deck lid was not ground
And this. Hot tip someone here had. Temp sunroof delete with magnetic vinyl.
3” Flexi springs finally arrived. Can’t wait to see how they feel compared to the OME 850/860 I have now.
