Looks great! But...white letters on the outside? Interesting choice.
Always been a fan of white out. Apparently this is topic of discussion out there. Bangshift has a thread dedicated to this topic specifically. Out of curiosity I just looked online at pics of some 80s and I would say 80% were the opposite of mine.

That would indicate 80% of the 80 owners have better taste than you do.
There’s a lesson there, I’m sure...

white out reminds me of the early 90’s. I think my first 94 Toyota pickup on 33’s BFG mud terrains was white out. Lol

Well I finally got around to dwindling my pile of parts. Delta vehicle system front bumper, warn 10000 eco with synthetic rope, factor 55 flat hook, Baja squadron lights, depo headlights and white knuckle off-road sliders.
If anyone cares, before and after Dobinson 2" lift. No caster correction needed, no spacers needed and NO Stinkbug.

Installed a new antenna, this was a pain. First, there is no adapter for screwing something into the stock unit. Don’t believe ebay.
It wasn’t that hard to get the stock unit out. Take off the top nut with a needle nose and then there’s a bolt in the engine bay that holds the unit in place.
After that it gets difficult. The antenna cable does not come off the stock antenna easily and you can’t plug it into the new antenna.
You can’t just pull the new antenna wire through off the old one as it doesn’t budge. I started taking off the fender to run it through the stock hole but gave up and just ran it through the plug with the engine harness.

Of course you didn't need caster correction, your in California. You could even run 37"s without regearing and it wouldn't even rub.........
We have speed bumps&& and stuff and 345s are all sold out-otherwise you are right!Of course you didn't need caster correction, your in California. You could even run 37"s without regearing and it wouldn't even rub.........
Haha, your a good sport. I am glad your smart enough not to take my stupid comments to seriously.
But seriously, every 80 series is a little different. Some of them can handle a small lift with no correction of any sort. Others need caster correction with a small lift. I am glad you had such good luck with the dobinsons. I have decided my next set of springs will be dobinsons.
Your rig looks good with those tires and lift.

It took two weeks but I got my OEM wheels powder coated.
New rubber being mounted up in the morning and then off for a weekend of wheeling and camping.
Cheers

It’s super 1980’s and 90’s. I am old enough to remember.
People rehash styles. I noticed the mullet is making a comeback down in Australia.

I replaced my antenna as well. The process sucked, no other way to say it.
Haha, I am not sure the mullet ever left AustraliaI noticed the mullet is making a comeback down in Australia.
I love mullet memes
