Installed red head steering gearbox. Amazing difference in driving. If your steering is loose just do this.
I first tried rebuilding my leaking one, just could not get it to tighten up. Was cool to see how these things work but never doing that again.

Where did you get these? My passenger side just visor just took a dump.
Wow, that gorgeous! Looks like they don't make for the FZJ80, that's too bad
Out with the old, in with the new

First bath; couldn't ask for a nicer day for a spa treatment. Who knows how long it's been since she's had a nice bath? This Chemical Guys foam sprayer is awesome. It smells like candy!
Relaxing to do a simple task as washing the truck after doing lots of hard work baselining.

Correct, only 1HDT exhausts. I think another AU company Beaudesert Exhausts makes a similar stainless version for the 1FZ-FE but it's $$$ plus international shipping.
Torqit. Not too many people running their 80 series exhausts - seems like they just came out a year or so ago. I saw them on 4WD 24/7, they mainly make exhausts for more modern options like 70 series and Patrols. 3", 304 stainless.
What was your all in cost from Torqit if you don’t mind me asking? Thinking about the superior engineering route as well. Need a new exhaust soon. 1 HD-T motor in my HDJ81. Thanks.

A/C time!
I dealt directly with one of their sales guys because I couldn't order through the site from the US. They gave me a price of about $1300 AUD for the exhaust and $900 AUD for freight, for a grand total of about $1600 USD
Excellent, thanks.
That's exactly what I paid for the exhaust I have

That's HTX AC! I like analog with less tech, but the ball chiller, paired with the fan in the Recaros, is the best feature in the 80. ATMO these are more comfortable than the scheel-manns.

Price point? And do you use a planted seat bracket for install? They look comfy! How have I not seen these in a 80 before? Dean are you breaking new ground?
Added a little ground clearance.

Hey, Wes. Planted brackets W/ Recaro sliders. Dan and crew at 425motorsports are awesome guys!
These are Recaro Orthoped: so comfortable yet sporty.
This set is actually from Germany, so real leather.
To me these are way more comfortable than Scheels. These are firm yet supportive; i’ve ran both I prefer these in all ways. These are similar to the Scheels in the sense that they're squared off and look more period-correct. The armrest and map pocket on the Scheels are cool, though.
I've seen Recaro sport lines in 80s: they're very comfortable, but look more appropriate in an Audi S4.
I'm definitely not setting a new trend, but I do get heckled a lot by my buddies; they call it a Dean truck. Dork alert (me)
