PO had trailer brake run through it.

I shouldn't have zoomed in so much lol

just get a thin rubber washer from the hardware store to cover it, looks like it needs to be there when you polish it a little bit
 
:doh: beat me to it

First I have to find a way to force that plastic piece from the cable onto the metal bracket without breaking it....anyone else have this problem?

WTF today i asked for that same sound system and they said the least they could do was $250, :mad::censor: i was thinking of buying it for christmass, but now i'm sure as hell not buying it

Was that an installed price? Looks like you could do it for less than $200 through amazon, really good results, easy install. Looks like you need to shop around, good luck
 
Finally got around to mostly getting the 8274 winch back together. Gotta get a new o-ring for the free spool handle. Hope to have it finished and mounted by the weekend.

there's a notched groove that the bracket slides into - you may have to scrape a bit of the paint off the interior of the fork on the bracket.
 
Finally found another HDJ81 to import...

Cool move. It should be quite nice once you've de-uglied it as you suggest.

I'm still pretty new to the 80/whole Toyota thing so these are pretty new to me. I really like the wrong-hand-drive idea just for something different. (Diesel helps, too.)

Nice find. I'll look forward to your update once it's on this side of the Pacific.
 
were you having any noise out of the front end? If so, did changing to the spindle bushing to the needle version make the noise go away?

Hey,

I don't drive the truck but he never had any issues with noise that he had told me. I had rebuilt the front axle using Marlin seals (I know this could be the problem) and a few thousand K later there were soup in the knuckles again.... Talking to some well known guys around here we figured that it could be the spindle bushing was worn and not centering the axle shafts properly.... hence retrofitting to the needle bearings.

Final test on our new LCP (Land Cruiser Products) front sway bar disconnects. Note the official Toyota test forklift:D

Looks awesome! Looks like a ton of flex from (correct me if i'm wrong) J-springs, right? and there aren't any other mods to your suspension?

That looks awesome! Can't wait to buy some :)

Do they require tools to disconnect? Or are they a pull a pin kind of deal?
