Tried to find 1000dollarman on Pirate and nothing came up. Any other help on finding the tires for sale?

When you are posting a responce click on "Go Advanced" and then when you see all the little icons on the right look down at bottom left hand corner. There is a link there like this [More]. Click on that then you can see all the Smile icons.

Thinking of doing half doors or tube doors...any thoughts???

It was sugested to me that I make some tube doors but I'm thinking half doors would be really kewel....more protection from Rain, Mud, Wind....ect!

Has anyone done this?

Any thoughts??

I've had a full set of doors for a couple years now and have planned on doing this. Not sure if I'm ever going to get to it, so I might have doors for sale if you are looking for some.

Anyway, something that seems to be important is to keep the upper door frames. Some are concerned about the amount of body flex that could happen while wheeling and that the regular doors may not fit correctly when put back on. Personally I think people are overly concerned. Guys with 4Runners are seen wheeling doorless all the time and their doors go back on just fine. Sure, the 80 is heavier than a 4Runner but an 80's frame is much beefier too and probably flexes less.

Anyway, by keeping the upper door frames I think if there was any body flex, it would be kept to a minimum with the door frames in place. Besides I think halfdoors look better with the full frames.

Yeah I think I would keep the upper frames.

So how much would you want for those doors?


Thanks for the info!

Sorry dude! I didn't get by the shop quick enough, they already had them in when I got there!



So here it is with the 5" lift! The "After" pic.

And here is the "Before" pic. I think I gained some where around 2.5"s in lift. It may not look that much taller in these pics but it's seems huge in person!

In this pic it looks like the drivers side tire leans in at the bottom but it's really not. The side wall is flexing out (only have 10psi in) and then the sun hitting it the other side makes it look that way.

I will be extending my panhards later just wanted to get the lift on for the trail ride to Death Valley this week end!


Stay tuned....more pics to come!!!

HREW 1.20 wall....I know, I know, I should use DOM but I don't plan on get'n to crazy in this thing and the price difference is a lot. Also I have always used HREW 1.20 and haven't had any failures so far.;p

this post from the first page definitely needs to get bumped

LOL!!! Yeah funny how plans change, right! And I did end up using .120 DOM after all! Thanks for calling me out!;p

This sport is like crack...once you've done the hard core stuff it's hard to settle for anything less!!!

 

[CreeperSleeper]

That is so true... Heck, look at the body panals on my 80!

 

[jfz80]

sick roy, just sick. and dont worry.....it looks plenty big in the pics too.

 

[Nay]

Wow the 80 can swallow tires. That stance is much better.

Now your shocks are too short.

 

[tan-jeep]
