So if I sell my house, I can have an 80 like that??

That's not 3-wheeling. That's levitating.
Entirely different. And the overall secret is to build just about as much flex in the truck as is commensurate with your abilities to actually use it...
Naa, you just have to be single, have a good paying job, and have a good credit card

Who needs flex - levitating the equivalent of a locked shopping cart certainly has its moments...
P.S. That 'hole' under the left front is about 3 feet...

A little off topic but as OP, I guess I can't thread jack myself.
First of all, crazy pik.....so what would KDSS do in a situation like this??
As I understand it...it would lower the tire to the ground (in most cases) but with a three foot hole like in this pik, what happens??
It would just lower the wheel as much as possibly til you eventually become off balance and fall in the hole....??

If you don't mind me asking, how much do you have invested in the suspension??
I don't have an exact number but if I'd have to guess I'd have to say north of 5k that's just suspension like shocks coils links

I checked out your other pics on your profile page....didn't understand half of the mods you have done lol..very impressive.
Let me k ow when you wanna sell!!
I didn't fall in the hole, levitation carried the lifted tire over the hole - I drove slowly with steering towards driver - the driver front tire eventually caught the embankment again and the truck leveled out for a short moment, after which the rear passenger tire fell into the rut and the front went up yet again
yup, articulation of a shopping cart
did I mention it had manual steering ;p

I'm going to drive it till it rots into the ground, I just have to find a misses that loves landcruisers as much as I do lol
Better hope she loves you more than the LC or you'll be left with neither! Then one us us can pick it up cheap.
Depends on where you wheel, without flex in certain situations you tip and teeter totter, been there with the stock radius arms, it was scary as hell, it feels way more stable now
Seriously. Even the slightest wheel dip will pull the whole weight of the truck down with it. IMO, more flex isn't about looking cool while posing. It almost becomes a safety issue when doing extreme wheeling. Not to mention it's the reason why the 80 isn't capable of doing certain trails without lots of body damage.
