so thats whats called build with heart & skill, not just passion and lots of cash..🤗
Beutiful work
Great build! Thanks for putting together the great video, You're going to LOVE that thing.
Take care reversing up steep hillsides when turning around on the trail with those tires- or if you start bouncing a tire on an obstacle. With the high pinion diff it tends to shatter parts when you go to a 37" or larger tire. Years ago we put Bobby Long Superaxles (chromoly) in the front and that seemed to fix the problem, but I'm not sure if the company that bought out Bobby's widow has the same quality or not.
Look to all those massive gears in the TC! 😍😍😍
congrats on the build!! it is a bliss to have built it on your own..
Awesome build. I say keep the paint as is and just wrap it.
Absolutely love this man! Inspiring as I'm currently working on my own LC. Thanks to you and your awesome work, greetings from Norway
New subscriber here, great work man!!
Thank you!
Congratulations on your 80 build. Looking great and looks like you made some good choices on equipment. I've always wanted an 80.
Thanks!
Very very exciting work
Well done, been watching your progress videos and really enjoyed them. You now have an 80 that will last another 30 years :)
When doing the cooling upgrades I noticed green coolant? Do yourself a favour and flush that out completely and go the Toyota red coolant. Ive run only that in my 1995 80 series and when I had to do the head gasket at 480,000 km the water jackets in the head were spotless and shiny, same for the water pump etc.
Thanks!
Congrats on a fantastic year! You’ve done a first rate job on this LC 80 build. Inspiring me to get busy on mine!
Thank you!
Do you or anyone have any way of knowing if trailing arms have to be modified or buy adjustable ones?
The 80 is lookin good! Can you share which springs you went with and part number? Thanks!
Dobinson part numbers are C97-144VT, C97-145VT, IMS59-60684, IMS59-60685. Video link for the install is ua-cam.com/video/NTXgrcsCIZ8/v-deo.html
Fun project, love the 38s. We running 37"x13.50" on 9" wide -12mm offset wheel using same springs except their 6" adjustable remote shocks. I noticed you did not install the 1.5"-2" bumpstops required for the front and 3" bunpstops required for the rear per Dobinsons documentation. Has your shocks bottomed out and also have you had to trim much in the rear to tuck the 38s with -38mm offset?
I haven't had any issues with it bottoming out and I haven't had to trim, BUT I also haven't taken it through anything difficult enough (yet) to test it to that level. I do plan to install the bumpstops.
Good job I just picked up a 93 and I have a lot of work in head of me
I also have one, he makes the best videos right now.
I recently just got an 80 as well and I’m not sure what my first mod should be. What would you recommend?
You are inspiring, thank you for the old LC 80 wheels for my Toyota build! You have been such an inspiration to watch, and get my rig out in the hills
Thanks man!!
What a great build! I’m curious how much you needed to cut for the 38s!? I’m on KM3 37s and really considering making the move up.
I haven’t had to cut anything for the 38s. I’ve wheeled it and flexed it out decently but not as much as it can go. It rubs a little bit but nothing worth cutting. I need to get it articulated and check where it does hit, if it does.
Any plans on paint or wrap?
Yep! Probably not for a while but definitely something I want to get done.
@@RM_Garage I'll be watching! Love your videos man, I bought a 91 last year in really rough shape and I've been going through the really not fun stuff - steering pump, gear box, all the gaskets, water pump, egr delete, front axle rebuild etc etc.
It's really awesome to see your videos and be reminded there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Especially seeing you slap a lift and some 38's on this thing. Awesome build and videography, keep up the great work.
What gpm (gallons per mile) do you think you're getting on the road?
About 1 gallon per 300 feet
Have you had any issues with the 38 inch tires on there? Steering/axles/drivetrain/braking? Thanks
Not yet! I do plan to upgrade all of that.
@RM_Garage yeah I'm on 35's currently. I wanna upgrade all that stuff before I make the jump to 38, 39 or 40s. Thanks for videos.
So basically you barely did anything....haha. Happy New Year!!
Happy new year!
