i put in new birfields and rebuilt the knuckles a few weekends ago (surprisingly easy job I thought) no progress pics because, as anyone who has ever done this knows it is a incredibly messy job! Did get a pic of my part spread though! :) I used Longfield Chromoly birfs in the stock shafts...

It does stink! That said, I'm glad it happened before the snow flew, and before I spent all the money I spent on this on something else instead! Also thanks for the offer on sharing the knowledge! I'll for sure let you know if I need a hand! I also decided to finally wire in these lights! They...

I sure will pseebald!

Looking forward to see how your knuckle rebuild turns out. I have been looking around at kits. Which company did you get yours from?

This week I repacked my front bearings with grease, and reset the preload. I also added some grease to the birfields through the access port. In this process I have decided that I will be doing a knuckle rebuild at the very least. Potentially also new birfs. IMG_20160907_185847 by Andrew Turner...

Checking in from Nova Scotia!

Did my shake down trail run today with a whole bunch of Tacoma's. Went very well I think! 20160904_150849 by Andrew Turner, on Flickr 20160904_154602 by Andrew Turner, on Flickr 20160904_154611 by Andrew Turner, on Flickr 20160904_160514 by Andrew Turner, on Flickr 20160904_161818 by Andrew...

Thanks SGT!

Hey guys! I got my LX after I was driving a Chevrolet Tracker (Grand Vitara/ Escudo in other parts) and I was desiring a upgrade. I have been looking for a FZJ80 for about 10 months now. This one was chosen because it is triple locked, and also only about 5 80 series chassis were for sale in...

My top 3 favorite things for the woods / camping would have to be my candle lantern, Mora Companion, and the Fiskars hatchet. All 3 stay in the vehicle at all times!

Good Looking truck! I wish my LX was this clean! Excited to see the truck on the new tires and suspension, I plan on doing an OME set up as well.

I work for Kia, and there is a older lady that used one of the old Sportage's and she uses it harder than I use my Cruiser! Excited to see someone build one of these up! :)
