I drive with 3 guys who all drive 80's on semi regular basis and they experience a lot more mechanical issues, it's almost like having landrovers along :lol:. Main things seem to be auto gear box and electric stuff Ive got a GX 80 series,no electrics and most of them are manual :wink: Only other tr...

Tyres are kumho road adverture mt are basiclly new done less than 500ks on them Rims are in excellent condition and come with all the centre caps,not sure on offset but they are off 80 series Not sure how to post a pic but wheels are the same as these but 15x8 http://www.4wdbits.co.nz/ProductDetails...

Was onto the castor correction bushes,was just a bit confused about panhards and sway bar extention mount because some 3 inch lift kits have em and some dont

Do you need adjustable panhards for a 3" lift or will oe ones do the job,also do i need sway bar mount extensions or just lose swaybars all together?

Any advice from 80 series owners who have done a 3-4" suspension lift appreciated.
Cheers

Think i saw you at woodhill today,grey 60 with the retro stripes

My mates that have patrols had issues with the valve that activates them.
they put those mac valves in and there sweet.
Might be worth a look

If you drive a e.g 98/99 4.2td patrol then jump into a 98/99 4.2td landcruiser
Youll know why he choose yota powa haha

Hey thanks,So do you mean center diff lock has to be on for it to work in 2wd?

Ive brought a 80 that im slowly moding up for the bush,is it just a matter of putting on manual front hubs to make her part time 4wd?
