    Ironman, EFS or OME (Old Man Emu) suspension for 80-Series overlander?

    I'm not looking to buy immediately (got a couple of other bits to sort first to get a solid "baseline") but my next major investment will be in a 2" lift kit for my 80-Series. The reasons for this requirement are two-fold; firstly, to replace the standard, tired shocks and springs to improve the...

    Not enjoying my 80-Series; did I make the wrong choice?

    OK, I'll be honest – I'm having second thoughts about my 80-Series LC purchase, and wondering if I should have bought a 100-Series from the outset. I bought it because everyone on this (and other) forums raves about them, and the missus and I are planning a significant overland trip in a...

So, I am looking to moderately upgrade the sound system - the vehicle will be for...

    Getting more front legroom in my 80 LC? And an armrest?!

    OK, I'm liking my 80-Series more and more, but one thing I do find is that the legroom in the front is a little lacking. I know in (whispers) LR Defender's you can unbolt and move the seat rails back a bit to gain an inch or so, which is all I need for all-day comfort. Is there a similar...

    DIY storage systems

    One job I want to make a start on sooner rather than later is the layout and construction of a storage system for the back of the 80. This will be in the form of a rear draw unit replacing the third row seats and a fridge/freezer replacing one of the second row seats. My question is, what is...

    1993 Landcruiser 80 expedition build (UK) with pics
