WTB: (AZ)Expo Gear, RTT, water system, Long range tank for my FZJ80 Landcruiser 80

[OverlandTheWorld]

Does anyone have good sources to find the common gear for building up an 80 series? I have looked at the most common websites like Slee, Manafre, Sierra Expeditions, AJIK, TRDparts and many of the vendors on this site.

Here is my expedition build so far, I am hopefully taking this thing from Phoenix to Tierra del Fuego this September. Please check my website for more:http://www.overlandtheworld.com
1997 LX450 (same as Landcruiser 80 Series)
Found a highly desirable, rust free example. 120k miles. TRD Supercharger, factory lockers, ARB Winch bumper. Completed most preventative maintenance done= PHH, fluids, egr, birf rebuilds, valve gaskets, new hoses, rear main seal, all u-joints, carbon canister replacement, new wheel bearings, gas cap, radiator cap. For extra cooling I installed a JDM aux fan, blue hub mod, and will be adding roof vents (Thanks Murf at Camelback Toyota).

Good call on the Gobi stealth - I have one on my 80 and love it.

As for the rear bumper, have you looked at 4x4labs (http://www.4x4labs.com/products/rear-bumpers/)? They make a killer single or double swing out bumper for the 80 that has amazing build quality. Plus, I don't believe that they're THAT far from you, so shipping might not be too bad.

As for sliders, you might look at 4xInnovations (http://4xinnovations.com/p-RS08.html). They're beefy, cheap, and look good to boot.

I realize I'm likely not a ton of help (as neither my bumper or sliders are for sale), but with the used prices of bumpers and sliders being so close to the new prices, it seems like one might as well go new.
