This is so common on 80-Series that get wheeled hard. I broke mine off too. Once it happened I started looking into it and found that a lot of people had this issue. I try to tell everybody to remove the front swaybar when they install the lift. The front doesn't flex enough to even notice...

I agree with you, my rig was set up for a different purpose. However, I did drive it across the state loaded up. I also had the truck in every combo from stock to where it sat when it got parted. All I'm saying is with 37's, you need 5.29's. That goes for hardcore wheeling or loaded up and...

From what I noticed, snow was just as bad as playing in the rocks! Honestly, 5.29's and 37's made my 80 a beast...

Stock gears and 35's or 315's are fine... stock gears and 37's suck and will overheat the trans when playing in the rocks...

I will be the first to say that my axle may have been tweeked but I do know of a handful of people that had the same issue. You can search it out on Mud but I would just run the OEM seals and carry an spare. Also carry a spare lock washer and birf snap ring. They are cheap and if you need one...

Here is my advice: Call up JT's (justdifferentials.com) and tell them you are a 'Mud member. Order up the rebuild kit, gears and install kit from them. They will hook you up on a package deal. Take out your 3rds and drop them off at a shop to have the gears set up. It should be less than...

You are going to love the 5.29's and 37's. I ran Nitro gears and was very happy.

It's about 50 lbs.

I'm glad you like it! I built it to handle the abuse I put my 80 through (which was way more than 99% of the other people).

Here is the link: http://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/307322-redneck-enginuitive-belly-pan-finished.html The new design has more bracing than what is in that pic but we are having some issues. We may have to go back to the OG design. There was nothing wrong with the original, we just...

LOL! You need to post up the pics of your rear bumper. It looks great!

You are talking about my skidplate, right? :ylsmoke:

In my situation, I needed my 2nd row seats but I hated the drawers. I ended up building a platform that was a low as I could get it and still sleep across the folded down middle seat. It worked perfect! I'm planning on building another one for my 100-Series

That's awesome, Jon! I'm glad my skidplate made the first round of modifications. My step-dad lives down in SD. I will have to hit you up the next time I go down.

I wanted a non-NAV '03 - '05 but due to the price and availiblity, I bought the nicest non-NAV '00-'02 LX470 I could find for the best price. I love it!

Just for info, I picked up a 2000 LX470 with 113k in pearl white for $13k... That was on the West Coast, though.

I vote for a fiberglass topper. I love mine! I'm going to build a bunk bed up at the front for my daughter and the wifey and I sleep on an air mattress in the back.

Oooh! I need to add that to my list of future mods...

Nice looking truck! I'm excited to see where this goes as it sounds like I have the same goal / mindset and usage for my Dodge.
