First I want to say that there is no one right way to do Bush Limb Risers. This is merely how I did it and why I chose this method versus all the other methods available. In this article, I'm going to include pictures, tools I used list, and hard wear I chose to use. When I first set out to...

Thanks... I think I grasped most of what you've said already and much of it makes perfect sense reiterated. So if I decided to do the 30/30 (meaning inner axle and the birf), then I would have to upgrade the hub at all to accomodate 30-splines as opposed to the stock 27-spline? thanks for the...

I couldn't find any info on this on 'Mud or Here. All the info I have is people saying they have 30-Spline Birfields on their rig. Here's what my situation calls for. I have to do the famous 80-series Front Axle Knuckle rebuild and I'm fine with that. I'm already putting in all new...

I don't have the nice AirLockers, but my Rig does have the factory E-Lockers, which from everyone says, is a good enough for what I plan to do. I don't plan on any serious Rock Crawling, but more of a trail ride experience, so E-Lockers are it for me. If there is absolutely NOTHING else to...

My thoughts exactly, but if I absolutely have to use a block, I'm in one heap of trouble. Gotta save for it, was thinking either the ARB 9000 block or the MasterPull one... Heard good things of both, but I guess it's almost apples and oranges. I hear a majority of ARB stuff is made in Taiwan!

Well I'm using OME 850/863 combo. I was using 860 for the rears but ever since I added a second gas tank the GVW was more than the 860 springs rating... so I jumped to 863 which is rated for constant load (heavier). I personally wouldn't go any higher than 2" lift because then it requires...

whats the average annual cost to keep 80s going? Hmmm this is a loaded question. Aside from gas, You'll have to consider that oil changes are 7.4qts and a filter and any other maintenance which is run of the mill. Transmission fluid, Coolant (2-Gal Toyota Gen.), brake Fluid, etc. It's a...

I wanted to go bigger too... but I'm pretty happy with 285 75 16, They are plenty big... The second photo has a US Quarter coin in the tread.

agreed. I usually torque my rims down to about 80lbs, book says 75lbs, but I'll go 5lbs over just to be safe.

Yes I know the title is a bit geeky, but I'm in a geeky kind of mood. Let me get straight to the point. I searched ALL over the web, and almost no where is there any photos of a snorkel install preparation. Meaning, all the threads and instructions show how to install the snorkel, but nothing...

Thats pretty valid... more hardware and extra things that need tightening is no bueno! lol. I always thought KISS stood for Keep It Simple Stupid (or at least thats what my photography professor used to yell at me. Both Valid points... I hadn't thought of basic physics with more leverage...

Thanks everyone for the inquires... I actually sold it like a hotcake...

WOW! Looks great! Wish I could clean and re-paint my entire lower half of my truck! Looks like a lot of time too! congrats

Oh it was up here in San Francisco area. It looked like a kid and his rig, but more of a "Never-Go-Offroad-so-I-have-Bling-Bling-Rims" sorta deal. It looked cool, so I was just wondering. You do bring up a good point! Brake changes can seem like a chore if you have to take off extra parts...

Interesting, I went with the 3/8" x 85' of Master-Pull Superline. Reason, is that the working load is beyond almost any pull configuration I may setup and 85' because thats the length Warn recommends. besides, I'll be able to get to the 2nd wrap faster so my pulls will be stronger.

So I was driving down the highway in California when suddenly I saw a an 80 lifted, mud tires, and looking a bit wider than normal. Aside from rock crawlers needing that extra clearance, what do you think of Wheel Spacers? If so why? If you do use wheel spacers, how far out are you and what...

:Wow1: eBay Generic? Is that safe? I thought it wasn't wise to trust your gear to generic products especially the snatch. Considering that you could be pulling twice the load of the winch which is enormously lethal. Will do! It really boils down to common sense. As a photographer in this...

Hey guys, I've made the jump and swapped out my ARB bumper for one that has a winch. It's well taken care of, and is in good condition. There aren't any dings or dents, just a few minor scrapes, though I think it adds character. But if you want you can powder coat the darn thing. Anyhow...

So I have a quick question for you guys, I, too, am considering HF primarily for safety because of it's range. before I dive in, heres a bit of my background and why I'm looking for a solution. I'm a photographer that needs to communicate with my assistants so I have iCOM commercial radios...

Hmmm yeah I read this on the Master-Pull website! I know the M8000 is 5/16" line at 100' so I was thinking of going 3/8" line at 85'. I'll have to call Master-Pull and see what they say about that. You guys are right... I'm starting to see that Viking and Master-Pull seem to be the company...
