FJ80 Coils on 3rd Gen(Pix)




Along with my Landcruiser OME shocks, I got some good articulation. I tested it out this morning and it was sweet!

Just really need the panhard bar.

And here is pictures of my other toy: My Nitro HPI Savage 4wd RC truck:




(Yes, it likes to jump high and go fast!!)

Your tires look tiny now. It will look better after you take the body lift off.

my front bumper is 2 inches over the legal limit. I was lucky the people at the inspection station passed it for me.

Jeremy, what mod are you doin now? I just got a new alternator, soon to be new tcase (gear) and some rear hangers and ditch the frenched ones and blocks.

Yeah ait will be a lot nicer w/o the body lift.

I dont think it adds to the top heaviness though as a suspension lift.

Its actually really flexy in the rear now, and the front is at about stock articulation, as in, the front a-arms are parallel with the ground and not all jacked up.

Its not all that bad though.

Id like to get some wider tires on there too. Im going to get some 315's probably, and take of the body lift and I will be stoked.

That looks awesome... How do you get in there? You should go with some 10" wide wheels also.

Yeah Im only 5'8" too, getting in is annoying. But Im young and stupid so its okay. hah.

I just really have enjoyed working on the suspension y'know. I want to continue to do more advanced things, and buy a welder soon. That will just expand the possibilites. That and getting a torch... HEHEHEE

Wow... if I ever go long travel in the front, I'll probably get the 1.5" LC OME lift coils for the rear.
