Outer Limits 4x4 Board

has anyone made or know of a supplier of drop boxes for a 80 series landcruiser with 6inch lift

y do you need them in an 80?

no need on an 80 for them unlike the nissans

Well there is a need for some form of caster correction with a 6" lift! If anyone does make them they would obviously be a weld-in affair, probably easier to just fit drop arms.

I have bolt in ones on my 80 series. (can remove them)
they work realy well.
drives heaps better than the castor plates i used to have.

where did you get them from and how much approx thanx

Most ppl do a flip arm, loosing the dangly bits under the diff. A high steer would also be adviseable as your relay rod is in such an angle it causes steering box sector shafts to twist

anybody got any pics will try and manufacture myself cheers

Try Umahaurs ARB in Geelong Vic. They make them for GQ/GU and may make them for Toyatoa as well? Worth a try.

Get a bit of box secdtion to fit into the "U" bracket under the chasis. You shound be able to use the bolt hole to hold this in. Then weld another "U" section under the box section for the arm to locate.

PM BIG RED, I think his navi has a home made set on this 80 series.

I have some pics of mine but don't know how to post em.
Has the system for posting pics changed since ages ago?
I can email them to someone who can put them up.
Anyone willing, send me you email address.

Bruiser has emailed me the pics, so here they are:

The sticker is coming off your driveshaft

Slightly off topic but I just noticed today that I also have bump stops on the chassi. (last Picture to the right of spring between spring and sump.)

This has been discussed in the recent topic on radius arm flip.
What is the purpose of these as I also have the ones in the coil.
BJ thanks for posting the pics.
And I better see to the sticker quick smart

thanks for the pics thats great now i have something to work off as i am going to manufacture them myself cheers

no worries, im sure you have more pressing things to do than worry about the sticker LOL

nice drop boxes. who made them for you i wonder...........

Yeah mate, have put your name to them in variouse PM's
Still going strong and that suspension setup you did is still working well.
Was wondering if you would recognise them.
But yeah, these babies were made by giantracing.
So your best off asking him if anyone has anymore questions.

When you say it drives better then the castor plates, in what sence is it better? handling, ride, steering feel. Also do they really stand out in such a way DOT would have a fit???

Cheers Troy

These are the set that giantracing made for me a few years ago and they worked well

Do the factory hangers need to be strengthened? or are they all good?
