Hi All, Just discovered this sight this morning and it is refreshing to see new sights like this in their primal stages. I enjoy sharing ideas, experiences, and just plain BSing about our adventures, your adventures, our rig, and your rigs..
BTW,, it is a 96 Series 80 LX450. Front and rear stock e-lockers, and the 7 pin mod to lock up the differential. 2.5" OME heavy lift. with "J" springs up front. Slee sliders, rear bumper, and Shortbus bumper up front. 9,500 lb Superwinch up front all sitting atop 285/75/16 BFG ATs.
I built my own drawer system in the rear, doing a
way with the third row seats, and have upgraded the stereo system, with all new speakers powered by a Kenwood head unit, along with a 250 watt powered subwoofer.
We enjoy backcountry camping, wheeling, hiking and backpacking and this 80 series suits our needs/wants perfectly. I decided years ago that instead of top racks, that it would be better for us to pull a trailer, so I built one. It is very light, keeps our cog very low, and we have the freedom to venture into places one might not get to with all that excess weight on the cruiser. I'm looking forward to enjoying many years of overlanding as we continue to explore all the back country nooks and crannies of North America. So once again,,, hello everyone, be good, do good, have a great day !!
