STUFFING 40s on an 80 SERIES LANDCRUISER!!

The first in a series of build videos. This episode I cut the body to fit 40 inch tires.

[@bigcityoffroad3372]

Yes I am!

Hey mate I like your custom arms what heims did you use and size tube? Cheers

[@bigcityoffroad3372]

Tube is 2.5” .25wall, 1.25” heims with misalignment spacers cut down to fit factory arm mounting width. Way better than bushings! ;)

@BigCityOffRoad legend. I was going to go bush one end heim the other. Any particular kind of heim and bolt used?

[@bigcityoffroad3372]

@@bigbadazza230 brand wise, FK heims if you can find them. I bought these heims, not FK, from barnes4wd. Idk if they ship international. Bush at one end is probably fine, i dont do anything half way so i did full heims. As far as bolts go, its all 3/4” grade 8, metric would be like 19mm shaft, grade 12.9.. and the bolts are full shank, threads dont start until after the bolts pass the mounting the brackets, then a washer stack to not bottom out the nut, people overlook that.

@BigCityOffRoad thanks mate appreciate it. I want the rubber one end to not be too harsh on chassis or passengers. It's a compromise. I've known people to brake stuff with the extra stress it adds to things. And being in aus it's not uncommon for me to take the 10 000 k plus road trip so it's important it all is long lasting Thanks again! Love the videos subbed man
