Ahh well can't do anything about that now!

I'm looking to play around with the lift/ride height on my coil converted VDJ79, the conversion uses 80 series rear coils so I'm looking for the following: Standard height 80 series rear springs in decent condition VDJ79 standard rear shocks, standard front shocks and standard front springs -...

Ok, I've never used them so don't have first hand knowledge of them, so was just curious.

Why not ARB lockers? I recall the Harrop e-lockers disengage if you let the vehicle roll back a touch for some reason. Not sure if that’s completely correct though

Yes, although if you go down that route you will need the ECU, wiring looms, actuator and dash switch as well, and I think one of the half shafts is longer too

This guy used to sell a kit to convert to factory lockers, not cheap though. Tom's-Fahrzeugtechnik-Shop - Warengruppen - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Are you going bolt in or weld in? I guess the only thing they will check is the standard of installation?

I have converted mine but I'm in the UK and we have different rules. We don't have SSM or engineering modified cars. I would contact Superior as they would know all about it I'm sure.

I have a used double din surround that you are welcome to if you want it, just pay the postage.

I guess you would be relying on on silicone sealant or similar and run the risk of it leaking at some point

Here they are, let me know if you want any more.
