Baselining a 1991 (modified to 1994) FJ80 with 450,000 Km

Good work! Do those new bushings give you a smoother ride? How old are the shocks?

MUCH MUCH better ride, what surprised me in this car that every little change you feel immediately.

The car was like jelly in bumps before, now its far more civil and predictable. I was so pleased with the effect.

So to explain better, its less jelly like, predictable and far better control.

I think shocks are oldish but the previous owner used the car A LOT in the desert. I would imagine 3-4 years old so they have around 100,000 to 120,000 KM on them.
 
Great! Did you do the control arm bushings as well?

The above picture is NOT from an 80 series LC. Could be a 100 series.

I agree with you here! Looks like the adim missed this... come to think of it I missed this detail too!

By the tank straps and independent rear end in the pic it doesn't look like any LC..

In the 2nd picture it looks in very good condition... well done for finding one that looks very good from where the pic was taken.
Looking back earlier in the thread it seems like I was was already on the case! :laughing-rolling: :think::thumbup:
