Thanks! Ya, I'm pretty anxious to sell off the truck, so I can free up some funds, the space in my garage and get started on this project. Never thought I'd say that, but after driving this, the truck is just doesn't do it for me anymore. Although I'd still rather have the truck for serious trails, since it's smaller and still well built...as Harry pointed out, for what I do now, the LC will serve us much better. It will still be very off road capable, but has so many advantages over my truck, including power, comfort, handling, cavernous room for gear and camping and the ability to haul more than 1 passenger.

The paint on the hubcaps has worn off and I was going to repaint them when I get a chance. I actually will eventually get black wheels and slightly taller 285/75R-16 (33"x11") MTRs to replace these. But ya, I also kind of like the look without the caps.

Regarding the Airbag sensor, from what I understand, on the Land Cruiser 80s, the sensor is located near the center console and is basically a G sensor. For the airbag to go off, the vehicle has to be traveling at a certain speed and has to experience a very specific type of G-force that can only result from a forward motion coming to an absolute split second stop. And that only results from the front end basically hitting an inmovable object, such as a concrete wall at moderate speed or another vehicle head on, or something like that.

I think there's little risk of an airbag going off when you don't want it to on the LC. Toyota did not put front end or bumper sensors on the LC.

Normal off roading and even things like roll overs, normal frontal impacts, side impacts or impacts from the rear will not cause the airbag to go off. Losing control on a downhill trail and running straight into a huge tree at 40 mph...will probably set off the airbag and save my life in the process.
