Very nice 80. This may be a nube question but what is that short strap mounted under your fairlead for?

TiredIronGRB · 10-24-06, 05:27 AM

It's the crap strap

jamisobe · 10-31-06, 02:00 PM

Inspiring. Definately a very uniquely effective modification. I would like to see, from solid ground, the bog that could actually stop that king 80.

Oh... and nice stance. Pilargo Amilio! (wider is better)

TroutRunner · 10-31-06, 05:35 PM

Loving the new look..but, I remember you saying you like your tires like your women, "Tall and skinny." I guess you now like girls that are even taller and hefty.

TiredIronGRB · 10-31-06, 08:49 PM

They're still pretty thin 39.5X12.50X17

lowtideride · 11-01-06, 10:46 AM

Hey Tired, I dont know how much this applys to you but you talked about a full belly pan. I raised my drivetrain a little over an inch and will have a flat belly pan from link to control arm. I am running a different tranny and t-case than you but I was able to to get a flat belly. Will post a pic when I get closer to the pan in my build.

TiredIronGRB · 11-01-06, 11:39 AM

I think I'm just going to make a stonger skidplate. I really don't rub that much on the bottom.

beno · 11-23-06, 05:00 PM

So George.....I recently checked the page linked in the first page of this buildup and it seems that the pics and everything are gone from the Tired-Iron webpage.

Did you move it to another site?

Thanks.

Best.

Thanks very much George.

joules102 · 11-24-06, 04:09 PM

That looks superb. Nice work!

TiredIronGRB · 12-04-06, 09:23 AM

Looking to trade the 80 for a Troopy.

brayn · 12-30-06, 01:41 AM

I've read through the whole "fred" Awesome!!!What happened to the 80?

TiredIronGRB · 12-30-06, 06:34 AM

It's sitting on my trailer getting ready to head out to Mountain City, TN this morning for a day of wheeling.

If you want some good reading read the Pirate build thread...

alkaline747trio · 12-30-06, 09:48 AM

Where is there to wheel in Mountain City? BTW, that is where I picked up my LC 2 years ago.

TiredIronGRB · 12-30-06, 04:14 PM

Callalantee, it has a few good trails but not much to write home about. It has a good waterfall that I just about flipped over backwards on today, tore my rear bumper up (some more) and dented the quarter panel.

There was a girl video taping and taking pictures I'll post up when I get them.

alkaline747trio · 01-02-07, 07:41 PM

Not worth a 3 hour drive, but worth checkin out if I'm in the area? Public land? Cost anything?

TiredIronGRB · 01-02-07, 08:55 PM

$11

alkaline747trio · 01-03-07, 02:47 PM

Hurry up with the pics already!

concretejungle · 01-05-07, 10:13 AM

Did you make it up without winching?

Also, how the progress on the full belly skid?

Yes, but I did have them hold my front down with a strap. It kept wanting to come over when the springs started unloading, I'm going to weld a loop on the axle so I can use the winch to pull it down.

Haven't done anything yet

concretejungle · 01-05-07, 11:46 AM

Cool.

I was thinking you may be holding off on the skid since there's a for sale sign in the window.

TiredIronGRB · 01-05-07, 11:49 AM

I think I've got over wanting to sell it.

hehehehe.....couple of wheelin' trips is all it took.

Glad you came back to your senses.

TiredIronGRB · 03-04-07, 05:32 PM

I finally got a good winch for the Cruiser, a buddy saw it on Pirate and gave me a heads up.

It's a Warn commerical 12K made for the Civilian H1 Hummer.

It has a narrower bolt pattern (8.5") than most standard winches (10") so I had to design some adapter plates to make it work on my bummer.
The original mounting bolts are 1/2" :shock:
