I see Jason....
That's hilarious! I sent my wheeling buddy the pics yesterday and that was his response too LOL! I installed wheel studs just after the pictures so Jason is gone now. The spindle, latch and mounting plate came from Comp4x4 so I had no input on the Jason mask.

Got my COMEUP Seal 9.5s installed.
Spent some time digging through all my spare Yakima stuff to be able to cobble together 8 1A gutter mounts and 4 cross bars. Had to hack saw some stuff to get it all to work and fit. Some of this stuff is 20 years old.
Either way when I was done I put it to immediate use and went to a local mtn bike trail.
Oh she's a beaut!Got my COMEUP Seal 9.5s installed.
Thanks! It's the World Cup edition and I've been pretty happy with it. My prior Epic was alum and I shaved 8 lbs going to the carbon frame.Nice epic! But how da heck did you put it up there?
Anyway, until I figure something out hitch wise to use my hitch mounted bike rack I have a small step ladder to get the bike up on the roof. It comes up to about the height of my rock sliders which is high enough to get it in the roof but not so talk that it's a pain to fold up and put in the back of the truck.
New Yodateq Antenna mount installed.
Got my COMEUP Seal 9.5s installed.
Did you put some kind of faux cabon vinyl wrap on your bumper?
Carbon fiber ARB #becausseracecar
Towed the boat down to the coast to race in Hobie Midwinters East. 3 days of racing.
Check Slee Off Road Web site, they have a great newbie section for 80 series strollers. Should point you in the right direction.
Lockers? The color is perfect! Are you going with ARB or 4X4 labs for the front bumper?
Got my rear section of exhaust made. I fanned the front half over the frame couple yrs ago. Glad to have the rear half out if harms way.
Also cut up 2 bad truxxs mts . I have to send the cutouts back to 4 wheelparts for my refund. My truck drives so smooth without two out of round tires!!

That's pretty slick how you routed the exhaust through the skid on the bumper. I'm gonna remember that when I get around to redoing my exhaust.

After a year of trying to track down a shake I had a suspicion of tires all along. I had them road force balanced. Two tires where out of round/egg. So I got new ones from 4wheelparts under factory warranty. I had to send cutouts with dot #. Also they measure how much tread. Over 50% is full refund.

front axle service completed. gah what a slimy mess.
I had 5 new SCS F5 wheels installed.
There's a bit of a story behind it:
I'm admittedly picky when it comes to taking my 80 or other vehicles anywhere to have something done that I can't do. People make fun of me about it, and I make fun of myself, but, I'm not a dic* about it. When I dropped my 80 off at my local Discount Tire today, I told the rep that I wanted to be upfront by letting him know I'm a picky guy (despite the dents, cracked flares, etc., (that were mostly there when I bought it)). He was awesome about it, and said, "so, basically, don't scratch the wheels?" I laughed and nodded, and said, "I'd happily pay a higher-than-normal fee so your guys could take their time and you wouldn't lose money." I'm not sure if he did or not, though.
About an hour later I got a call from the manager--turns out they'd scratched one wheel all the way around the lip. He was apologetic, confident and professional, and had a corrective plan prepared (local alloy wheel repair, and if that didn't suffice, wheel replacement). I thanked him for his honesty. These things happen.
It was worse than I expected, with a moderate groove that may have impressed the metal. Before having the repair guy have a go, I wanted to talk to Vin at SCS.
Anyway, here are some pics of the wheel packaging, wheels unmounted and wheels mounted.
Yes, that's a Target bag on my winch. It was really rainy today and I have yet to find a winch cover I like. I told you I'm picky.
The scratch, which doesn't look as bad in pics.
