Yep. Same here. I can't complain at all about Lowe's. They've been good to me so far. Pay is better than I expected for a retail position and they take good care of their employees. Plus I get a discount so I can buy stuff to build a headache rack for my 80. Just to keep it "tech"...

Took my son fishing with my 80. It was raining so she got to get a little muddy. She liked that. Afterwards we stopped at Scheel's to pick up some lures. When we were leaving a Heep parked next to us. With...wait for it...WHITE nerf bars. My son called it a "poser Heep". And said "Dad, you gotta take a pic next to LC and post it on MUD." Haha.
96 miles of backcountry. Lost lake, saw a old man and his goats who thought I should not be out here. I showed him the map and proved the trail was open to 4 wd. He apologized and was still surprised to see a 4 runner out here

Interested in seeing those pics, I need to do all those things you just mentioned. Except I don't want to pull the dash apart !

Come and take it
I will post up some pics in my build thread in the next day or two. Im waiting on a switch to come in so ill wait to put it all back together. its not too bad, just lots of unplugging and remembering where all the little screws go.
So far this weekend, I secured my new exhaust to the frame, I had to make a bracket outta some 1/4" angle iron, to get it secured in the rear... for some reason the hangers that cam on the new pipes only matched the mount behind the cats, the rest were off by 1/2" to over an inch.
Cleaning up the minor rust on the hood now... had a small hole, and some bubbling on one of the corners... waiting for the tiger hair to dry so I can sand/paint.
Took the old girl out wheeling the other night.... man this thing is an unstoppable tank.
Its always nice when you're at the bar, and someone asks about the 80, and then proceeds to tell you his lifted 4runner will walk all over it...
Heh... put your money where your big mouth is

Used my Cummins to go pick up another 80. The addiction is strong!
A buddy of mine calls those Jeep 4x4's "TEA SIPPERS", you could sip tea in them all day because they never get off road, hahhahaha.

Haven't decided on any long term plans for this one yet. I did want a second cruiser for the winter so that my green 80 doesn't get exposed to the salt brine they spew everywhere up here. Initial plans is to swap in a new brake booster, passenger side mirror and wiper arms/blades. Can I still get wiper arms for a 92? I will drive it for a while and determine if another engine swap is on the horizon
Yes. ^^^

That's funny. We saw an early 90s Range Rover Country LWB while we were driving to go fishing. I passed him on the Interstate (yes, my 3FE can pass other vehicles!) and we both mutually nodded in appreciation. But when I see a Heep I never give it a second glance...unless it is to make fun of it.

Changed the oil, filter, and lubed everything. Finally getting around to pulling the front axle to replace the U joints.
Pulled the motor, trans and tcase for a new set of gears, seals and a head rebuild.
