What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (60 Viewers)

[Dissent]

Changed spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor, checked my coil and ran a compression test. Then I ran over one of the screws that I lost taking off the aftermarket cap (without captured screws) and sunk all 1" of it smack dab in the middle of my tire! Guess what I'm doing tomorrow?

Going wheeling?

Oddly enough, I had the same thing happen to me yesterday, go figure.

I yanked the steering box off today and started resealing it. Hope to finish that up tomorrow.

Just a little R & D work for my next mod: Getting the 2nd START to automatically engage when in low range (and then disengage in high).

 

[Dissent]

Yeah, 3 wheeling it down to Discount Tire for a new tire...

Had to post another Pismo beach photo....

Did an HID conversion to my Hella 500's on the front bumper, replaced instrument cluster and climate control bulbs with led's, and tried to fix my leaky rear sliding windows. No pics, just got in the groove of working. Wanted to replace the bulbs in the OEM radio, but cannot find bulbs that fit.

Pictures or it didn't happen, as they all say...

ARB bumper? Crappy paint job? some headlights?

 

[Dragos80]

No.
A few posts ago, I said I sprayed a lot of WD-40 on both bumpers. Page 675.

Spent a rainy night in Bald Eagle State Park in Central PA. Like they say, a rainy day with an 80 series is better than a dry day in the office. (someone says that, right?)

After a long hunt and stressful wait, we finally moved from an apartment to our new home.
Good thing my 80 is not my DD anymore because it would suck to drive through Altamont Pass everyday!

Our two kids love having their own backyard. And of course, a new driveway for my 80 instead of the street parking.
Too bad it won't fit in the garage..

And my son had already marked his room!

Chances are it's only the display backlight that's gone bad. You can swap it for the CD-eject lamp like this:
Fixed the CD player and LCD backlight

Borrowed my friend's anti-theft system and installed it. Installation was fairly simple, and it seems to be working really well...
