What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (62 Viewers)

[Dubbinchris]

Did pads and rotors today.

Also discovered one of the calilers that I installed back in April was having issues. They were Napa rebuilt calipers and they not only exchanged it without any questions but had it in stock. Fortunately the fence behind my house separates my back yard and the Napa parking lot.

So its not the weekend but I installed the superior engineering super flex arms, I really like the that fact that I dont have to grind anything so the slee TRE bar clears, these leave plenty of room, I also finished installing the corbeau seats, I got the mounting brackets but still had to chop weld and grind them but now they fit, and finally got the on board air up and running outlets on front and rear now with the airtank under the truck.

When will we see some legit flex photos and honest review of those radius arms?

Made sure to open a more manly beer on the bumper of my 80 with my BC opener so as not to offend @LS1FJ40 !

Dude seriously...

Had those on my jeep before I sold it. Get back to us how you like them on your cruiser.

Will do...no snow in the future forecast here in MN but as soon as it does I'll wheel it and do a write-up. Just from initial thoughts it rides smoother and quieter and handles better with no wandering when you hit the line cracks between lanes and road to shoulder. Really happy about that.

Rubicon trail trip 2 LX450s and 1 LX470. First time shooting with a GoPro. I apologize for the awful music and videography! Enjoy!
Parts 3 of 6

Great Video! Makes me want that LX450 even more now!

Had to catch up on over 20 pages of material in this thread since the govt computers on the ship won't load pics.. anyways not me but my dad took the LX to Alabama during the week. Sent clean pics after admitting he did a bit of exploring

Probably after they have been on for more than a day, not really sure.

replaced factory sway bar mounts with @landtank

I installed that kit last year after snapping the stock mounts in New Hampshire. My only suggestion would be to replace the top nut (the one that connects the link to the frame bracket) with either a nylock nut or jam nuts. I can't remember what came in the kit originally but i had both of those top nuts come off at separate times.

Went to get a rather tall Christmas tree at a tree farm with the fam and we had a great time. The tree didn’t seem that tall at the farm or on the roof rack but thanksfully the new houses have 12ft ceiling, it barely cleared the ceiling by a foot.

All these new micro brews & IPA's are for limp wristers. It's part of the pussification of America!

I’m not sure about this? Is this like getting a brazilian wax? Looks good but is it supposed to? Hey, I’m not knockin’ It...Sorry, I’m out of touch.

. Unless you've had a Brazilian wax, I don't think you are qualified to make that comparison!

Oh snap!!

While I've never had a Brazilian wax, I very much appreciate the results.

Not and 80 and not mine but am in Paris and spotted this truck nicely built with twin RTTs - you don't see much of this in central Paris. Cool truck..

(pardon the blurry image)

Finally replaced my hillbilly block off plates from deleting the PAIR system. The nuts were barely finger tight. I’m guessing I was getting a pretty good exhaust leak from both. Embarrassing. I’ve had the block off plates and gaskets since a week after I deleted the PAIR about 16 months ago...

But I need one more plate for up by where the EGR used to be. That one is holding up but will get it swapped this week.

Need to snag a 95-97 tube that goes straight back so I can replace the 93-94 tube that jogs around the PAIR plumbing.

If just removing the PAIR, you need two block off plates and the gasket, or is the gasket for the EGR? I am about to tear into this and Im still a little fuzzy what I need.

I agree with DC Brazilians are the best.

Bingo as was PC.

I did I think they were upgraded from last year, and yes NH will snap stuff gnarly trails up there and a few here in Ma. did one yesterday that smoked my new rear driveshaft luckily I had another new one to swap in.

Picked up what are possibly some of the last Toyota NOS and OOS FJ40 fenders from a local mudder for my '77 FJ40. Not having to deal with aftermarket fitment issues should be worthwhile.

Also, figured out how to fit a 10" powered sub onto the Wit's End 1/4 panel mount so that I can install it and clear the plastic trim piece. Had to hack the wood panel a bit, but it will be out of sight for the most part. Now, have to run power back there to a Blue Sea fuse box....

Need three plates and three gaskets if doing the PAIR and EGR Delete. IIRC. I had three gaskets and two plates...
