Installed some new tires!
New tires are on. 265/85/18 33” over all diameter copper stt pro. I had the copper allterrians before. So far I like the new tires they are noticeable louder in the freeway but they ride great. Hopefully can do some testing tomorrow Offroad.

@Chrismanjs You sure on sizing? 265/85/18 is like 35.5??
Do you mean 285/65? That'd be more 33ish.
They do look really good!

No, I haven't loaded the Mojave stuff, just AZ
Best skid plate ever IMO. That is what I will put on next 80.

Hands down the skid plate to smack with a 6000 pound truck on top.
Replaced the front spring shackles.
When I put the Skyjacker springs on I bought greasable shackle pins. A few months later Claudia had one of her greasable pins break out on the trail and I discovered that they were not the best choice.
They looked better than the 1971 vintage factory ones tho

The one pin has significant wear only a few years later - this is some seriously kr$ppy steel

1/3 has been worn off and this was going to break sometime soon (and probably at high speed or far into the boonies)

Got some new solid pin shackles from Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters Cruiser Outfitters

Kurt's spring pins are definitely a notch above
although I must admit, I managed to twist at least two of them by now, too
went through Stepmurr-town today - last leg of bringing our 80 from Baton Rouge to Arizona
completed the trip on the directest route - 30 miles over the Four Peaks

- it hadn't gotten any low-range for the more than 5 years since we got it - and probably not a whole lot before, either

Went up a hill I became committed on that I didnt want to come down
Did some needed camping and reading
Revisited an old cabin that had been remodeled and clean up. Very nice to see a lot of work was required.
@Funner ready to go back
Picked up a new toy that I found to be very durable
Took a picture of my Land Cruiser with the trail in the background
