This week, as I been working weekends, I took the 80 to DMV to finally get my motorcycle endorsement.

Finally finished up the de-chrome the bling and painting on my 5 OEM rims. Hope to get them mounted next week. I painted them 2-tone like the CE and finished with a Satin clear. Everything was rattled canned with duplicolor wheel paint.
What was your trick to get the lines of the 2-tone so nice? I did the same by taping off the inner parts but still ended up with slight overspray in some spots and not perfect lines in others.
At least if you're standing 10 ft away you can't tell on mine
Just picked up my wheels with brand new BFG KM3 35's.
Getting closer!
Getting closer!
Drove about 1000 miles averaging about 15mpg over a week. Trying to restrain myself from posting too many pictures but maybe someone will enjoy them!

No need to restrain, amazing pictures!
Hey Phil, Do you have an ETA on the hold down? Looks like another fine idea (I am also running a 31). -TOne could use the factory hold down but an unsafe hold down in my opinion. I use a much safer mount that goes the other way and does not tear into the battery box or run the risk of shorting out.
The mo better hold down system shown in the picture below will be offered at Land Cruiser Products in the next couple of weeks.

wow amazing pics yellowstone? or alaska??
Thank you, Yellowstone National Park. I'd highly recommend staying at the Slough Creek campground if you ever get the chance to go.
Thanks for the interest. Some hardware landed yesterday I was waiting for. I hope to find some time this weekend.
Great shots - it's always a great trip. Makes me want to go there right now. Thanks for sharing.

Picked up a hydraulic crimper. It works. Had a couple of free hours between appts today so I replaced all of my lugs with proper fitting, tinned copper lugs.
And broke my passenger side (91-92) battery box. Will be picking up a new one. Or I’ll duct tape it. I’ll probably duct tape it.

Finalizing battery hold down today on our LCP Turbo 80 parts runner. We will also be offering a upgrade to reduce stress and protect the fusible links commonly an issue.
The end results will look very close to below, a tested proven setup.
Wrap gone, new tires on, supercharger gone. First test drive: she still has good power thanks to the 4.88's. I can wait til winter for the hair dryer upgrade. Had to take a lap through the woods to start out properly.

Due to the weight I’ll be introducing with the aux tank need to move some weight around first thing is to move the enormous 37x13.5 mud grapplers into truck made a tire mount using 3rd row bolt holes on floor and one off fender well out of steel had laying around
and make the drawers into drawer replace spare mount on rear with a ladder always something to be done and then off to the road again
What @scottryana said.
It wasn't bad at all. It really boils down to the fact that I like doing new things with my 80 and I have wanted to do a full turbo project on something so it seemed like a good idea. It is modern technology amd the 1fz-fe is a great boost platform, I believe.
And it's fun!
