What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (63 Viewers)

[bcart1991]

Got rid of the rattling-ass muffler, straight piped currently but that sounds like garbage. Going to fab up a new hanger and toss in a cheapo glass pack this coming weekend to fix that. Then, on to fixing my rattling-ass rear brake shield. That *should* eliminate all of my rattles...

Also got plugs and fluids still on the list.

We went on a trip up to the Selway and Lochsa area (Idaho) this weekend. Super beautiful and a lot less people!!

Slick looking stove set up!

Slick looking stove set up!

It works well, when I designed the rear swingout for the tire I added a female 2" receiver to the end so I could plug in the basket for when we go camping. My chainsaw usually lives on it until we get to camp, then it turns into the camp stove shelf.
I like this better than two swing outs as drivers side one would always be in the way when using the awning.

Got the sliders built just gotta finish painting.

What kind of lift is this?

 

[JK47]

I’m doing the starter again. such fun

 

[Irish Reiver]

Did this then straight to step 6..

Wow! Never seen one of those indigos before - like you said, a rarity! That pine forest is their habitat, right?

Yes, longleaf pine forest. Indigo snakes have been absent from AL for ca. 60 years. We are reintroducing them into Conecuh NF.

Disassembled front axle to the CV's. Will do the wheel bearings and new birfield next week. I love fresh maintained vehicles...

If somebody is intrested in doing it himself, here is a step by step:

 

[Poondoc]

Changed oil and transfer case fluid. I used my last big oil filter. Now it's on to the yzzdddxxxx...I think that's the one.

I also put on new belt moulding on both front doors.
I have the weather stripping for the fronts too. Do I have to take the door panel off to remove that?

I took the door panels off and installed the inner weatherstripping.
Unfortunately I broke the black plastic triangle on the drivers side ugh. Ordered one from the dealership $20.

As my birfields are clicking up a storm, I look forward to the replacement video.

Yes, longleaf pine forest. Indigo snakes have been absent from AL for ca. 60 years. We are reintroducing them into Conecuh NF.

We still have them in East Texas but they are rare. They aren't as dark in color in Texas. I have heard that they get enormous!

Spent all week working towards removing the head (1fz) and finally got it off tonight. I’ve never gone this deep into engines on any of my cars so feeling pretty accomplished. Hopefully I can get the head into the machine shop early next week. I have a lot of cleaning up to do on other components as well. Going to refinish the valve cover, etc.

Went for a drive into the mountains for Mother’s Day. Nice to get up into the hills after a long winter on the prairie. And yes that is a little bit of snow streaking through the frame in the pics.

The large dark snakes in east Texas are Texas rat snakes. They aren't as dark because the adults retain some of the juvenile pattern. Indigo snakes are in Texas but only far south in the Rio Grande Valley and those will be Texas indigos a species separate from the eastern indigo.

 

[Heckraiser]

Fired up the truck after two weeks of maintenance downtime and got a P0100 and a transmission fluid leak at the radiator. Some other loose ends too and I'm out of time to work on it, so I may lube up, bend over and take it to the mechanic

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

Heard one of our local trails has been block for a few months and was not passable.

We made it passable with a little pucker factor

What kind of lift is this?

Bendpak hd9. Plus I added a set of air hydro bridge jacks. I love the set up. I have the wheels for the 4 post lift so I can move it around if needed. I never really need to though.

 

[Mesha]

Installed the sliders. I may end up putting a top plate on. I am not sure yet. I also took off the bumper and repainted it. Still have to install the little inserts.

 

[Gunner56]

Did some painting. Monstaliner Medium quartz gray, and painted the grill. Had started to paint the wheels graphite, but I think I will have to switch to black, wheels and body are too close in color. New belt molding, and broke some 25 year old louvered vents on the rear. Win some lose some.

Finally got some sound in the thing. JVC double din and some 6.5” kickers for the front doors. I know lots of folks like to keep the stock speaker covers and keep it clean, but my door cards were already damaged there and these things sound great. I don’t think they look terrible, either
