What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (42 Viewers)

[desmocruiser]

Added the all brown Mosley seat covers to the rear seats, turned out to be a decent match to my Scheel-Manns, close enough to the other 40 shades of brown to satisfy me on my adventure truck.

I continue to be impressed with the leather seats from Mosley, I have had many years experience with Katzkin, DK Schweizer, etc. and these are as high quality as you can get along with great customer service!

Thanks! They are Scheel-Mann seats in the front, several great threads regarding, spendy but worth it if you spend alot of time in your 80.

This one is built for cross country trips and long days on the trail. My aging body appreciates them!

My other 80’s are short trippers and kept stock or with some new covers from Mosley.

I want to do the exact same thing. Can the wires just be swapped with new connectors from one light location to the other light location and be good to go?

Thanks for any input!

That’s how I did it.

My Sheel-Mann seats were by far the best investment I made in the 80.

I'm sure one day mine will not look like Frankenstein any more ..... seeing such great looking rigs out there gives me hope

Very cool, I want to do the same but run a switch back bulb so with the clear corners it will be wht with the running lights on and switch to amber when signaling. Have that on my truck, it looks good!

I get 17.5 on 35's.

But I am way f***ing slower than you.

And diesel.

 

[Dusten]

And diesel.

Which was kind of my point.... Neither of us is a conventional 80

Coyote Ridge off of HWY 395. Funnel Lake is way over rated. The ridge drive is where its at!!

The rest of the world would argue diesel is conventional.

The Lutz Auto speedo correction box is the bees knees. No wires to cut or splice, and nothing to disassemble - simple plug and play, and it's stupid easy to adjust. It's adjustable in 0.5% increments so you get the dead-nuts accurate speedometer/odometer, and your transmission shift points will feel like they should.

Landcruiser 70/80/100/105 & LX450/LX470 Speedometer Calibrator/Correction Device | Lutz Auto

The Lutz Auto 70/80/100/105 Series Landcruiser Speedometer Calibrator can calibrate your speedometer to display the correct speed, compensating for any modification that affects the speedometer calibration (ie. tire size and gearing changes). No complicated dip switches to deal with and no...

Agreed! Used it on mine and verifed with a GPS its only about 1/2 a MPH off! Awesome upgraqde is your running 35's like me!

Installed a blue sea usb, cig lighter and voltage monitor in the back for the fridge and charging whatever else. Really nice product, will come up with a more conventional cleaner mount one day. Or not. It has a fusible breaker on it to turn of when not in use.

Replaced the steering shaft seal, the dust seal on the torque converter inspection plate, and a top radiator hose

Built a makeshift platform for sleeping for the meantime until I buy a drawer system. Made out of a 3'x3' pallet and wood I already had for the cost of free fitty!

Best price there is

I posted in my build thread already. My trans is back together but they broke the throttle/kick down cable. So 95% chance it's not ready for my road trip.

That's some of the best looking "pallet wood" I've ever seen!
