after knocking o can of beer inside my cruiser i learned two things: 1, beers rest nicely and safely on the bumper, down beside the corner of the open tailgate; 2, i like it a lot better with the rear carpet, which i removed to get all cleaned, removed. You reveal two tie-downs back there ...

How did you attach your trasharoo; seems very simple, wrapped around the tail gate, don't know why more of us without the spare carrier aren't thinking like this. Would like to see how u did it, thx

Was the gate on Tugwell Main open? or was Butler Main the way that is accessible? - it looks pretty tight for an 80 series..

finally got five 255/85/16 mounted and had the guys throw in the 5oz packets of CounterAct balancing system, in each tire; made and developed in Southern Ontario. @landtoy80 I'll report, that the balancing is working amazing; it's even removed some of my intermittent brake wobble, from worn...

i know. and i know it sounds crazy, but my thoughts were, if there was an engine to test these vapor ideas on (link provided) - i think this would be one good choice.. and Tom Ogle inventor/mechanic died in '81 so he never lived to see this great machine. also, new engines are still not...

i've read that these transmissions are so solid (especially the a440f); they even put them into commercial vehicles, like busses, IRRC. I'm not worried about the transmission, so long as i'm not down shifting into 1st at any speed.

I'll share my city driving style, which i think will help make your brakes last much, much longer ... let me know what you all think. one thing i've come to notice over the year owning my 80, is that the low end torque is significant, even at idle, and thus while applying the brakes, in fact...

does anyone here care about reducing emissions?

Hi Guys, wouldn't it be nice. In case you have been living under a rock, 'hillbilly science' has shown (on youtube) that cars can run on fuel vapor alone; or reap increased MPG, with the injectors working. In terms of the 1FZ-FE, some areas possibly to explore, or tap vapour into, in my...

well, i'd really like to meet ya'll too, so i'll keep following.

so, for the past month I've been on the road, and an odd gremlin has popped up: The 'door ajar' light has illuminated, with all doors definitely shut, while driving - the odd thing: first it was only intermittently on sharp right turns; now it flickers more and may even stay on, unless im...

any progress? - very nice looking plan. - may i ask, how much labour time did it take the shop?

I emailed them, just thought I'd ask if they wanted to trade for an 80.. Would u guys do that? - I don't know if I would want to trade.. I really like the cloth interior in mine and lots about mine, and 100's seem to get about the same gas mileage.. . I thought they were part time 2 wheel drive/...

Well, after a 400 mile trip; on one tank :flipoff2: I'm super glad I kept the 265's hwy tires on. It was wet, and I'd be scared to have been hydro planing all over. .. ... Now I realize that MT tires will need grooving and siping before any road trip. It's been a drought here, and boy did it...

in preparation for the weekend i paid a small shop 58$ to just get rid of the rusted-on 20 y.o. rear diff fill-plug; at least the dealer only charged $3 for a crush washer and $9 for a new diff plug... :eek: - :censor:, can now really see how paying 1,300$ after a trade-in was a steal! ok...
