My prob with brights wasn't the solenoid; I'd shorted out one of the 15 amp headlight fuses in the box under the hood. Once I'd sorted that out, Slee harness works great! All my issues were completely my mistakes.

First of all, this thread is still relevant. It's 2024, I just attempted to install Slee's (updated and improved, black) headlight harness in my 80, and I ran into problems. So (1) to any other electrical system novices out there (besides me), IT'S IMPORTANT TO RE-INSTALL THE GROUND WIRES FROM...

Thanks Hank that's a fine offer but I've got a full belly, a cracklin' artificial fire, Monday Night Football, and my snuggly bride here in the bedhouse. What time do you launch in the a.m.?

So the Rally is a fundraiser for the Phoenix Art Museum, how about that?

So Peg and I returned to our regularly scheduled vacation at Kohl's Ranch just east of Payson after a fine day canoeing and trout fishing on Woods Canyon Lake, and I thought I'd died and gone to Classic 4WD Heaven! The 9th Annual Copper State Overland Rally are overnighting at the lodge...

No but coincidentally same friend has a beat up, now undrivable (but not beyond rescue) V8-modded FJ55 in his back yard!

Popped up in my Facebook feed from nine years ago. My friend's truck broke down in Newman Canyon (north of Mormon Lake and FS 132). We were down a rocky, rutted road called 132D and the tow truck wouldn't drive down to get him so my largely un-modded 80 and I pulled him up. I still have that...

As many have stated, I also run 285/75/R16s with no rubbing, spacers, or issues. Marked improvement in looks, slight improvement in clearance, minimal detriment to gas mileage or steering geometry. I bought five and the fifth fits fine in the spare slot, including with the "raised spare tire".

Cool lineup at Red Garter on Speedway (Tucson) tonight. Evidently I'm not the only one who knows where to find Sunday Night Football and some of the best hamburgers in town! Say hi to Peggy photobombing from my PS.

Had never seen one--looked a bit like a Thunderbird--good looking car.

Seen in Truth or Consequences, NM. Who can name make and model?

Welcome! Can't have too many Bretts in CSC :flipoff2:

Damn, that didn't take long!

Haha no did not sniff it. I did stop multiple times on FS 202 to pick up some twenty pieces of aromatic, cut and dried juniper that had bounced off someone's flatbed; will burn nicely in my fireplace this winter. One of my hunting partners saw a nice three-by whitetail buck on Black Mesa just...

Continuing from Unit 23 Muledeer Hunt. We backtracked down FS 203 to turnoff to FS 202 and headed north. Nice muledeer habitat down FS 2907 (Spring Canyon) but not a lot of space. Continued up over Hog Mountain and now above 5000' in elk habitat with many alligator junipers and scrub oaks...
