Well, good news. You guys are awesome and my compression testing needs work. Battery was low last night when I did compression tests, and I pushed it into the shop. As I was getting the battery charger hooked up, I noticed the negative terminal was loose. Tightened that and let it charge...

A couple weeks ago I went to start the 80 (1996) and she fired, then died and would not restart. I had to run, and am just now getting time to troubleshoot. I checked spark and that seems fine. I went through the emergency starting procedures thread (Emergency Troubleshooting Procedures -...

Cool Trip. I've been up the Dalton a few times, though never in an 80 - it is always interesting. I remember waking up due to a pothole while my buddy was driving and looking over at the speedometer - we were going 80MPH on the gravel. The CB/VHF is highly recommended. Trucks own that road...

In my ongoing effort to make the 80 behave better on the highway, I started jacking up wheels and checking for play. I had previously found a loose wheel bearing in the front (lock washer not locked and things started backing out - that was scary). So after getting the front back in order, and...

HoffLar, I left the last 1/2" or so of the flat bar (where it actually contacts the nut) unwelded because I was pretty sure I would need to tweak it after welding. And because you aren't torquing them to 90ft/lbs or anything crazy. I was originally going to just make 2 flats contact the nut...

I ordered the same ones, and they were sitting on the front steps when I got home last night. Got them put in about 1:30 AM and I was beat, so no pics.. They are certainly brighter than the OEMs... I think you will like them.

I don't know man... this reeks of wizardry to me. Be careful who you tell about this, they might burn you at the stake.

Couldn't find a 54mm socket anywhere, so this got built quick and (very) dirty.

Super high tech bung wrench.

06 dodge diesel power steering hose removal/install tool. Use with about 2' of extensions, and 3 hands if you've got em.

I never got the concept of risking an unintentional oil dump in order to save 4 minutes and a 2 paper towels a year.

With the advent of the cordless grinder, nothing is really "secure", but it is worth making the effort. I know some of the snowmachine guys were rigging up full-blown security cameras for their moose lights, because their trucks are often parked at isolated lots for a couple days. I'm not sure...

1. 1996 FZJ80 2. Chris 3. Canyonero 4. 178K 5. Only PM stuff so far. I did pull the running boards last weekend (don't pretend you aren't impressed). Mid-term plans will be bumpers, 2.5" lift, and 33s or 35s. 6. Daily/Trail/Camping/Hunting 7. Unable to post pictures due to lameness.

Can you send the 2015 price to me as well? I'm just looking for the front set at the moment.
