Nope….the 80 in Granville was spotted, no idea who the owner is. It appears my brother is driving his 40 on his birthday. Seems like a good day to celebrate being free.

Your brother “spotted” your cruiser?

Spotted this 80 this morning on a drive to Granville. Looks well sorted for some adventure. Happy 4th of July y’all and happy 50th to @phishtaco !!

Changed out my front seat cushions and put on new seat covers. Also upgraded speakers, amp, head unit, and remote start alarm system.

Triple locked is just as dumb.

I disagree with them that factory lockers are worth more. Aftermarket lockers are much more reliable at this point.

Time for one of these? Only changed the oil once with it, but it is ohhh so nice! Ford racing filter, there is a bushing you can buy so you use the standard Toyota filters which I also installed.

Made it to Newfoundland! Uneventful 1,600 mile trip, except for a nasty valve cover leak. I pinched the gasket last week while troubleshooting my misfire (bad injector) issue. Picked up some parts locally and fixed it with a view. Camp...

Finally got the h55f installed! I initially did my manual swap last year and just did an h42 4 speed from a 60, it was much cheaper and definitely fun and cool. It was an adventure figuring it out in my back yard and making the parts I needed...

How much more could the cost of a timing set have possibly been when you already had the motor torn down??

Installed an Apex 12000lb winch on a HF universal winch plate. It took some cutting and drilling but it's in! The control pack is going to take a bit more fiddling to get in a permanent spot. Right now it's just sitting in between the coolant...

Another weekend working on the 80. Replaced a few bolts here and there, new bump stops, stabilizer brackets and replaced the front exhaust section for an upcoming inspection. Also refreshed the valve cover, very satisfying to finally clean up...

More of a summary of the week than the weekend. I finished my 2500 mile sling shot from Orlando to Bozeman, MT. I arrived 1 hour before the boy landed so timing was good. Along the trip I averaged 16.1 Mpg which on 315's and loaded with front and...

Post link, or edit it into the first post.

Yeah mine came with a full set of new plugs

Did the ARK product come with new plastic plugs for install? Their site doesn’t seem to say.

My slinky bypass shocks have needed some maintenance for a little while and I finally got a full rebuild completed by RLT Suspensions near Salt Lake City. I had an issue with one of the rod ends that had rusted to the lower shock mount in the...

Left and right lawyer might be jealous.

Incredibly moot point now.

So your place feels like that dealership?

What place?

Back together somewhat and off to my friends house to finish the mechanical stuff.

I found this weird cart for free at a ham fest. It held some rolling electronic stage equipment. I put my laptop on it and now I have a rolling FSM.

I haven't seen mine for years. I know it is on a shelf collecting dust. I prefer the PDF, and then print out what I need. Yes, I got tons of random FSM printouts scattered throughout my garage, with plenty of grease smudges. 🤪
