I'm going to put that exhaust wrap on mine because the heat shields rattle and drive me nuts. Don't know how it will work but that's the best I could come up with

Nice job that 80 is going to look better than the day it rolled off the line! Did you solve the idle issue? I have the same issue

I have a depo passenger mirror that adjusts fine, maybe you got a bad one. Here is the one I have with the part number Depo 312-5407R3EB Black Passenger Side Power Non-Heated Mirror

I find that unless you have added sliders and bumpers using a hi lift can really be a pain, but the benefit of having it when you need a come along is nice. Definitely practice with it. One evening on a nasty hillside we had to do an axle swap we loved the hi lifts that night!

Since the bumper was mostly done I went ahead and finished welding and rattle canned it, I figured no sense trying to make it pretty if it's going to crack apart. At least it looks like I have something there so my rig doesn't look so trashy. I'll keep an eye on it and build a steel front...

That is looking really nice!

So I got a bit side tracked from the bumper and got a sub squeezed into my jack compartement! Pretty happy to have it in. I put a new deck in to have hands free phone use and got carried away... thought I should add a camera too. Rear bumper with swing out tie carrier is in line after the front...

I agree with ZackR, start with testing the vss. My speedo went out but there was nothing intermittent about it, and it didn't affect the cruise that I can remember. I did end up getting a new speedo, it's the first vehicle I've ever owned with 0 miles on the odometer

It's like 350 to ship the lc, the bumper is ridiculously light like 30 lbs. As mudgudgeon said definitely won't tow off it, I cut apart a receiver hitch and welded ears on a wrangler winch plate and bolted that up to the frame. I had the aluminum left from a sea wall so I thought it would be...

I'm considering lights when I do a roof rack, used a paint that I felt could handle the abuse from brush and tree branches also I liked the look

It was probably my wife or my mom they both grab it from time to time, I live right down the road . Should do a meet for sure

Thanks for that, I'm planning on adding a few extra gussets but maybe that will do more harm than good. I went the aluminum route to have one less thing to rust over here, having it weigh almost nothing was another big plus. Dalton, my lc is from AZ but I did get it locally, and I live on...

Not sure if any of you guys have ever run aluminum bumpers, I had some lying around so I'm giving it a whirl. One of my friends is convinced it won't hold up. If you have ever tried it is would live some input! Here is the mockup, and then a bit farther along.

On the road but no front bumper yet

So I did the logical thing.... Yanked the windshield and started sanding, and priming then painting. Finally the beast is back on the road sane color as original but with a flat black hood
