Had some fun in Ocala NF. IG: @GreenCruiser80

Started my fronaxel rebuild, it’s a messy job😅 I do have some questions I hoped you guys could have the answer to, can I remove left and right axel without destroying/making more work to the diff? And partnumber for this one, is it called...

fixed a leaky rear LHS axle shaft seal that made a bit of a mess of the hand brake shoes and then spent the day on the Goulburn river I must have got it early as the oil level in the diff hadnt dropped much

Dinnertime on the trail.

Got these today and installed them. Way better than stock now that the wires can be cleaned up. They hold strong on the battery terminals and feel like a solid product.

That is where I run power to/from the back.

@OffRoadScott Might be easier to route your power cables through this grommet. I routed my Toyobd1 cables through this opening and it exits/enters above your footwell. Take your glove compartment off for better viewing and access.

Yep....the 1st cut was "point of no return". I cut below the template lines and trimmed as needed.

Air saw getting a workout today

Great advice…mine on 35’s with a rear locker is extremely capable….and still fits in the garage!

100% ....35's are the sweet spot for a mild 80 series build. You don't really have to do much more than 2-3" lift and add the 35" tires and enjoy. 37's = slippery slope but worth it if the wheeling you will be doing is more than mild.

Why?

I will report back. I am just hardwiring it in now and will test further. I think it is a good option to be able to charge a lot faster than the normal 90 watts out of the 12v outlet. I am planning a month + long trip later this month. With the...

Yes have them in storage. If you need a set, Nayab Akbar can get you a refurbished set like new. Contact link below. You can check with other members if have any doubts, he definitely comes through...

Testing the Bluetti Charger 1 on a stock, original alternator and it works great in the short time testing. I thought it would bring down the voltage a lot more. I had the AC with the fan almost on full blast.

Do you still have the original Collector's Edition wheels?

About to turn 250k so thought it was a good idea to update the brakes.

Quick camping trip…

Spent the day on the mtn with my wife picking elderberries, looking for a nice bull elk, and doing some hiking.

Got another one back from the east! Long journey from Connecticut

Installed a set of One Stone armrests.

Replaced all the tie rod ends with one of the 555 kits from @cruiseroutfit set toe in, centered the steering wheel(it was off by 1/4 turn and drove me nuts) and did a stereo upgrade.

With @whiskeytooth's help, got the new OME 861/862 springs in along with a set of Koni Heavy Track Raid shocks. Rear suspension fought all the way because of rust. I'm excited to see how the new shocks are.

Well we brought our 80 across half of Norway for summer hollyday! I love the car! Still need a lot of care, but the engine is now working good, going to get some new injector in that just arrived yesterday. And a front axel is ready for some...

Did a father and son bonding with his 1st vehicle.
