I title this, sketchy s*** no one should do! Filler tube is done, im lazy and didnt feel like lifting the body to pull the tube, disconnected it at the tank, which has already been drained, stuffed a rag in the tube tank side, used a dremel with...
Drilled out the holes for the riv nuts to fit into. OTC plate is sitting flat now.
It looks like I'll have to trim about 1/2" off the front of the OEM shift boot surround to get it to fit.
Then took out the LH battery box and figured it was...
Really don't see the logic in using that route for running your cables to the rear of your rig. Harder to access and IIRC, it is more difficult to thread wire through there due to at least 1 90* bend and the opening is smaller.. Plus the other...
Then since I was in the mood to keep on cutting I moved to the fender.
The template that came with the Radius snorkel was pretty good. I cut on the small side at first and then shaved off a little at a time as I fitted the snorkel.
I'm 95%...
Air saw got a workout today. Started with the OTC transmission tunnel plate. It seems like it was designed for 80s without airbags as mine has an airbag module and some additional sheet metal on the transmission tunnel and it couldn't sit...

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.
The grommet that @efjayatee shows in previous post is the one I'm also suggesting. It's been a while since I replaced my antenna, and I don't trust my memory. My memory is kinda hazy about the hole you 1st mentioned, @OffRoadScott. Apologize for...
Decided to quit being a lazy fat ass today and get in the garage and check some more off the list.
Got the main fuel assembly out, you have disconnect the emergency brake cable, and take off the exhaust heat shield. Not to big of a deal, going...
They still tuck well, however I may need to go to a wheel with a different offset, as they sit pretty close to the frame. Has anyone ever had issues with 13.5 tires rubbing?
Don't update this as much as I'd like to. Got some new rubber today. 37x13.50r17 Mud Grapplers. Gotta test out the flex to see if I can still tuck em in the wheel wells like I did with the 37" Ironmans....
Made our way out to Ouray Colorado for SAS Stayed at our favorite campground in Cider City Sassy our we there yetSpent most of yesterday at the Ouray hot springs 😁
Chilln at the campground this morning
Has anyone tried running power to the back using the hole for the radio antenna? If so how difficult was it without removing the fender? If I remember correctly there is a grommet or pass through in the body/structure of the 80.
