We installed Christmas, finally!! I failed to take progress pics bushings, brake boosters, & Dobinsons caster plates. Death wobble gone!

This thread was a huge help, thanks for the effort. we are having a low beam issue and worked our way through the obvious stuff like grounds & relays. Thank you for your effort on this repair right down to the individual part. We have a parts 80, we will start with the cleaning the whole...

We are having the same difficulty with death wobble. We installed an OEM 3” lift kit by the book; we relaxed and measured to ??properly?? Set the OEM offset bushings. I know the caster is currently -1/2*. I believe I can rotate the offset bushing to gain some offset; were you able to get to 6*...

I hope so, all depends on kids sports stuff. Is there a date out there? I’m also anxious to go down and do The Loop at the lake.

Yea the HS auto shop teacher gave up on it. I had sent an email because it’s been sitting for nearly 2 years. It’s ROUGH, out of my league for work required but a ton of parts and complete. White LC back on the road and about to head out for a float trip!

Another big weekend of tinkering! We chased down a blown fuse for the EFI, went ahead and swapped the fuel pump, changed the vacuum hoses on the fuel regulator, put the rear interior back together, and scored an abandon 80 series project for a song!!

We are out and dead in the driveway. Our ECM spit the bit. Safe Travels all.

So today we took apart the passenger door and repaired the regulator mechanisms . What I assumed was going to be stripped gears was simply a knuckle coming out of a track-ball, reinserting the glass in the drive frame gasket, and modestly straightening the inner most track frame. It was a good...

The kid wants to be in. Ordering a new rear panhandle bar tonight so it will be trail ready. I will keep my eye out on further developments. Thanks for the calm out Built4me!

We put the 2.5 OME lift and Panhard's on our rig this weekend. I just called Burnett's. Super friendly and not intimidated at all. He quoted me $115 for 1yr and $175 for 3yr alignment warranty....How does that work given the nature of environments these vehicles get thrown at! Anyway, another...

Is there a target date for a May coffee gathering or are all gatherings ride/trail oriented?

Another 80 Series saved from the crusher! We are so happy to report that it is back on the road. We got it buttoned up just before our son’s 17th Birthday. We can’t wait to catch up at a meet and talk shop about all the work we tried to do and all the work we had done. Still have the lift to do...

Update: The powertrain is back in & cranked on the first turn of the switch. We still have A LOT to do. On the TO DO list is 4" lift (everything is broke loose), front clip, Seeburg muffler & cat (thanks thieves), calipers & brakes, rear hub-seals, detail the interior, & install new stereo/rear...

Well it has been a minute.....well 2 years but we are finally gaining....the replacement & rebuilt engine now has dedicated attention towards reassembly and the drivetrain should go back in very soon.....then all the other stuff should go on soon after. Not that a broken LC should keep me away...

Weve been steady tinkering on little things and it goes to the shop to get is new engine this week. It's all hooked up ready to delivery. Weve got the bumper, winch, & ARB lift kit for when the engine work is done. The 9th grader scored come quality used tires and prepped/painted/cleared the...
