We broke camp early and hit the trail south. Just as we were leaving the park we saw that there was a "hard trail with a river crossing" so we struck out. I think it was Poison Spring Road and Dirty Devil River. Spectacular scenery. Unreal...

It's pretty bulletproof. I'm almost 6000 miles into this trip and the only issue was a rock breaking my rear caliper off. Edit. 6000 hard miles. I started the trip meter when we hit dirt in New Mexico. 80+% off road since.

The park guide says it takes 6+ hours to get to the Doll House. We rolled in in 5 hours and was back at Chimney Rock at rhe 6 hour mark. It's crazy remote here

The Maze is the least traveled part of Canyonlands. Permits are required to off road and camp. We are a 4 ship but they only allow 2 per site so we have Chimney Rock and Standing Rock about a mile apart. This place is crazy remote. The trail...

This morning we woke up with a heavy frost and shared the lake with some Mule deer. After breakfast we beat feet to Green River for gas then hit the dirt for the Maze District. This is the most remote ranger station in the lower 48. 59 miles...

Dollhouse. The Maze District. Canyonlands Utah.

MEO Bitches at Chimney Rock

5th stage. Ridgway CO to Vegas. Day one We are in Utah and there is snow

It is stone cold making that noise

Yeah the intake is fine. No vacuum issues. All exhaust.

Big let down. Fired it up and the same massive air leak is present. I thought the stock manifold had failed and just assumed the header/remflex would do the job. Well I honestly have no idea what's leaking now. I pulled the whole thing...

that is correct, this specs came in GCC, japan and other markets. it also came in the fj62s as well and a small amount if fj60

The thick pyle carpet was offered in some markets, I think it was with the VX trim but not certain on that - someone will correct me. I've pulled it out of trucks from Japan and the Middle East.

Bout done.

Nothing like last minute Lucy here.... Leaving for a week tomorrow and the header just landed. It's on and in place. Waiting for the Wizard to show up to glue the new to the old together.

Thanks for documenting this! I'm in the process of adding the hyperspark ignition coil to my rig and I plan to mirror your bracket/platform setup. Looks great to me.

It's 100% OEM but I'm not sure if it's GCC specific like the stripes and gold accents. I have personally never seen the thick carpet but that's not saying much, I've not spent a lot of time in 1991-1993 US market 80s

The little packs will tell you the type grease to buy. That and the little label in the bushing bags has the type. Can't remember

This one does not have them.

What all models had ice trays? Crazy.

Bonkers

Damn sure is Love to see the parts geeks find one of these

I am waiting on parts today so I decided to give the 80 a good interior deep clean. I've never seen a truck like this with the thick pile carpet This truck's interior is in absolute remarkable condition. Very little wear. The Saudis are...

Tighten it.

First time I broke an 80 rear axle flush with the locker collar. Usually they break at the other end.
