What are your thoughts on air circulation behind that panel in regards to cooling of compressors, amps, etc?Mounted a second Viair 450C to my new Quarter Panel Mount. Ok the compressor is for a customer but needed to test fit. NOW I gotta figure out my wiring

My thoughts are that it's better than under the hood. Tons of folks already have this gear back there. Otherwise I'm not sure. I am considering a small fan.

Tired of looking at the stupid unfinished gap between the ARB drawers and the second row seat. Plus I wanted a little bit different with the SB50 plug for the fridge. So...

Interesting stuff I found out... if you mess up that wacky hub nut lock screw, just make your own.
I learned why my parking brake wasn't working.
Well greased brakes don't work that well at all.

Got my weekend srarted with a call from my youngest. First breakdown of an 80 for me, except it wasn't broken just out of gas! "I thought I could make it!, the light only came on yesterday"
. All good, got to see her before school which I usually don't cause I leave too early, got to rock out some of the new Foo Fighters album loud as h*ll on the drive, saw a killer sunrise, and got out of the shop for a minute which is just south of 100° at 7:30 a.m! Whoo hoo, Friday!!

What are the tie down rails in these pictures? They look adjustable...

Knocked out a dent that I received on Coyote Lake during Labor day weekend.
Started the weekend with White Knuckle

The rails are l-track from US Cargo control. End caps I make and are on the website. The rails themselves are bolted down, they need to be. Its just the l-track clips that are adjustable.

The first step in tearing down my front axle and pulling both the front and rear 3rd's to regear to 4.88's. $50 well spent to steam clean all the grease, mud, and muck that was built up on the knuckles. Now, the real fun begins...
Sick and tired of my outdated scion radio and blown stock speakers, I got a refurbished Kenwood excellon Bluetooth deck and pioneer speakers for the old wagon.
Got the pocket under the deck but now there are gaps from my dremel work to fit the scion radio... oh well. Pics or it didn't happen.
I had to go outside of the door panel since the speakers were not a "direct fit"... they look and sound amazing.
Notice how much cone is missing from the old speakers.
Way more noise than I need hauling the chillens around and bumping around in the hills.

Told you so!

Would love to know your process as I’m moving to the rust belt in short order.
This looks awesome. Been thinking about doing the very same for the past few months now

Simple. Dilution is the solution to pollution. In other words: Wash a lot, frequently. For years I would lay underneath my 92 in fisherman's rain gear with goggles on and pressure wash (lightly) underneath. I would use warm, not hot, water. The past two years I've used two oscillating sprinklers that I "t"d together. They sit about about 4' apart from each other. I set them under my 80 and I turn on the sprinklers and let them spray back and forth for about 15 minutes. I start with one sprinkler at the front bumper and the other the 4' back. Then I move them 15 minutes later and let it go for another 15 minutes. 30 minutes total.
