The crap you find when you clean up a little... :D
I don't even remember us ever having a newsletter, but apparently we did.
Makes me happy and sad at the same time.
I realized I’m coming up on the 10th anniversary of buying my 1989 BJ74, and figured it was time for a first decade report card and after-the-fact build thread.
In 2007 I’d been driving my ’85 BJ70 for 15 years. It had been the best vehicle I ever owned, but it was getting rustier and crustier...
Have a new-to-me '90 HDJ81, currently wiring up a solar install. I'd like to hook the charger to the secondary battery and use that one to draw fridge/ancillary power from.
Have now heard conflicting reports which is which, so anyone know for sure?
Has anyone mounted a screwdriver on their 80 series? Where did you mount it?
I have a Scorpion shorty I bought to install on my BJ74, had a nice mount built to utilize the old spare tire carrier bolts… then never installed it. Now I've bought an HDJ81, which I'd prefer to have the HF capability...
Posting this for a friend of mine.
Really nice M101cdn for sale, he had it sandblasted and painted it before he took possession about 10 years ago.
The paint has faded, but it's in great shape. He's asking $2200 cdn obo… boat not included.
Anybody interested pm me and I'll put you in touch...

Really nice M101cdn for sale, he got it from the guy in Abbotsford that had a bunch of them years ago. He had the guy sandblast and paint it before he took possession.
I haven't seen it in a while, but it was super clean. He's asking $2200 obo… boat not...
Anyone need stock 80 tires? I have three 275/70R16 Michelin Cross Terrains that need to go. I know nothing of their history, but they have some meat left on 'em.
$25 ea
And my 35s are finally going on, so I have 4 old time 255/85R16 BFG MTs... 12 years old, over 100,000 km on 'em...

I'm really happy with my new ATEB exhaust!
Giant difference over stock. I asked for 2.5" aluminized mandrel bent with an Aero Turbine muffler, and for it to be tucked up nice and high.
Well I got that!
Straight down:

I have a few week trip coming up, and I'm coming to the conclusion that waiting to win one in a raffle may not be the sure plan to acquire said fridge as originally figured. :D
I may have to break down and buy one. So my question to those that have 'em: transit bag, "nice to have" or "crazy...
Just in case anyone's interested, I see the north shore club is doing a course in January.
6 Saturday mornings then the test.
I might take it just to actually learn all the stuff I guess I only memorized (and subsequently forgot...)

Since there doesn't seem to be any announcement here yet....
Coastal Cruisers' Cruiser Days show and shine (no need to worry about the shine...)
July 10, 10-3, Deas Island Regional Park, Delta, B.C.
Always a good time. We had over 100 trucks attend last year.
Some of the Copper State guys had these at Moab and I had to have one. They are very cool. 1 hp peak, 3/4 hp running, 100% duty cycle, 1.5 gallon tank. Airs tires up pretty fast and can run 3/8 air tools.
Best part - only $230 US shipped to WA state, then taxes at the border. Cheaper than a...
Anyone looking for a CO2 bottle set up? I put this together a while back, and as usual, never got around to mounting it in the truck, It's literally never been used.
It's a 13lb bottle and regulator from Air Liquide. I don't recall how much I paid for it, but I'm sure it was too much :D
