    I want my 80 to last forever, but...

    I was exactly here back in 2008. Short story, every year I put anywhere from $.5k-$2.5k in and not once (even close) have I regretted going down this path. My formula (not for everyone): buy PO/low miles engine over lockers, dial in baseline/reliability before upgrades, match your upgrade spend...

    Daily Driver Snow tires

    On my second set of Bridgestone dueler revo 2's. First set went 40k and would have gone for another 5k+ had I been more attentive to alignment and rotation. Never failed me in snow 1" to 2' and good on ice. I don't do much on rock -- trail to Bowman and surrounding area is about it, but have...

    Mudflaps: good enough for sprayed rocks? Bust on big rocks?

    As long as we're talking flaps, any pictures of fronts when no flares exist? I recently removed flares and have new paint so am thinking I should put flaps back on and take off when off road. Experience here welcomed. Thanks.

    to spend the extra on premium

    I would occasionally get a check engine light on 87 with one of the knock sensor error codes. I switched to 89 years ago and the only time I ever get the check engine light is when I buy gas from questionable sources (I.e. may be 87 or worse). It's like clockwork. It might all be happy...

    What Roof rack for a Canoe?

    Been going from Bay Area CA to Sierras for 15 years with my 16' 60 pound canoe. Last four with LC, Thule bars, and Thule canoe kit (nice cam straps and bar guides). I like to fish when weather is bad so often hit high winds and have never had a problem. I do highly recommend front and back...

    80 build progress 6M1 to 045

    It took about 4 years for the train to leave the station, but my 80 build is finally starting to chug. On another thread, I invited opinions on color. Well, you guys probably could have told me that the white my :princess: wanted would be the right color. It's where I ended up too for paint...

    Thanks to all so far for the help. Given comments, here are some more assumptions: - planning to paint jambs and hood but not likely bay if color change - NO oem flares, rack/ribs, or deflector - current interior is stock brownish carpet and tan worn leather seats...at some point going to...

    EGR and P0401

    At least for me switching to 89 made all the problems go away. The only time the light goes on is when I am in Tahoe and stop at a tourist gas station selling 89 that's really 87 or below.
