Hey Everyone!
I think I’m finally gonna sell the 80 in anticipation of the release of the 250 series. Was hoping to get some feedback on fair pricing given the current market. Scouring recent auction results in similar condition (but sometimes higher mileage) broadly range from $25-$35k. Any...
Decided I wanted to try designing a customizable speaker cover for my 80. Here's what I've got so far. Have a few more things to tweak and adjust the alignment as well as finish the design on the little clippy things that hold it to the door panel, but i think i'm getting pretty close to 3d...
I was checking underneath the truck the other day while trying to figure out what the heck is popping/creaking under the drivers footwell. I have discovered that it only really pops (it's more like a dirty creaking/shifting feeling rather than a percussive *Pop!*, but anyway) when i'm backing...
Last weekend my power seat stopped working, and at the advice of the forum I checked on the seat caps. Sure enough, on one side there was no cap. I've got a 3d printer, so I decided to see if I could make it rather than pay 10 bucks for one. After a few attempts at getting my dimensioning...
Noticed today that my power seat was binding up and would only move a few inches or so before it crapped out. I unbolted the seat to get a better look and only the lead screw on the RH side of the drivers seat is turning. The LH lead screw of the driver's seat is stationary. Any ideas?
At low speeds (think backing out of the driveway, through a parking lot, etc) I feel what seems like light grinding/popping in the floorboard/pedal. Is this a sign that the birfs need servicing or just something normal with an all-time AWD with birfs?
I haven't been able to go get any dry ice to remove the deadening yet, so I figured while i wait for the weekend I might as see how well the rust converter works on what's currently exposed. Honestly, I'm a little underwhelmed, it just seems like it didn't do that great of a job. I hit it with...
So the PO said there was a little rust under the driver's carpet. I finally got around to looking into it and found it's a little more than little, but seemingly manageable. I've pulled the driver's seat out and started pulling carpet back to investigate:
There's a layer of adhesive-backed...
Almost positive I've got a bad ground somewhere in between the Rear LH/Rear RH Courtesy Switches and the Dome light.
As so many dome light threads have gone, the rear dome will come on while switched to ON position, but does nothing when switched to DOOR. Additionally, the little panel lights...

Some of you are aware my recent foray into Cruiser ownership (I bought an 80 today...).
Well, it seems that in another series of family-firsts, I'm taking my wife and 6 year old daughter on our first camping trip for the Logan's Run event. As such, really don't have any gear and need to put...
Formerly a Jeep owner, this is my first cruiser. I spotted it thanks to a tip from Rob and picked it up today. It's amazing how well the truck has been taken care of. Based off the listing i expected it to be in great shape, but I wasn't ready for what I found when I saw it.
I'll start a...
