    Looking forward to your fix... Also, praise the Lord it didn't happen on the highway at speed.

    Really looking forward to seeing how those hinges work out for you. Hinges are the one part I'm just not sure about with doing this myself... concerned about water ingress at the mounting points.

    Finally caught up on this thread... had fallen behind. Just wow. So many little details plus a stupid-awesome drivetrain... so much fun. The end result is so friggin' sweet. Can't wait to see the Camel and Troopy build continue on...

    Rosen aircraft sunvisor to replace sagging visor?

    Good to hear... I should be doing a lot of work on the Troopy the next few months. This is on the list.

    Builds The Oddball 80 - Middle East GX Renovation

    Those cans are good for rejuvenating a system that has a slow leak and needs to be refreshed, otherwise they aren't much help. I'm assuming the systems was already converted to R134a, correct? If the AC was working, and stopped working, and only had 8PSI, you have a leak somewhere. Did it...

    The electric fan in front of the radiator will likely run all the time in the summer there. It’s driven by the AC and given your current temps I’m assuming it won’t get a chance to shut down.

    My 80-series could make ice. Look inside the console fridge... toward the front there should be a little sliding cover. Inside the sliding cover is space for two ice trays to stack on top of the AC coil. In ice mode... driving for an hour... it makes ice.

    Does your fridge still have the ice trays? I really miss my GCC Spec 80-series.

    Fantastic news! A big relief to have one off the import plates I bet.

    This is a pretty freakin' big deal John. I'd be pissed. And I'd let the foreman know you're pissed. This, on top of the guys not doing sealant after you told them to. Being pretty familiar with getting work done in the region, if you aren't firm and don't insist on what you want, you are gonna...

    One thought for you... you added an OEM winch to the front, correct? The 80 had different OEM springs depending on options/engine. Perhaps you've weighed down the existing setup. Also, have a look at your springs. My GCC 80 ended up with a broken spring on one side in the rear and it sat funny.

    Knowing the jankity ways they do creative things like "stretch the springs" I would stay away from this solution. Just my $0.02. Also, go OEM on body mounts. Solid prices and availability there in the UAE...

    This is a fantastically helpful thread. I'm getting ready to do a DIY set for my Troopy... and the hinges in particular were something I was having problems sourcing.

    Rosen aircraft sunvisor to replace sagging visor?

    Okay... seriously thinking about picking up a set of these for my Troopy. I know @jmlockwood did his Troopy and 80. The OEM visors have that clip that provides extra support when they are "parked" toward the front so they aren't free-hanging from just the pivot point. The Rosen's don't do that...
