    Tire size blasphemy!!

    I put 235 85 16 studs on my wife's. Thought it looked ridiculous until the day we drove confidently to work passing a half dozen cars and trucks in various states of wrecked. We've had more icy days than I can ever remember and we don't worry about it. Tiny tires have there place (not on my rig...

    Gauging Interest - Rear seat extensions

    Yes. This idea would end all consideration of another vehicle.

    Ordered Husky and weathertech but decided on these

    Did they come pre cut to fit as the sight suggests, or did you cut them yourself? How heavy a material are they? Looks great, btw.

    VIBRANT Resonator completes the EMS Exhaust

    The same thought crossed my mind when I got this out of the box. Its about the same size as a stock cat. Also oval in shape, I think it could be put there without hanging too low. I don't know enough about exhausts to say if it would work as well or even better than where I put it.

    VIBRANT Resonator completes the EMS Exhaust

    I put it behind the muffler. The same idea as the factory resonator. Mine ended up just below the spare tire crossmember/mount.

    Turns out our radio does work. Not silent, but sounding good.

    VIBRANT Resonator completes the EMS Exhaust

    eBay listing: Vibrant Performance (1141) Ultra Quiet Resonator 2.5" We have the complete single cat EMS exhaust on both of our 80s. Mine is great once I shortened up the tail piece. However, when I drove my wife's the other day I was stunned by the drone and volume of the sound. She says...

    On-Road Snow Tires?

    I think they may have updated the Silent Armor tire and now call it Adventure. The SnowFlake(severe rating) only come on the LT versions. The size your looking at is an LT.

    On-Road Snow Tires?

    We just gave our Goodyears to my Dad in Boulder. Great tires in snow and for summer too. We picked up a set of Nokian Hakkappellita(sp) with studs, and wow, what a difference for snow driving. Particularly at intersections and parking lots, stop and go situations. Driving snow packed roads...

    EMS Powered Problems PLEASE HELP

    I have two 80s with EMS exhausts on them. I went in knowing about some of the bumps in the road they have had. I called regularly and doubled the quoted time(for my expectation) and wasn't dissapointed. Many years later I'm still happy. Patience is a virtue, and don't be afraid to call and...

    Toe in

    Beautiful rig! I think I also tried everything that you've listed. When I finally threw in the towel and purchased a new tie rod with new tie rod ends it made everything easier. I was able to adjust toe in easily and without worry about all the torque I had used to try to break the old pieces...

    Crazy rear bumper receiver hitch mod idea

    When I was sandblasting and painting my 4x4 Labs bumper I used the factory hitch temporarily. I flipped it upside, pounded in the ends of hitch to fit between the rails, and bolted it up. the tailgate could open fully, but was close to coming in contact with the hitch. I was only using it...

    Propps to Bump It Off Road front tube bumper!

    I had the cruise set at about 60. There was a car in the lane next to me and one behind us too. Two deer came down from the hillside, one stopped in our lane and one on the shoulder. I had nowhere to go, so I steered into the one in front of me, and briefly jammed on the brakes. My passenger...

    Propps to Bump It Off Road front tube bumper!

    Oh man, tough crowd. I'll get a pic of the fur on Sunday when I get back home. I pulled over to make sure nothing on my 80 was leaking, and the only sign it even happened was a tiny bit of fur. The deer spun of the road, so I let the sherif know where it was and went to work. The carcass was...

    Propps to Bump It Off Road front tube bumper!

    Took down a full grown deer at about 50 mph and have no damage. Only a bit of fur on the tow attachment points. The deer was killed on impact. Pretty much got her straight on. It was a solid impact. I hate to think of the damage if it was my wife in her rig and factory bumper.

    Stock wheel treatment

    Just FYI on the WheelsRims website. The price is great and the initial quality is tremendous, however the color match on the 40th wheels is slightly off if you are replacing only one, and after one winter the beautiful clear coat has started coming off in big flakes. It is looking worse than...

    Stock wheel treatment

    That's a beautiful rig. Did you do the paint process with the tires on or off? If off, how'd they hold up to mounting?

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Re-installed my 4x4 Labs rear bumper freshly sand blasted and durabacked. Then loaded up every possible thing we could fit and took the family to the dessert. This is what 80s are meant to do;p Loaded down we managed 17 mpg.
