    Stock 80 at the pipeline?

    There are areas that you will be able to go down. I went with my lifted 40 and was able to do more than a friend with a...*aaccckkk* jeep Liberty, but he still had fun and drove some of the trails. Take your time and eyeball the trail and you should be fine.

    Tow an 80* with an 80?

    I have, a couple times now, towed full size chevy extended cab pickups on my car trailer with my 80. The 80 had plenty of power to do so...I was able to travel at 70mph. Definitely consider braking distance and be careful. I regularly tow my other rigs, usually 40's and an occasional...

    Speakers for 80's

    I just came across an older set of MB Quart speakers that I had laying around and decided to give them a shot in the dash spots. It was amazing that the mounting rings were removable and the actual size of the speaker fit into the premoulded circle perfectly. Almost snugly enough that they...

    Check Engine Light issues

    A FSM is a good idea, I have them for all of my other vehicles, just not this one for some reason. Man am I slacking.

    Check Engine Light issues

    I have had my 97 CE for about a year and a half. I have not been experiencing any issues with it (except for the poor gas milage of 11.5mpg or so). One thing that I had noticed but never registered was that I had never seen a check engine light. Now I may be wrong but doesn't the light...

    Mpg

    Wow Your gas is down to $2 a gal? I get an average of 12.5mpg after I calculate for the tire change...I suppose it would be easier w/ the correction gear.

    power antennae fix

    You will need to buy a new antenna. Don't let a parts guy tell you they can only sell the whole unit for $200, the stalk was only $35 or so and wasn't too bad to replace. good luck.

    Power loss with 285/75R16?

    I have the 285/75/16 Firestone Destination MTs on mine. I have had them on for about 2 months. There is definitely a slight powerloss when daily driving, but where I noticed it more was in towing my boat. It seems to need more gas to maintain speed and it seems to search a bit more for the...

    S-10 vs. FZJ80

    I got all of the info from the other guy including his insurance. He wanted to try to take care of this outside of the INS company. I told him I would consider it, but if anything fishy happend I am going to deal w/ his company.

    S-10 vs. FZJ80

    I like the look of them quite a bit, I had them out on the sand dunes last week and I aired them down to about 16psi. They worked well. I can definitely hear them on the highway, and my mpg is down to about 12.4(adjusted) but overall I am quite happy. Oh, and the sidewall took the hit...

    S-10 vs. FZJ80

    I gotta say that was the first thing I thought as well. I think I may just go that route now. Hmmmm...Looks like about $800 worth of damage to me huh?

    S-10 vs. FZJ80

    I was on my way home from a week long vacation on Sunday, about 6 miles from home, when a guy in a S-10 decided he wanted to blow a stop sign and turn in front of me. I had the right of way (no stop) and he claimed he didn't see me in the 80 with a 19.5 boat in tow. Well it really doesn't...

    Hello all

    Nice rig. Did all the rear barn doors have dual wipers. I'd like more info on the lift you have on there.

    Cracking in "C" pillars

    My '97 with 97K on it is showing no signs of cracking on either side. I just put the OME suspension on it a couple months ago, I'll keep an eye on it to see if they develop now.

    bottle jack to install lift?

    While technically you could do it with the bottle jack. You should use this as an excuse to buy more tools....in this case, a floor jack. More tools = better!

    Steering stabilizer question?

    I had a heck of a time with even with my pickle fork, I was about to give up for the night when I decided to use heat. 30 sec - 1 min later it basically fell out. My suggestion.... Use heat.

    how close do u have to be for ur fob to work?

    My range can vary quite a bit. If I am higher than the vehicle it tends to work better. There is nothing that makes you feel dumber than walking away from your truck, only to realize that you forgot to arm it, and having to walk almost all the way back to it to set it. Grrrr...
