Got a 2" receiver installed and an awesome bike rack to haul some fun around this island. Shoutout to Slee Offroad and QuikrStuff for making amazing products.
I finally got around to replacing my fluids.
Engine Oil - Kendall Super-D XA 15W40
Transmission & TC - Red Line MT-90
Differential - Red Line 75W90 GL-5
Sent my old engine oil sample to Blackstone Labs for analysis.
The upcoming weekend will be replacing the brake pads.
Took the Cruiser out...
Judging by that palm tree it looks like you were out here when we had some serious Kona winds from that storm that rolled by! If you make it out here again let me know and we can do peacock flats or ka'ena point.
I'd wager that isn't a military carrier but a civilian cargo carrier, the main...
Got the short fixed when putting the cruiser in reverse.
Finally got the truck fully registered to include local safety inspection...
Had FormulaOne nano-ceramic tinting installed, 70% windshield, 35% front, 15% rear including sunroof. Picture taken at Kuli'ou'ou beach park, Kaihuokapua'a...
You got it! I've been on the island for almost 9 years now. If you have any questions for your next visit (if you'll be on Oahu), feel free to send me a private message!
Took the 80 up to the permit-only Ka'ena Point Tracking Station access road to hike the Kuaokala Trail with the pups.
Although there is an advanced offroad track up at the top, we'll stay in the hiking parking lot until I upgrade the suspension/tires/brakes. Even still, we were still able to...
Installed the new Kenwood DMX958XR headunit.
Got rid of excess cables and power adapters left by the previous owner.
Had a Compustar R5 Pro installed.
Planning to take the 80 up to Peacock Flats tomorrow if the sun decides to come out.
My cruiser will see a lot of intense UV sunlight out here on the island. Took it in to get a ceramic coating for the outside and a resin coating for the interior to help fight against UV damage. The salt and sun out here eat paint and plastic. Went with opti-coat pro, and the detailer did...
Unfortunate news. There is only one plug settles into the back-up switch, and it is the one that shorts the 10amp Gauge fuse. There is a short somewhere along the circuit that I now get to discover, hopefully soon. If anyone has any suggestions I am all ears.
Okay. So I removed the undercarriage protection in an effort to get a better look.
Here is the back-up switch on the US Driver/JDM Passenger side.
Here is the main lead connected to the transmission on the US Passenger/JDM Driver side.
Here are three connectors that branch off from the...
Looking through my (late model 1995) engine (1HD-FT w/ EGR) bay I found a few electrical connectors that are loose and am curious about their purpose. Should I be concerned any of these are out of place?
Or, if anyone has access to a late model 1995 HDJ81 1HD-FT w/ EGR service manual, that...
I recently discovered my back-up lights are not illuminating when I put my HDJ81 H151F into reverse. This vehicle is a recent purchase and I am still discovering new things previous owner(s) have modified or manipulated. I did some research here on the forums and brought out a multimeter to...
