Could be. All you have to do is stick it in your ass.

Gotta speak up for the hir bulbs. Previous owner installed hir bulbs in the high beams but not low beams. Going from high to low felt like I was turning off my lights. I sure am enjoying the brighter low beams now that I have upgraded.

When I added these FIAMM Freeway Blasters a couple of years ago, they were $9/each at Harbor Freight. Now they are $16/each at JCWhitney. Makes the 80 sound like a big American car instead of a tiny whinny yaris.

Someone added a second battery tray to store a tool bag and I thought that was a good idea if you don't need a 2nd battery, but need more storage.

LEDs from superbrightsleds.com for the visor lights, dome lights, door lights, etc. My wife sometimes leaves the visor up and my kids sometimes leave the lights on in the rear, so having LEDs really helps conserve the battery. Probably less than $30 for all these LEDs.

More cupholders. I'm getting Land Rover Cup Holders for the front $55. Need to find a cupholder for the 2nd row and 3rd row.

You can change all your door speakers (4) for about $100. I got Alpines.

Center diff lock switch.

Thanks for the info. Is this the square looking switch in the middle of the dashboard next to the antenna switch?

I have that switch on my two 80's I thought that was standard issue.

CDL's been mentioned numerous times already, so I'll have to say AirLift bags

Definitely a MUST have when towing

Can you put them in all four corners?

Not for under $100 bucks

Well $200 bucks... I imagine the suspension would feel a little stiff.

Actually, the ride feels much more lofty

Although, that's comparing it to very saggy stock springs low travel

Not sure how much it would be for the fronts as you'd have to custom order those

 

[Devil's Slide Doug]

I have not looked into bags for my ome medium springs yet. I could use some for the occasional trailer towing.

Here is one for under $5. I painted my recovery hook Red. Cost - probably under $5. I had a can of Krylon left over from painting my horse shoes.

A/C Drier Mod is next.

Dedicated always-on 12 volt accessory plugs wired to the battery (with 10A fuses) - front and rear. <$15 and an hour to do both.
