I need that interior! - mine is the same but worn out. Damn hard to locate, so take extra care of yours.

I plan to keep it pristine for sure! I will likely get some escape gear seat covers for the fronts.

EDIT: what color is yours?

 

[Colbino]

Mine is green with tan interior

Finally got to the diffs today. Front diff fluid was darker than the rear, and the magnet had some build up! All plugs replaced with wits end so the next time should go faster.

Snagged this 2.2 kw starter! This will likely get installed when I overhaul the coolant system. Now to find a 150A alternator...

This thing was advertised as a “NOS” Remanufactured starter. Just cracked it open. It definitely has new contacts/plunger etc...

well I took 3PO out on his first “loaded” adventure... all I-35 with this trailer, mostly loaded with household goods. Averaged 13mpg over 250mi. Temps got up to 203 a couple times.

Made some progress on the much hated roof rack today. Off to the body shop Monday.

Just added this to my watch list. I've been dreading roof rack removal work, but it will have to happen. Thanks for sharing!

Honestly it hasn’t been that bad. Dropping the headliner was annoying. Not hard, just tedious. I’m getting the holes welded up and painted, I drilled out the nutserts and luckily there’s no rust to worry about. I highly recommend the “monofilament saw technique” when it comes to removing the rubber track pieces under the metal ribs.

Thanks. My 80 is from 93, and all accounts of dropping the headliner appear to be advising against it. So I may end up going the JD welt route.

Back from the shop!
