Nice work on this one. Well proportioned and mod priorities!
On the frame descale and rocker fab, did you DIY?
I think I saw you at the fall crawl. Your 80 looks great!! How do you like the dobinsons? I've got ome 2.5" mediums now but I think by the time I add a bunch of armor I'll need to upgrade
I thought I’d read that you had the rocker panels cut and fabricated
Is that your shop? #goals. I'd kill to have an outbuilding big enough for a full sized lift.Several of the Spring maintenance items completed this past weekend and a couple others that weren't on the list!
oil/filter change with Blackstone sample taken (Mobil 1 5W-30 High Mileage and Toyota filter)
PCV valve and hoses replaced using the Wit's End kit
Oil Sending unit replaced so all gauges on dash are functional again
Installed the ARB turn signals
Installed the Slee Off-road A/C Dryer armor for ARB bumper's
Reattached factory front mudflaps
And FINALLY reattached the rear passenger fender flare.
Need to gather supplies to replace Power steering hoses, drain and fill the transmission and replace the Charcoal canister...

Fellow Virginian, jealous of the CO move. How are the 4.88s on the highway with 33s?Wow. I have not updated this in awhile...time flies...
The truck and my life have changed quite a bit since March 2022!
I took off and sold the 35in Cooper's, and went to a 2in Dobinson's lift and 33in Falken Wildpeak AT3's. Life is so much better especially with the 4.88 gears at elevation. I do miss them sometimes...but couldn't imagine dealing with them on I-70. Added a Safari snorkel as well. More importantly, I packed up my s*** and moved to Colorado last year around this time. Since then have been enjoying CO trails as well as Moab! Triple locked and with a fantastic spotter (@, she and I walked up Hell's Gate like it was nothing. #just80seriesthings
Mileage log as of 7.31.2023 - 270,600
Added a Double Din carplay head unit and Retrosound front speakers. Subwoofer install pending as well.
Need to tighten the A/C belt I think, getting some intermittent squealing but she blows cold otherwise?
New rear exhaust pieces went on this weekend from good ol Rockauto after I crushed and broke the s*** out of the system in Moab...oops.
Other than that not too much to report. Still doesn't burn or leak a drop of oil between changes (which I credit to the @OTRAMM head gasket replacement/engine work).
I am trying to find time to take her to The Rust Doctor in Grand Junction...has anyone here utilized their services by chance?
