Life has been crazy lately, haven't even touched the truck. But I finally did get to install my seat covers from @FloridaFJ80! Still have the back row to do.

Those look to be a good fit, snug.
Woah those look amazing! How much for a set of those?

Here's Frank's original FS thread, not sure if the price is still valid though...For Sale: - 60/80/100 Series SOR(Tuff Duck) quality Seat covers
Those look cool. I did the tan ones from Frank. They seemed a little plastic crunchy at first but are breaking in well. I like em
I gotta tell you, every person that asks me about an 80 series and how good it can be, I show your truck off and they freak out. It is totally bad to the bone!
Here's where Jose almost lost his legs...
What brackets are those on the white 80 holding the roof led bar? And I have to say I've watch you build your truck and everytime I see a pic I got to stop and look at it and say damn! Just amazing

Thanks, appreciate it! And that white rig belongs to AMMO. Those light bar brackets are DIY.

I was the only other green 80 on MET, it was nice to see the two rigs in person. I didn't think it was cool to pass you guys, but have to follow our leader to the cliff, plus there were few behind me wanting to get out of there fast. Cheers, and cheers to snow.
Hey man,
I saw your 80, nice rig and cool to see another member out on the trial....
But next time, stop.
Get out.
Introduce yourself.
See if you can help.
Before you follow your "leader" into a ditch... Or end up sliding a rig into someone because your just following everyone else.
We had that guy snatched back up and on the road in 5- 10mins tops...
Think about how long the day could have been with a life flight, and Sherrif investigation...
Again Jose and I were out solo, we pulled countless rigs back onto the road all day long. We are all out to have fun, but if we don't have some common sense and respect for the 4wd community we can all kiss it good bye.
Off soap box.

BTW: the above soap box was not directed at you personally.
More of a general statement, given that was not the best / safest place to pass. Down hill off camber, I had to stay mid trail to keep my rig on level ground for the pull.

Curious about the V-bar chains you're running. Effective or ineffective in the deep stuff?
Ya know chains are a whole different animal... What works today in the snow doesn't work tomorrow or even an hr from now.
I'll tell you this, in hard pack, cold snow that has frozen and thawed a bunch they kick butt. Like crampons!
In soft pow... You generally want more float, and less dig... I haven't run them in the fluff yet... I've heard they can help like a paddle tire.
Last weekend was someplace in the middle, not really fresh, not really frozen, a bunch of mush. They did well, I was running 50 PSI and went everywhere I wanted. Then again Jose followed me without and still got to the same places. So did I need them? Hard to say. But I've found when it's wet and heavy Cascade Concrete snow, our rigs just sink. They are heavy gals, and no matter how much you air down, (gone to 5psi with H1 Dual Beadloc's) you sink. So the added clearance of staying at road PSI and running gains seemed like a good idea.
That said once we could see pavement the chains come off quickly to avoid tearing the V's off.

Tyre pressure lowered?
Not with chains.
But that day neither one of us dropped pressure, I was surprised how well Jose rig did given street pressure and no chains honestly.
-A
Just I think, but was not particularly deep places under snow suppose ... :о)
How's the monstaliner holding up? Are you happy with it? I'm contemplating rolling it my 1984 Toyota 4x4,Amazing rig btw!
I never drop air pressure, and my rig does great. I have chains and never needed them.
