First Post - hope to make the gathering on 12/18

[1997 FZJ80 40th]

So first of all, hello fellow Mudders in the SA area. I have been meaning to post for some time and will try to start making the meetings. I have been a lurker for a while and have conversed with some of you by PM, exchanging info, etc. I live on the NW Part of town outside the loop on I-10 (Stonewall Ranch) near Leon Springs.

I have a '97 FZJ80 with 160k in pretty good shape. Just installed Bump It Offroad Sliders (the Step variation) and purchased, but have not installed the 40th Anniversary leather kit for the first 2 rows from Shane on the Mud. I also was one of the first 5 to buy the a stock bumper bolt on tire carrier swing out From Flank on Mud. https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-...umper-mount-tire-carrier-interest-thread.html I Can't wait to install it, but someone rear ended me last week and I have to wait until I can get the car in and out of the body shop before I start my next project. At least they had good insurance.

I am very bummed to just now read that there is a wrenching get-together tommorrow, 12/11 and that at least one of you will be doing a birf job. I finally sprung for the 80 series FSM a few months ago and have been slowly knocking out things on my list. I have been trying to build up the courage to tackle a birf and front brake job. Alas, tommorrow is filled with family and holiday details. Hopefully there will be another wrenching date in the future - anyone else needing to do a birf job in the next few months?

I look forward to becoming more involved and meeting those of you who are active.

James

Welcome to ACLC! I wanna see those sliders and the leather kit. Both are on my to get list at some point.

If there is any way to come by tommorow try. We've got a front axle service going along with some seal replacements that seem to be the source of most oil leaks.

I wish I could swing by. If I can make the 12/18 event, you can check out the sliders then. I will bring the leather kit installed or not. Hope everyone has success with their projects today. James

Will do. It occurs to me I don't have any pictures. Need to rectify that and post.

Welcome James! We look forward to seeing you on Saturday...and don't forget those the new seat upholstery. The split in my drivers seat is driving me nuts! I'd like to see what the leather looks like.
