Got my 80 ........

[landcruisnman]

Well, I've got an 80, and am extremely happy about it. Been wanted one for a while, and this one just kind of happened. Picked up in Texas from a Lawyer that never took off road. Got it semi baselined and put a 2.5"OME with some 305 Coopers. Stripped off the running boards, brush guard and brake light grills. Got some Metal Tech sliders I've got to put on. Looking for a front and rear bumpers of some kind......got an IPOR skid plate coming soon. Having fun with it.

Exhaust

Had my buddy Richard at RPM make me some stainless exhaust. Came out pretty nice. Did I mention it's got Lockers....

 

[80BajaBound]

Congrats and Nice rig!

 

[landcruising]

Looking good, were did the wheels come from? I have not seen any like them. Was the exhast going south and in need of replacement or just an upgrade?

 

[fjc8871]

Nice rig. How much for the custom exhaust?

 

[landcruisnman]

The wheels are a craigslist buy. They're cruiser wheels from Japan. The exhaust was pretty old looking, and since I traded the exhaust for metal, I went ahead and did it. So cost $0 in a way. I barter as much as possible.....

Nice rig, loose the flares, they will be problems later.

 

[Dan2722]

Nice find. I like the looks of that exhaust.

 

[oc cruiser]

truck is looking good. what else are you planning on doing after the skip plate?

 

[landcruisnman]

Driving it!!!

 

[hawkeye]

Looking realy good. I like those rims.

 

[AdventureBuddies]

Those look just like my wheels I sold. Are you the guy that bought them from me in Tustin? They look great with the red.

 

[landcruisnman]

;pThat would be me.....thanks again for the wheels..I love em. I had the outer rim flat area polished.

 

[landcruisnman]

I can't get it to lock at all. It probably has never been in Low, let alone locked diffs....is there a way to jar it loose?

 

[Bluetribal]

Dirt parking lot and figure 8's I read works. But I don't have any lockers to un-stick.

 

[SOCALFJ]

Looks good, i dig the wheels!

 

[1973Guppie]

so when do you plan on selling it? next week?

 

[AdventureBuddies]

Cool. Glad you like them. I exercise my lockers and low range about once per month to keep it all in shape. The figure 8 suggestion should get them unstuck - then it's just regular use from there on.

Probally some "button" you have to push Pat - Get used to the fact it aint no 40 or a 55

so when do you plan on selling it? next week?

- my first thought as well.

 

[landcruisnman]

Quit pushing my buttons Tim. and Noah,
keeping this one
