I was waiting for ya to chime in Sam! : ).

Wannabecruisin i dont think has weighed half ass yet. So we are not sure if she's even lighter ; )

Really hard for an 80 to lose weight. I think its a gland problem..

Whatever the "Kankle" equivalent is for a car the 80 has'em! lol, coilovers were the BEST suspension upgrade yet. I did a half ass job installing them and they are amazing, To truly take advantage of them especially if you're running 16+" of travel is to 4 link the rear and 3 link the front.
 
Guess it's about as ready as it's going to get for this trip. Big thanks to Bomar for all his help again this weekend. He got my tunes sorted out and the CB mounted. Spent most of the rest of his time helping me fight with the leaky ass beadlocks I got from my buddy Darren. I lost track of how many times we mounted, dismounted, repaired, and re-mounted these tires! I think we finally got them but time will tell. CDL switch is in and the 7 pin mod is done. Lots if little stuff done too like mounting a rear view mirror, replacing the glove box with an undamaged one, bolting down the storage tote and CO2 tank, etc. Pics to follow later.
 
Ready or not....

Sounds like we have enough folks going that we will need the PA system for the mini snake farm!
 
Well, not looking like my ebay back seats are going to make it for this ride. Seller had shipping problems so it's a two seater with lots of room for ice chests on this ride. Not a bad thing......:lol:

What seat did you get?
 
I'm sure I'll catch some crap for it but I always wanted to try a set of the old jump seats out of a Subaru Brat. Always thought they were kinda cool. I found a set in CA and they are shipping via Grayhound Package Express but have not showed up yet. Next bus will be in ElDorado around 11 so they may make it yet. Of course I'll have to see what it will take to mount them once they get here.

I mount them any way I can.
 
Well. the wait for the weight is over...she comes in at 4.560# as it sits without driver. The rear seats will add 35# so just round that off to 4,600#. Had about 1/4 tank of fuel so that will add some also. She's still a plus size model:o
