Played around in the mountains of Big Bear last weekend. Camped right off the trail. My buddy had a few unfortunate issues including broken shock, torn sidewall, broken transfer case, broken wheel, broken side glass. But he had a great time. Also dined in for the first time in 3 months.

Here's what caused the broken transfer case

After some quick measuring, the cutouts are all complete on the under carpet barrier. Now just have to make all the holes for the seat mounts and spray on the adhesive to lay down. Got a few PM's on what I was using for the material so here's some pics.

Were you satisfied with the performance and noise reduction with the boom mat? My 3FE 80 sounds like a tin can opening and closing doors and driving noise averages 74 decibels at 55mph with windows up and radio off. I don't even bother with the radio on most drives. Noise reduction is high on my list.

This rig is definitely quieter than my other stock 80's overall even with an aftermarket exhaust system.

Upgraded the Radiator during Covid but never posted so wanted to just put it up here to keep documentation. Have almost 10k miles since the install. Been running much cooler ever since I swapped.

Sad that snow camping season is almost over here.

Also added a few trucks to the stable in the last few years. Some of my neighbors don't appreciate the view like I do.

Picked it up from a local Mudder however did not see any logos on it. He had it stored for years but never installed. Whatever it is, it's been working great. Always sits under 190 in the city. Consistent grades with AC on is when it gets up to 220's
