Little altitude - (1 Viewer)

[tucker74]

Getting the 80 ready for the LSLC Roundup next week - finally got around to installing those 850/863 springs (1" Mr. Gasket spacers up front).

Don't have any good before pics - I like it though!

yea, yea, not bad for a white rig....!

 

[willmaxr]

clean looking rig. looks great. did you cut and turn your cat? until my little guys get big enough, they really use the boards to get in and out. but I really like the look without them. functional. clean.

Nice Rig, little bit of attitude w/ the altitude, eh?

Tech ?= Spacer necessary to even out with these springs? (only mall cruisin for now)

Cool - so that's 5 80s that I know of, we should be able to find some trouble w/o much damage I hear Katemcy has lots of wagon friendly trails ... see you guys there!

It's a '94 so the cats don't hang nearly as low ... and the exhast is routed up over the frame instead of below. I'm really thinking about a set of Slee's new step sliders though - usefull and stout.

I personally questioned Nolen as I gave him the application for Roundup. He has told me several times that it is "wagon friendly" and "your wagon will do fine". I will squash the little guy (he is the same height as me) if he is wrong, and I do know where he lives!!!!!

I am sure we will do okay. I have had mine out at Barnwell Mountain (Gilmer) and she did okay. I didn't run any really hard trails. We have been to Moab and northern Utah. She never missed a lick. She is my daily driver so I don't want to break her.

I will be joining you on the trails in my stock 80...see y'all there Wed!

 

[M-80]

Mine is stock too, except for bigger tires. I am trying to pack right now. Yuck!

Some add the spacer to raise the front end a little. Personally, I don't think it looks too bad without the spacers, but some don't like the "stink bug" look. I don't mind the rake especially since I know I'm going to load the cargo area up with a lot of stuff when I wheel. With it loaded up, the rear end levels out.

Make that five 80s. I took my stock 80 there last year with the running boards on. On the wagon friendly trail, I bent my running boards to the point I had to remove them. On the entire run, this was the only spot that will give your stock wagon a problem. If you have any lift you shouldnt be concerned. I have not been back to Katency since last years Roundup so I dont know if anything has changed.

PS. I had aired down for that run and had a lot in the back and drug my trailer hitch more times than I can count. Second day I was aired up, dropped the spare tire and only had a cooler back there. Hardly drug at all.

]Buckru: That's some good info you provided. Thanks. The running boards are gone already.

Hi-Lift mount - threaded bolts welded to the bar w/ wing nuts. Secure and out of the way

Nice. You you have a pic with it attached?

You may want to leave the boards on. I took mine off and put a nice dent below the drivers door, wish like hell now I would have left the boards on and just bent those. And if you do bend the boards I always have a set to sell you

And just a note, I also have 1" spacers on the front of mine, but got mine for $16 at advanced auto parts. Ran out and took a quick picture, an't that great but with the 1" spacer, full tank and no spare tire, it still has just a tiny amount of stink bug.

Nice rig. Looks a lot like mine. Have fun at the roundup!
