I was pretty active on Pirate for several years. Most of that changed when I sold my 40. Thanks for the compliments.

Thanks. I do some photography sidework from time to time. I primarily use a Canon 30D, with a variety of lenses.

They're not ideal. Pretty good with the grease and oil, little less good with gas. They are a little porous so lighter liquids make it through just a little.

I got them because a local warehouse store had LOADS of them for super cheap. For what I paid, I don't mind them at all.

Ask due to found days ago a Nitrile black box in ebay for less than 15 bucks that claims to be safe for mechanics and I bought just give 'em a try .. have take 30 min cleaning my fingers from grease and oil ..

Adam...I'm about to purchase a Thule rack system and have a question for ya. Do I need the model# 387 high gutter foot system (I believe 8" of clearance) to clear my factory roof rack OR can I still clear the factory roof rack with the model# 300 system? What model is your towers and what length are your bars? Basically, I want your exact setup. Any / all help is really appreciated...

My setup is similar to Adam's. Those are 300 towers. They just clear the factory rack. I run 50" bars, but it looks like Adam are bit longer, maybe 58"s.

Nice RIG!, I liked the budget ideas, I was contemplating the trail gear sliders myself, but wasnt sure exactly which ones to purchse, but your writeup helps... I have a good fab friend who can do some gusseting, so I can do some sliders for probably less than $325 total, that is my kind of price, $800 for some others is a bit too much for my budget 80, considering I paid $850 for the rig itself

Sweet 80 series man, I really dig it. I'd like to do something similar one day

 

[Box Rocket]

Here's an interesting thought...well, not really but...

You have the Early SF rear. It looks likes you also have factory R134a A/C by the position of the A/C dryer.

My 93 has the full floater (no OEM lockers) but the R12. What month is your 93?

So I've had to deal with some A/C issues lately (had to replace the compressor/drier) so I needed to verify the manufacture date because the compressor is different on '93s since it was a transition year. Turns out my Cruiser was built on July 4, 1993. How's that for being Patriotic?
