What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (80 Viewers)

Did you order the right planted brackets? There's the normal then scheel mann/cobra version I believe. Didn't have any issues with mine.

I did. I placed the order directly with scheel-mann; they ordered the brackets. Interestingly enough, when I placed the order, I specifically asked about receiving the correct 80 brackets. At least I had, on hand, what was needed to make the changes.

@TXMeatball PS went in without issue. Plug and play with the Planted template. Zero fitment issues vs the DS.

Not mine. But thought it was interesting. 80 portals in south America.

No pics. But got my sunroof closed again. “It has a broken cable”. And found an old post about removing the pins so the switch doesn’t work and the light still does.

Finished up the front driveshaft U joint replacement. I've never done U joints before, it's more of a hassle than I thought it would be until the Tiger tool showed up. As far as I'm aware they are factory from 31 years ago and 340k miles. Getting the driveshaft to break free of the transfer case also took some Kroil and a few whacks of the hammer.

I'll do the rears when I have some time in a few weeks.

What's a "tiger tool"?

The best $90 I've spent on a tool.. Made in Canada and makes U joint removal a breeze in comparison to socket/hammer/vice/C clamp, etc..
