[vancisla]

I had a blowout on a local highway and it tore off the back fender flares.
After submitting this to my insurance, it was a $3200 mishap.
So akarilo was
Nice enough to to help me mount his Old rear fender flares on mine.
The following pictures are pretty much in sequential order. I decided to rattle can bedline the flares and I am more than pleased with the results. $55 is much better than
$3200. Less the $500 deductible, I netted $2700. it helped
Pay for the new Goodyear MT/R
37x12.50x17's. Good lord those are expensive!

I did nothing with my 80 series this weekend, or the last few months of weekends.....but I've had a good excuse since I've been about 8,000 miles from my LC.
But I have seen a bunch of these pretty little Land Cruiser Prados all over Sri Lanka. Here's one that drove right past me as I was laying in the sun.....

Me wishing I had my 80 series to explore these remote beaches and jungle areas of eastern Sri Lanka.....

Hope everyone is doing well, enjoy your weekends!!!!

Went for a drive and an overnight camp with some mates for a photoshoot for a magazine

 

[Rob1983]

Had a 12HT 60, TD42 GU Pootrol, compound turbo sas'd ranger and the mag showing excellent taste with another 80 series despite the fact it was a petrol auto....

 

[Rob1983]

60 managed to get stuck in a ditch and I broke the front driveshaft, luckily @mudbludger had a spare one lying round in his shed

 

[Rob1983]

But it was all good with a roaring fire, few , and waking up to a clear sky, went and showed old mate a few old mines in the area on the Sunday, then back to the grind

@Rob1983 nice photos mate. Man would I love to come wheel down there just once.

 

[newtomelx]

What are those exactly?

those would be the Slee branded/spec'd ADS shocks.

 

[newtomelx]

@Corbet what pressure are you running in your Slee shocks?

Very nice. Let us know how you like them. I believe Slee offers 3 different choices for length. Which did you use?

 

[dogfishlake]

Just drove it to the snowmobile salvage yard and bought a repairable Rev 550 and XP Renegade 600 etec. Isn't everyone thinking snowmobing this weekend?

Nothing special; Learned that NAPA sucks for parts.

Found my AC line leak

and built/replaced a rusted/broken front sway bar mount.

Finally got out in the bush in the new cruiser for the first time, felt good to stretch its legs. Also learned that I need to spend more money on it. Surprise surprise...
