What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (35 Viewers)

[sleepycruiser]

Replaced the green lights in my AC unit as one was bad. Used LEDs from Autolumination. Quick shipping and perfect fit. For the cluster the only thing I changed for now were the 4 green bulbs....with blue. Some before and afters below.

Amazing, Alex Carvallo can't get a bumper from California to Kansas in 6 weeks but he can get one to Pakistan !

Ya....I think it took 3 1/2 months to get it there.

I keep just looking at your rig. Will you share with us your mods? I see 2.5" lift, 315s, but your rims... what width are they. More pics the better.

I purchased it from some soccermom as it sits, so not sure of exact mods except for the 850/863j springs, front 1" spring spacer, and pro comp 252 fakey beadlocks. Im still trying to catch up on deferred maintenance / baselining. Search my previous posts, there should be a fair amount of different pics of the rig until I can post some up.

Quick question... anyone know if this PHH looks original or if it's been done already? I'm going to replace it anyway (looks like a fun job) but I'm curious if it's been done before.

That does not look like an OEM clamp, my bet is yes it has been done.

Clamp closer to the head looks like the funky OEM one to me. Can hardly see it though.

Edit: looking closer that clamp is not the correct OEM style that would be there.

I don't know but it looks rough. The worm clamp is definitely not OEM...

I'd move it to the top of the list.

What size are the bulbs for the ac control?

Two weekends ago. Checking out Utah.

Played in the snow and cut down a Christmas tree in Payson with some friends. Was following my buddy in a tundra and he was getting loose left and right while the 80 wasn't phased. Too fat to care about snow. There was a lot more of it on the drive up to this spot.

Spent the rest of the weekend gutting the interior out and installed the slee short bus bumper. Got a new carpet kit installed and am getting the seats taken to be reupholstered tomorrow. Should have the OME lift in by the weekend.

What size are the bulbs for the ac control?

Neoedge Type B if you just need the entire background lights.....you will need 3 of them.....they just twist out and the new ones will twist back in.

For the individual buttons....those require soldering I think.

The girlfriend and I explored about 20 miles of roads and trails around Jackson and then headed to the Atlantic for a sweet trail at the end of the day.

Looks good, but is there one missing on the lower right? Here's my dash after LED change

I thought the same thing....there are only 4, correct? It had that same issue with the stock bulbs. Maybe I need to turn the bulb around?

I spent a little time cleaning the lower plenum last night. The fuel rail and injectors are just sitting there. A few bolts and it is out. I was really tempted to pull my injectors to have them cleaned. Next time.

Those globs of ice look pretty treacherous... what kind of tires you running?

Haven't driven much lately. I seem to be a victim of the driveline ping. When shifting into Drive from Park there's a loud and unsettling ping like shooting steel. It doubled my concern when I attempted to cycle all of the lockers and got nothing from the front and rear. However, I did note that the center locks (I hear it) but there's no light on the dash, which from my reading on here would indicate an issue not with the locker(s) but with the switch that senses the CD lock.

Combine that with the reduced turning radius after installing the front driveshaft and my overactive imagination and analysis paralysis and you get a cruiser that has been parked .

Edit: I think I'll probably need to start a thread with many of my questions and concerns. Unfortunately when it comes to a popular and older vehicle search results can be hard to sift through.
