I enjoy Valley Center until I have to drive to Escondido or San Marcos to do some shopping.
Got some wiring to do when I get home from this trip. I know lots of guys poopoo the cb stuff, but its what I am used to and most of the people I know run them. Maybe later I will do the HAM stuff if I learn enough about it. For now it will be run just as a cb.

What I did with my 80 today was acquire it, drive it 230 miles home, and test fit 35"s off of my 60
I've also spent 40-50 hours on mud this week trying to catch up on 80 knowledge! It seems to be the perfect mix of badassness, a/c and road tripable rig, and going farther into the woods than you really need to on 35"s kind of rig
I finished filling in the slots and painted the filler on my dual adjustable cup holder to make it look a little better. I received my front speaker custom made ring spacers from "Texas Know How" that allows you to use a deeper speaker like the new 522db polk audio 300 watts 5.25 which are 45mm deep in the front doors . I took the back speaker grill off to match up the paint to paint the rings that go on the out side of the door panel . When the guys down at walmart in the paint section knows its for your car stereo setup they go the extra mile to match it up ,they must have looked at 30 different colors of brown on their color charts to get me the right match . All that time for a 6.00 small can of paint but the got it dead on . Texas Know How said to sand and smooth a little more on the rings where its going to show but he went to 300 grit so I just pained it a few times and I think it looks great .Here is a pic .

They were needed to keep my springs in place due to my shock extensions.
While others may pose for poser shot mine happen on the trail.
Here the action video of my line on the trail that led up to the picture. Starts at 2:10
One of the better pure wheeling videos I have seen on Mud. Always nice to see what a built 80 will do with a skilled driver behind the wheel. Phenomenal vehicles! What did you guys air down to for this run?
Nice video but I like your instrument panel bezal better..where did you get it.?
Thank you for the kind words.
I was aired down to 14PSI and the other guys IIRC were just a couple pounds higher.

That's not rust, it's Canadian patina...
Stock panel for 1993 so far as I know? - oh - do you mean the white faced gauges? Those were done by the previous owner - I believe they are just a sticker over top of the original gauge face. Looks like you can get them pretty cheap on EBay...

This just arrived from the Land down under (Australia).. Gonna be a fun project mating it to an H151F and putting it in the old girl..
Took mine out into the snow today. We went up the mountain (2000 feet elevation) and there was lots of awesome powder to blast through.
Got me a nice cup holder! to be honest after taking my dash apart several times the factory blank/insert finally cracked.. figured it was time for an upgrade!
Went over to my dad's and checked out his new 96...170k on it and pretty clean. Usual leaks that we'll take care of
Helped him with the front brakes and drive belts

Finally figured out why the 80 has been so sick! This fuel filter had only 24 thousand miles of filtration.
All was good until 80 got thirsty and decided to fill up at one of those one gas station towns in Wyoming.
It looks like the
gas was spike with oil.
