@benjrblant what pass / trail are you running there ?

Some FSR trails in the Grand Mesa area/ Western Colorado.

A little warm today to be installing my tailgate lid. It is 111° right now and my power tools keep getting to hot.

Starting to really like the black fender flare look on the white 80.

... and practical too, scratches, scrapes & dents don't show

Me too - starting to wonder how it'd look on the brown-y beige-y whatever colour this is..

Spotted this 80 today near where I live. Very clean. Makes me feel bad about how mine is.

Finally got the AC in my 81 working. All it took was a new compressor, drier, expansion valve, new/used condenser, and new/used evaporator. Plus 2 fills, one which leaked out.

I like it. I did it on my 92. It's my avatar.

Was 110 after work today, good time to test the cooling system so I took the city route home
Hottest I saw

Mine typically runs 197 when it's 110. Today it was recorded at 119 and I was running 202.

I called it quits when it hit 114˚ and the neighbor's cat started giving me advice.

I tried to start earlier, but work-work got in the way. I tried to be super conservative cutting knowing I'd have to trim a lot. I didn't take into account all my tools getting too hot. I'm hoping the angle grinder will make short work of the minor adjustments tomorrow.

20.7 miles per gallon?!!! That has to be photo shopped or you are going downhill.

Easy fix.... pull the switches out of the door jams, take apart, clean, and re-install. You can do them both in about 30 minutes.

Awesome! Weekend project! Thanks

Does that mean I should STFU complaining about the incredible heat we have here this week?

That is about 20 degrees cooler than down here.

 

[Dragos80]

You got a heat wave in the Bay area?

I was seriously cussing the moment I woke up till I got to bed for the past week or so.
It's humid though. That can bring a whole new dimension to this game.

I've had mine unclip before and nearly fall off. Now I run the beefiesr zip ties I can through the plastic clips once it's on.

Good call. I'm all over that.

Stopped by there on Sunday, looks like I just missed you!

Yeah! I'm stoked on the new "furniture". Had a great time exploring.
