What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (87 Viewers)

[b702012]

Saw this beauty today. LH drive. Pretty clean rig. As is customary, I tried to buy it. No such luck.

Also saw a handful of 80s on what had to be 40s that were 15-17" wide. Big ol' snow tires. One of them I recognized from on here. It was a grey one. Cool trucks for what they use them for.

Saw a few 70s and tons of Hilux and 150 Series (I think that's what they are here).

This is gorgeous country. I highly recommend coming here.

Xtend 750P after 4 years of uses I can easily recommend it as best in class for my needs.

Thanks!

On the one pictured it was an American Racing wheel. All of the Land Cruisers over here run a wide wheel/tire combo. There are a lot of mud bogs and snow so I'm guessing that is why.

Got the OEM wheels mounted. Looks much better IMO, but the guys at the tire shop were looking at my like WTF is this guy paying to put these old rims on for?

I think they look great! I've been thinking about doing the same thing with mine.

Above should be a link to the thread I started while I was in Moab. Obviously, my first inclination was that the pinion had broken. Luckily, I was wrong.

Oh snaps, literally.... Glad everything is fine now..

Yeah, I was sidelined for two days because they sent my first axle order to my house! WTF?

Decided to get out and enjoy it instead of obsess about PM and baseline stuff. Took the family to the beach to play.

Yes but not with the Turbo 80

Can anyone help me with a hydrolic height control issue?
Not engaging. Reseviour is empty.
I spoke to one LC owner who disconnected it, then put a 3.5 inch lift kit.
Does this sound like a reasonable solution?

Found some really nice interior trim snap thingys to replace all the broken and missing ones from my cruiser. Literally missing half of them, and most of the remaining ones were broken. These are really nice because they are a bit tighter and while it might be a littler harder getting them to snap in, the trim is held on tight and wont rattle or pop out.

Finally got my stereo, xm radio, led lights wired, blue sea breaker wired, twin air compressor plumbed and wired, backup camera, caster correction plates, brakes bleed again(wow, with man a fre 7 line brake kit, ebc rotors and pads and a good flushing, this thing stops like a Lamborghini!!!), interior reinstalled, new odyssey 1500 and a few miles on it it is awesome!

Not much for pictures, but damn I’m in love with this thing. Can’t wait to wheel it!

Just completed a 2500 mile jaunt from Minnesota>Black Hills>Big Horn Mountains>Yellowstone>Grand Tetons>Theodore Roosevelt Park and back. It was here I had a friend come visit me at my camp site. 10 Nights and the cruiser was flawless.

Parked at Overland Expo East. Oggled a bunch of other 80's and accouterments. Good times.

Ran the rubicon con the second time this month, but ran down old sluce aka fordyce.

I think they look great! I've been thinking about doing the same thing with mine.

Plus they are super burly. I love the stock wheels more than any other wheels I have seen on other 80's.

Gave my 80's roof rack a 350 pound workout. Seemed to handle it pretty good. You'rewelcome @LS1FJ40 for the free store advertising!

Since my 80 worked so hard hauling the roof load, I spent the rest of the weekend doing mostly this...

...and this

But not before making my 80 even more jelouse with looking at a potential new garage mate!

 

[Fj81]

Bumped into another 80 owner...!
Also scored a little stove and bbq for my truck

And not pictured here but I also got an awning for it! An expensive one.. now I need a roof rack!

Currently rebuilding my front knuckles, then it's on to new shift solenoids and tranny strainer, along with PHH (oh, boy!), heater hoses, PS hoses from the reservoir, and transmission cooler hoses. And probably some odds and ends in between. I can easily reach the PHH through the wheel well while rebuilding my birfs, so i figured hell, may as well.
edit: forgot to add new control arm bushings, all four tie rod ends, and a set of Bilstein shocks
