Awesome, sounds like a fun adventure!
I would totally love to explore the dead sea and Masada area and see where the Yarden (Jordan river, means "The Descender") ends up -1365 below sea level

@woodsman 44 you are most welcomed just dont come in the summer LOL

i like the Jordan river look at this post What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? this is the beginning of the river near the Sea of Galilee

And this is the end of it near the Deed Sea Build Thread - my Enola Gay FZJ80 1994

Getting the throttle body cleaned. Should I replace any of these while I am at it?

Driving into the Judea desert night falls pitch black I pull the maps and go deeper into the wilderness to let Enola play with the big boys Jeep enemy territory

I arrive to the set point the nightly campground and off cores my friends are not there

No cell phone reception so I go to higher grounds and call them on CB they moved the camp to a few miles north and off course the Nature authorities changed the track so the map is useless

I unite with my friends just in time to build my tent and join the feast of beer, BBQ meat and bad jokes on women around the camp fire

Morning we go on a long trek south 3 passes on our way the last one has a detour not before having Arab coffee

If you had only rear locker then you would had no issues either, even unlocked you might of been able to make it with a descent line. Doesn’t look like there are spots where you will lose traction for sure.

You could of done it! My buddy’s unlocked 80 did something similar with 35 and 2.5 inch lift. The 80 is surprisingly capable as I came to find out....couple of times unwittingly.

So are you gonna talk or shoot amigo?? Rubithon is 5 months out.

@Qball it seems to me you have same small pain jobs needed on your 80?

Got started on the dual battery set up. Relocated the washer bottle and installed the 2nd battery tray I picked up used.

Installed the used WRX seats I picked up on craigslist.

Started painting my traction mats because I don't want a bright orange target on my roof.

Also installed the snorkel my awesome wife bought me for Christmas.

Life is good.

XTook a ride down to Virginia and had a new completely stainless steel exhaust headers to tail pipe installed by Ryan the owner of ottram hybrid

@FJP971 The WRX seats look great. I had a set from an 06 in my last rig. They really are awesome seats and can be had for a good price. After debating it, I decided to put new foam on my clothe 80 seats which I find to be comfy for me but if I ever wanted to have sportier seats, I’d be shopping for WRX seats. What year are yours from?

I'm pretty sure they are from an 05'. I do have to say that though they are more comfortable than my hardened leather original seats, they could be a little wider at the bottom for my legs. I'm 5'11" and 230lbs so a little snug. Maybe I should just lose some weight...

Yeah, I’m smaller so they fit me well.

Decided to take out the carpet to shampoo and pressure wash it. Depending on how it turns out, I may look into dying or spraying it. There’s some pretty nasty stains.

I also found 2 pens, 1 pencil, 5 paper clips, french fries, exo-skeleton of a lizard, chapstick cap, and $1.89 in change...not a bad haul

Post "after" pictures please

Hopefully! Just got my crawler gear installed, shocks should be here soon but need to address clicking birf and ujoints, also need front calipers replaced.

Then there is my 5 month old who is quite demanding.....
