What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

[fz1boxer]

Don't count on cool air. These valves do not shut off completely. A small amount of coolant continues to circulate through the heater cores even with the valve closed.

cooler,the valve was shot and it was blowing hot air.

i could see daylight through it when closed so yea anything would be better

Nice!

Went through this hole at Silver Lake sand dunes a couple of years ago, water over the hood. The two guys trying to follow me both took in water and hurt their engines! I tried waving the first guy off but he ignored me.

Lol.... I’ve seen a lot of trucks die in them holes at Silver Lake! They surprise people ... they look like mud puddles!

Pulled off my ARB bumper over the weekend. (dropping it off to new buyer in 10 min). What do you think of the Chrome bumper from my son's 1980 minitruck as a replacement? Sweet approach angle!

Thanks! It’s really nice for cold weather. I just crack my windows so I get a little breeze coming through. Also have a co2 monitor to be extra safe. That night I was having ramen and the hash browns haha.

I noticed your bare feet. You had been snow boarding and the windows were pretty fogged-up. What was the temperature in the truck at that time?

Why did you decide to let the ARB go?
What will the next bumper be?

Had a long weekend BUt got the oil pump leak Fixed crankshaft seal fixed, new radiator installed. new hoses(no sillycone) new belts, new 150amp Alt using @Photoman bracket pulley and ever so patient help and hooked up with a mud member that stopped by my house to grab up my old control arms. I am now currently oil leak free and ready to roll westward again

Wish I could tell ya, but I only drove it about 50 feet. Need to do front correction plates and rear upper control arms before I hit the road.

Oh and get rid of the 31s. They look a tad....small.

Thank you! I’m “re-doing” the carpet this week, all I had were scraps from my last one. Then I still need to add my fridge slide (still making it), and I’ll have a 2piece shelf that will slide out to expand where the lift up door is (where the foldable, green picnic table is in pics) and trim it all out with aluminum c channel to get rid of that cheesy black house molding! Lol
