What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (71 Viewers)

[Irish Reiver]

Continued on my trip from Orlando to SoCal. Bumped into this dude in Grass Valley who gave me a good tip for my next stop, thanks Luke.

Had to stop for an amazing sunset over Yosemite

Headed to Alabama Hills to a fantastic spot. After days in the desert it was nice to see some water

Then for some known reason I decided to it up Death Valley....in July. Temperatures were close to 50°c (120°f).

Very nice work. Does CA keep you from using a 105 exhaust manifold and routing the exhaust inside the frame rails?

I have seen this by @bkcruiser but have not heard back from him yet with info.... I believe he is a Sacramento guy.

I'm willing to go this route, but that also eliminates the option of a 3link unless I link the driver side.

The pictured set up above is on the out side of the frame. You want to go over the frame if forced to be on the outside of the frame IMO.

Im talking about the inside of the frame rails for the win giving you maximum clearance.

Really like the cool factor of a console fridge but Im not willing to give up the space when I have a permanently mount full size fridge.

Been wanting one for years and so couldn't ever find a write up to know how to install but I've started a write up on the UK Landcruiser forum.

Very cool I will be following along

Apparently not enough!

Fuel filter replacement. Wasn't actually as much of a PITA as I thought it would be, did it in 2 hours without removing the oil filter.

I also cut open the old one, and it was pretty nasty!

Put in thicker drive flanges... Way less slop now.

 

[Technician1985]

Figured I'd mention the new flange is A LOT thicker, as in there is about 1/4" of birf sticking out of the old one, and with the new one you have to pull the axle out a good 3/16" before it's flush again.

You're using regular nuts as lug nuts?

 

[CJM80]

Replaced all the door speakers and also installed a remote locking kit. Plus close to finishing a new sub in the original location behind the panel. Also got the little to help with a bath.

Nope they're just normal ass lug nuts...lol...

lol indeed they look like normal nutz.

 

[Technician1985]

lol indeed they look like normal nutz.

I see what you mean, you just can’t see the concave part since the wheels are also concave where the lug nuts sit so it just looks flush.
