What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (45 Viewers)

[baldilocks]

finally got around to replace factory leaky paper clips and lines with a fin aftermarket cooler (thanks Joey for the idea) and -6an fittings and hoses (factory hp lines discontinued)..no more leaks.

I did this in 2017 but used the biggest cooler that would fit in that space. According to my infrared thermometer, system temps are down in the neighborhood of 40*f on a summer day on or off road.

Fabricated the brackets for my Range Rover seats in the Land Cruiser. It’s great to finally have armrest! Now I just need to get the seat heaters and switches wired up.

No leaks here, but "the coolness factor" has my attention!

I wonder if you beat me to the ARB on craigslist in Seattle. Nice!

Which “coolness” might thee be refering too?

The only coolness factor is not spending $$$ on factory paperclips....

Are you sure about that 40 f? Your transmission temps are cooler than ambient air?

The one in Kent? If so then yes!

He probably means they drop down 40f from whatever they are at, not down to 40f.

"system temps are down in the neighborhood of 40*f"

That’s makes a lot more sense. Lol

How much did you pay for your bumper? I'm thinking about selling mine for something else that's lower profile.

It was on CL for $600 "firm" couldn't tell you what he paid for it. Looked brand new, may have actually been.

I said fluid temps are down about 40f, meaning, lower than before. The cooler and fluid being discussed her is for PS not trans.

On a warm summer day wheeling Rubicon my steering box used to be 175-180ish. Now, 135-145 is usual. I put a heat sink style fluid cooler on the rig I had prior to getting into 80’s back in 2012 also. They might not be the best cooler available, but they are durable and easy to mount, and don’t require a constant flow of air to have some positive affect on fluid temps.

Note that I installed a larger heat sink than you saw in the @Marco Lau photo.

I pulled oak stumps and tested the flex on the 6 yards of gravel.....

Heard some rattle discovered it was time to replace the muffler. Both ends were cracked, something was loose inside, and found a couple pin holes in the bottom = done.

Replaced with the same (close as possible) Walker Sound FX #17853. It was a little challenging welding for me because I have it shoved up as far as possible. The sound is the same, very quiet with some slight tone.

Good to go for another 6 years. Cost is a surprising low @ $22 for replacement makes it hard to complain,

I removed the driveline to make the install easier and did a full service on it while it was out. No pictures because is a messy job and just want to get-r-done!
