What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (90 Viewers)

[rolliges]

Cleaned moonroof tracks and gasket. Lubed tracks with heavy duty penetrating grease and the gasket with Sil-Glyde. Both super useful products.

Here's a shot of the interior with out the bed in. I also had to narrow the bed board as it was hitting the zippers when moving up and down..

Been going down a rabbit whole of wiring issues. Started these today.

 

[ToyotaDon]

Toyed with this idea. Dodge Citadel power seats. None of the mount points line up - well, right rear hole does but then front two are a bit too far forward (close width-wise). Like the look and they are super comfortable. They come with a bunch of wires but can disconnect one harness and they require just two wires - a hot and a ground to work - up/down, forward/backward, recline.
I actually already have a set of original primo LX450 seats I could pop in but I'm saving those for now. Anyway, PS seat froze all the way forward so this was an excuse to check fit.
Also have some BMW and Scheel seats (Scheel, before they became Scheel-Mann) I will try out when I get some mounting brackets.
Leaning towards Planted brackets.

Can you let me know once you decide you have an extra set? Mine really need help.

 

[Fiddynut]

Need some ideas, I picked up some stock wheels off a guy for a good deal but the insides are caked with old axle grease. I've soaked them in degreaser and hit them with a stiff brush/pressure washer and it's just not coming off. HELP!

Worked more on the exhaust. Tinted the sunroof. Plasti-dipped the hood clear to tame the sun reflections.

Built a swing out on the nwti bumper today, came out pretty good just to to add a couple caps on the tubing and add a couple more lugs to stop the tire from bouncing

 

[Cruzilla]

Today I built a step to cover the center console so it does not get trashed by being stepped on and wired the power and lights in the Alu-Cab.

Here are some shots of the step.

 

[Cruzilla]

The step is designed to interchange with my GPS mount, this mount is super solid as I welded it to a framework that uses three points of the seat mount bolts.
The GPS mount keeps the Step centered and stops it from being tippy. I was lucky to find that some OME bushings for my FJ40 were the perfect diameter to fit into the GPS mount, those are the Yellow bushings you see.

 

[Cruzilla]

Next we have the lights and power!

Looks like a great excursion....what rear bumper is that?

 

[Firerunner]

I spent the last four days replacing the entire suspension with a +2 Tough Dog kit (managing to break the head off one lower shock mount bolt, which took a lot of my afternoon to drill out and rethread 1/2-13) rebuilding the rear differential with Sierra Gear (from IPOG) 4.88s and a Zip locker, and rebuilding the front axle hub to hub with 4.88s, a Zip locker, MC seals and TG rubber wipers. Actually, I have one knuckle left to assemble, but that will have to wait until Wednesday.

I had the same problem with mine I wore out a couple of wire wheels trying to get 25 years of crud off. I ended up taking them to be sand blasted.

I finally got an arm rest.

[SUMMIT CRUISERS Jr]

Got back from my 2300 mile spring break trip through Moab/Grand Junction on Friday and rolled 419k miles in the process. Then we unloaded and I went out 130 miles to race mountain bikes and camp. Fired up the cruiser to drive home after the race and all of a sudden heard a horrible noise. I saw that there was 1/4” of play on the inner crank pulley. I drove 14 miles to a large highway area where my parents happened to be driving through on their way back from Arkansas. My dad and I attempted to tighten the crank bolt to no avail. Bummed, we decided play it safe and tow it home for further inspection.

Its mine. I had it drawn up on cad, cut out at a buddies shop and assembled it myself.
