What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

[Overlandeffex]

$50 and 6 weeks later, I received my dual voltage monitor from SolidKit Australia. Will be nice to keep track of volts while camping instead of breaking out my voltmeter all the time.

That looks awful. There is no excuse for that. You should be ashamed.

I just posed this question on EP whats the advatgaeof a safety hub say over BS breakers?

For me I have had that blue sea panel in my tool box for 3 years. I wanted to get rid of all the fusible links. Mine were falling apart. Now I think it will be much easier to add stuff as I go.

Yea the more I research it I think my bussman fuseblock does the same thing

Replaced a bent radius arm, redid the brakes, and modified the front swaybar disconnect brackets as part of the prep for SW-Adventure 2019 and Cruise Moab. Still have a long list to get done this week.

Probably was good to replace the arms anyway since the rear bushings were pretty shot. Looks like the eyes/bushings had started to stretch as well.

Best I can tell, I have close to 100k on the o2's that were changed out around '07-'08 before I started keeping records. Gas mileage has been suffering the past couple years. Hovering around 10mpg. So I changed them out and relocated them to the PAIR valve ports. Besides 1 PAIR valve stud that backed out with the nut, process was pretty quick. Had the o2's out, original ports capped and relocated in about 30 minutes.

What's the advantage/purpose of moving them to the PAIR valve locations? Did your mileage change with the new O2 sensors?

Easier changing in the future. Not sure about mileage yet. First drive was this morning. I should know by about the end of the week if they helped.

A couple weeks ago I took a trip with a local Toyota Truck group to visit Blue Ridge Overland Gear. They gave us a discount for setting up an event there so I took the opportunity to buy a few organizational items for the 80. Today I finally started playing around with some of the stuff I got..

MOLLE seat back with storage pouch, fire extinguisher holder, and trash bag. Fortunately i don't have many people ride in my back seat other than my toddler:

FYI MOLLE stuff attaches pretty good to the shelf attic rack. Will probably move a lot of this stuff around till I'm happy but at least it's easy:

Also picked up one of their small tool rolls because my wrench roll kept spitting wrenches everywhere. Pretty impressed with this one:

Knocked out Brake Booster and a PHH job in 2 hours. I figured not bad since this was my first for both.

Thanks to @OTRAMM for the solid video tutorial.

Attached couple shots of access to the PHH with the booster out. I'd almost recommend removal even if you dont need to change it out.

Cheap REMAN the PO put on. Replaced with a Seiken from Cruiser Yard / @arcteryx

PHH replaced by the PO. Didnt know its history so I bypassed.

Clear shot of the PHH. Hardest part of the whole ordeal was breaking the lower mount.

After much prep work I finally got it sprayed. Paint matched pretty well... but not perfect. Now to finish wet sanding, buff, and reassemble. Just glad to be rid of the peeling clear coat
