What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (66 Viewers)

[musthave]

Spent the night at Denver Creek. Tried fs266 but it was snow covered about a mile up. Rode lots of trails off of Willow Creek, Rock creek. Hit the proverbial end of each with huge amounts of snow. Boys got some trail time driving experience.

Its a HDJ80 View attachment 2003168that looks like a Troopy, Maltec expedition style.

Got the windows tinted for a cooler drive to Portland then off to the NW Overland Rally.

Last night in San Martin,Ca. on my way to the NW Overland Rally. Tonight in the southern Oregon.
Fast, comfortable and capable sums up the Maltec 80 series based troopy.

Whoever says the Land Cruiser isn’t environmentally friendly is a jerk

Well thats certainly a unique and creative way to windburn a new purchase. At least it was a conifer. Hope you didnt have to go too far.

@GW Nugget
Looks good!
Are those SLEE rear springs? Any clearance issues with the Delta bracket?

Higher clearance brackets are now available

I used it, it’s totally stock by the way.

Cheers

My little bro Jason did the lion’s share of the heavy lifting. He’s small enough to fit into the engine bay and muscle the exhaust manifold out after sawzalling the Y-pipes off to make it easier to remove.

Soooo.......how much do you pimp out your little brother for?

So it has been 2 full days in warm weather with fridge on the whole time. Drove the 80 only about 4 miles so not much alternator charging time but hooked up to the 100w Renogy solar panel rest of the time. Aux batter is doing great with 12.8v, it’s working exactly like how I wanted to.

The latest renogy panels are pretty trick! Even at low light dusk condition the smart charger is still showing its charging. I had it in the shade and was still putting out 20V which is full 100 watts, it’s really impressive.

Been such a long time coming, I myself can hardly believe that I am nearing end of a project on the 80.

Solar, engage!

So finally gothe right one but now after putting everything back together, my steering wheel just spins and spins and spins ( & in both directions!!!). Don't know what to do or how to fix it. Any ideas?? Anyone??

I can only guess. I think you will have to tear it back apart and make sure it is all correctly put together.

I sense some hesitation in that Jeep!

I followed the accurate directions of the folks here and replaced my busted DS exterior door handle. It could've probably gone quicker if i didn't keep dropping the screws and clips into the door...

Got the tcase back in and hooked up after getting the marlin low range reduction gears installed! Now to break it on in.

Got to checkout a nice scenic view.

Thoughts on the BPs?

 

[Scrapedknuckles]

Took a drive up to the Mojave desert east of California City.

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

Lunch in the California sun is no problem with a diesel. Just crank the AC pop the top and eat in total comfort. The temp gauge does not move.

 

[Tedward]

Drove 735 miles back home from Cape Cod with strippah fillets.

 

[plaidwagon]

Some canoe action.

Thoughts on the BPs?

Just have the fronts on now, but so far they’re pretty awesome. Although I can only compare to the Nitrocharger L’s that have been on there for years...

Waiting on LT rear lowers from @NLXTACY and then I’ll install the rears at the same time.

Finally replaced the 10 yr old s***tybilt winch for a SEAL 9.5rs and decided it deserved some new lights in the process
