What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

[CycloSteve]

Installed a set of bump-stop spacers from Hitit66 on all four corners of the 80...hoping to reduce the tire rubbing a wee bit.

Heading up to Valley Hybrids to check out the 45 tomorrow...been a few months; need to drop off my donor half-doors, and pick up/deliver my wheels from the powder coater.

This last holiday week, I added 5 - 12v sockets in the cruiser and a CB.

One added in the back:


Two behind the arm rest:


Two in the front console by the shifter (one directly ahead of shifter that's hard to see):


I was going to make some of the 12v sockets USB ports instead, but instead found these great 2x 4.2a plugs at Monoprice. I have 4 in the Cruiser and each will charge 2 iPads. I figured I wouldn't limit myself to USB only charging with this method.

SoCalFrank's antenna mount and Firestik antenna:


And a Uniden CB under the aftermarket stereo (I'll finish it up once I have the antenna SWR tuned):

Not the weekend but I'm off work. I drove 625 miles today in route to Redding, Ca from my house in Hanford to drop my nieces and nephew off with their dad to head back up to Washington (he's looking for a cruiser in the Tacoma area by the way). Then back down to Livermore so my wife could do some shopping at the outlets and now I'm in Manteca catching up with some family. Getting 14.5 MPG so far on some 275 Geolanders. Heading back tomorrow. USPS tells me I have parts waiting for me. Here's a pic of all the kids on top of the truck.

While out searching for a guy over the last two day I got to flex a bit...

Investigation today revealed he decided to skip out on his GF and run to NV... Two days spent driving around in the woods for nothing! But found some new trails out of it

Added a cheapie boss amp under the passenger seat and small shallow mount base box behind the second row seat. Not too bad but need some tuning.

 

[englaneato]

Put a 2.5" tjm kit on englaneato's rig with him. Now he just needs those sliders and skid plate....

I also snorkled and and added an ems intake pipe this week. Had a local shop install the castor correction. Drives great feels like a 4 inch lift it was sagging so bad before. Installed new hood lift springs in about 15 mins yesterday before work. Pics to come.

 

[lockedLC]

Driving Cruiser for first time since doing a rebuild. Rebuilt engine all the way down to the crank...had to take it to shop to finalize the timing. Drives great...added a 3" OME while engine was out and now just need to add some weight to it to smooth the ride but it feels like I added 5 inches because of the sagging before.

Drove from Grande Prairie to Chiliwack during a snow storm. Could actually pass people for once because they were all going 50 had my new Cruisin' Off road bumper w/ 9k warn winch installed.
When I get home I'll add my slee interior winch control.

Took a chance and went snowmobiling in sub sub zero temps...On the way back the upper radiator hose blew off the radiator flange. I think the flange broke off a bit but there was enough to get the hose back on and then a friend brought some coolant. When it's this cold breaking down can kill you...Make sure you all are prepared if you are out in temps like this.

Are those factory tabs on the bar to attach limb riser wires?
