What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

[ewillis]

Rick Alderson @creative_custom_finishing totally knocked my turbo valve cover out of the park. I’ve never seen something so beautiful. I had AN-10 fittings welded on and Rick did his magic. #hydrodipping and several #PPG clear coats. This thing is sooo damn sexy. I can’t wait to do more using this process. Thanks Rick!!

is the Tent Cot yours? very cool to see this piece of kit used on two different sides of the planet. I love mine from Kamp-Rite! Always a great night's sleep!

@samtoddlee No the tent cot belongs to my crazy friend Nik that drives Disco1 that use more engine oil than diesel he got his tent cot because he liked my modular set up

In the winter, it's just a bed and comfortable mattress inside my Turbotent

In the summer I use a multi session tent just as a mosquito net

And mid season when there is a lot of dew and may light rain, I put the rain cover

Just got home and it’s gonna be a long what did you do to your 80 weekend but I started by getting new hyperflex arms from superior and installing new cerullo performance custom made for this 80 seats was ready to pull for scheelman but stuck with handmade in America also will be doing entire brake overhaul factory calipers pads EBC rotors and Oem brake booster but this is for now cant upload pics from my good cameras to this site not sure why and rebuilding front and rear pinions bearings and Matt from aylestock adventures is going to help me install new OEM wiring harness in a couple weeks oh and I pulled both fr/rear nitro axles and birds going to RCV but I’m running oem for now

That sentence is 130 words counting abbreviations acronyms and contractions. Not sure if that's worse or me sitting here counting because I just had to know.

Just dropped my Land Cruiser at Camelback Toyota for @murf and the boys up there to take care of. It has a misfire and I am due for smog/registration this month. It is time to get the damn thing fixed.

They are also checking my U-joints, differentials, and changing the oil as well. Hopefully, it is nothing major and will be fixed today if not they will take care of her I know.

Here’s hyperflex and they cost same as slee or delta with oem bushings already installed got here from Australia in 6 daysand knock sensors and brake booster from Dubai arrived in 4 days that’s crazy fast

On a more serious note; where are you finding these so cheap? I am seeing the hyperflex arms at about $1500 with Slee and Delta coming in at about half the cost.

This weekend I just planned on a quick tire rotation along with adjusting the parking brake, then this happened. I guess the front knuckle service I had planned for this winter just got moved up.

I don't use the "attach files" forum function. I have my pics hosted elsewhere. I use Flickr to host my photos. I use it as an additional backup for my files as I've lost too many images over the years from crashed hard drives and thumbdrives. Now I have no less that 4 backups of everything that I don't want to lose.
I used to use Photobucket but they went stupid on image hosting/sharing so I bailed. Flickr has been a much better replacement for me. It will store the full resolution but when you want to share to a forum (for instance) you can select a resolution you want to display at. IH8MUD forces all images to a set image size regardless of size I select on Flickr. But other forums will allow for full resolution if you want to. I never post full res images since it's a bit pointless and forces most people to have to scroll up/down/side/side to view the entire image.

Thank you Im learning way too much lately, But its time.

Installing new pinion bearings carrier bearing seals etc front and rear. The guy that helped me in MOAB was nice enough but he torqued the pinion nut to whatever my made in Merida desalt could which was way past factory specs and the bearing is grooves loud and now out . Only prob is master kit for 9.5 excluded carrier bearing so now I wait

 

[surfpig]

Well. After all that, it’s not even worth mentioning but I replaced the crappy washer diverter valve. Now it’s a little bit less crappy.

You probably already know, but fixing that only takes a gasket, dust seal and bearing pack, not an entire knuckle job.

Oh yes, but I have all the parts and need to do the knuckles. Don’t want to have to tear into it twice either.
