Installed my Tough Dog adjustable suspension from @TRAIL TAILOR to replace the sad clapped out 179k stock worn goods. What an improvement!! I love the adjustments. Handles like a freaking Swedish Gymnast. Can’t wait to click the adjusters back and try it on the trail. Thanks J
Meet up with another 80 and tested out lockers, hyperflex and tried to get stuck. Video will be up at 245EST if anyone is interested lots of deep water.

Aint worked on the 80 much since i picked up a family member(distant cousin) for the stable. Its beat, but getting fixed up. Going 3.25” over per side long travel 4x4, deaver f55 leaf pack and some fox triple bypasses. Its my go fast to pair up with my go slow 80.
Yea the ring and pinion were/are good the vibration stems from hyperflex arms, talked to amny fellas in AUS and they said same issue on lifted trucks. So I may either go back to superflex or delta arms.

Bout tbe same, normally, but these are chromed. Chrome holds up wayyyyyy better. Ill be doing my coilovers as well, local place quoted me 110 per shock including all the little aluminum parts. Cheap!
Ran it to charge the batteries after sitting for almost 4 months. And it seems the HG finally went.. so I couldnt take it to Turf N Surf. Luckily my buddy had a spare 80 series laying around. So I took that one. Thanks to @yodaTEQ for the Greenie!
Time to hang out with good friends and have some beer.

Headed out to the trail. Got my money’s worth out of the my front and rear Harrop Eaton lockers! My brother with an unlocked 80 on 35’s had to power through and use momentum and suffered a slight dent and a couple of scratches.
The directions that came with my fox coil overs say to wax the shock bodies periodically to keep them looking nice. They are aluminum body, not sure what you have.
Just something small this weekend. Stock running board delete. Just need to find the front mud guards until I can replace all 4 fenders and find some good sliders.

Put in the 3rd row light. Of course I swapped the wires around in the hidden plug after it was retrieved. But It only worked when the switch was on? No work when you open the hatch except for the first 8 inches of opening. FAWK, I figured it out after 20 minutes. It was a work hardened wire that runs in the body to upper hatch boot area. Did an environmental splice as my repair and VOILA, properly operating 3rd row lighting.
Next step is to buy some panel clips, plenty broken in the rear hatch
The pile of OEM parts is building, waiting for the salt to drop and put this puppy to the shop for the big deferred maintenance items from 300,000 miles!
