What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (67 Viewers)

[zona]

More CO pics.
Engineer Pass is a doozy, the rig was 7,200 lbs and there were a couple sections where I Activated rear locker for insurance. 4.88’s really helped, Hugged the mountain a few times to let jheaps pass.

Last week, spent some time camping in the Rockies (I.e. telluride, Silverton, wolf creek, purgatory, Ouray).
Last dollar Pass from telluride to Ridgway.
Engineer Pass from Silverton to Lake City.
hot springs in Orvis (note:a lot of old people going commando there...when in Rome...)
ice cream in Ouray
The drive to Creede was amazing, San Cristobal Lake is beautiful. Creede is eh. Pagosa Springs is overrated.
Beer at The Nugget in Purgatory is underrated.

Ran into @Zantier on Animas Fork, that’s was a highlight to see an 80 after all those jheaps and side-by-sides.

The key to camping in CO is...if you see 5th wheels and Subaru’s you haven’t gone far enough in.

Nice! Headed that direction now! On the way from Ohio via a southern route. Camped in Arkansas last night. I unfortunately have a Heep tagging along. Lol

The black paint on my hood was fading and needed to be redone. I decided to try vinyl. Pulled the scoop and wrapped that separately. Turned out ok for not being experienced doing any vinyl wrapping.

what

Had a super nice 4th all to ourselves, well except for the dear and this fox! One of the deer that had three fawns chased this fox into our camp!
On the other hand, I must admit having a hot shower when camping is worth it!

I thought that was poem...spent ages trying to make it rhyme

Onto non suspension stuff now...


been working on a none glue down one side foil heat shield like a cow


I chose to go with Cool-it Thermo Guard FR product, much cheaper then Dynamat somehow.


48x72" I cut the 72" in half so it folded over the trans cover perfect, and the install went better than expected, wow


The only issues I had was installation of the front seats cuz the holes didnt line up so good causing me to furrow my brow.​

There, I fixed it for you

I just got my 80 a few weeks ago. And for some stupid ass reason I just bought a backup. Actually going to keep the white one and maybe sell the moon glow.
For now it’s awesome to have a pair!

 

[DJCloz]

@Brav depending on what you paid, seems like a smart move to me. The 80 market is hot right now!

Nice wheels Bob, glad to see your getting a chance to use them

very true. Lots of dogs out there. Both of these are quite nice with very good interiors. each just need minor things to make them great.
