Installed a new battery with my son and let him drive me around to run errands. He inherits the 80 in about 3 months.

I like this. I have been thinking of something similar, but have yet to attack it. What kind of hinges are those? Do they lock both in the up and down positions?
My brother in law gave it to me for Christmas. 0.1 banana job.

Lolz! Thanks friend, yeah its an oreilly antenna replacement thing, not a real .50 cal round! I get funny looks all the time, but it doesn't bother me any. I get compliments on the truck also, so its nice to know that people appreciate it.
P.s. my dogs name is 'Merica, haha. Had to do it.
☺
Got the motor out
Nice truck. Assuming an American market truck, where did you get the headlight setup? I’ve thought about doing that and replacing with LED’s...
@TRAIL TAILOR made the rack. @cruisermatt did the mod for the KC lights. Lights are halogen and quite a narrow beam so hood glare isn't really bad but it's happening.
It's a 4x4labs one. I did the kit version and welded it myself to save some money (and I like projects.)
Was a bit more work than I had anticipated (cutting the exhaust, sourcing extra lugnuts, and a few other "oh yeah" moments) but super happy with it and it's held up great so far. Only downside is I get a bit of a rattle on bumpy roads, currently I solve that but sticking a piece of cardboard at the strike plate and that takes care of it, but I think some adhesive backed rubber will be my long term fix. Seems to be a common thing with them based on searches I've done here.
They look great but if you plan to wheel seriously, I'd get a set of sliders. If you come down hard on rock it will bend up your running boards like paper. If it also bends your rocker panel, (the strip of metal under your doors), you might not be able to open and close your doors. If you are already aware of this, please disregard my reply. Just trying to help out a fellow mudder.
Left Atlanta to chase the little bit of snow we got in the mountains to the north. We had a great time.
Back from paint and body. Yes you recognize the color from our 200 and 100 little brothers-4R3. Original 4k1.
Swapped out the diy rack for a tundra Frontrunner with Gamiviti mounts.
Making some tie down points, you can pick your color and the washer is integrated.

Very nice! And love the hood ornament!
Stay safe and thank you!
Thanks. Reached out to ARB and looks like the changed the design slightly a couple hrs ago to not interfere with the antenna.
