What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (109 Viewers)

[ontopofm]

Add another 100W panel so I can run the fridge at 0F all day long without draining the battery. 1 panel couldnt keep up with the ARB 63qt at 20F. With 2 panels now the fridge is running while the batteries are being charged. It put out over 8A at 9am this morning.

Hit 190k. Stooped to exercise the lockers. This is as extereme as it gets in Lubbock. I need to get out more.....

Are those FJ wheels on your 80 LockedCollector? Looks nice.

Aussie locker install using the one man technique. Wow what a difference.

Thanks. Came off my wife's '11 FJ Cruiser after she scored a new set off a 2013. Running 1.5" spacers.

Lifted her up a bit . OME springs and shocks. Supposed to be 2 1/2" - 3". Came out right at 3 1/2" because of the soft LX springs.

Repacked front bearings and replaced radiator on my '97 LX.

Installed my rh battery tray and Scangauge II and OBDII splitter so I have an open port for smog guys.

Shockervang and I went to Bowman Lake in california to do some trail riding in the snow with our new aussie locker. Excellent traction in fresh snow about 1 foot amd never had to use Diff Lock.View attachment 889600

Wow! Bowman Lake up near Truckee? Didn't think there'd be snow any more given how dry it's been this year. We ran Signal Peak which is in that area and it was pretty dry. Was the entire trail covered in snow?

Drew up a new bracket for aux fuse box mounting - the one I made with my angle grinder wasn't pretty enough.

Oh, me likey! Where are you going to mount this one? Keep me in mind if you're going to cut a 'few' of them...

Headed back out to Robert Moses state park for some beach and dune 4x4 and surf. Saw a nice 100 with clever rooftop outdoor shower plumbing - no that's not a weapon. Didn't catch if he's on Mud we were in the water most of the time. So great to be able to access these spots (abiding park rules) I normally couldn't get out to. Love my 80

 

[mtnzorro]

This guy was completely shot. East to replace thanks to Beno and Landrcruiser Phil's write up.



Seat recliner installed. Hopefully this comes in helpful for my soon to be attempted child seat installation.

Finally a little touch up paint job to my grill and popped on the new emblem from Bhicks. A little bling never hurt. Gotta use these sunny seattle weekends when i get them.

Pending projects for spring/summer include replacing the radiator and doing the oil pump seal. Hopefully some other fun ones too.

Finally installed my TJM Caster correction bushings and the new steering stabilizer. Thanks so much to Bart, Julie and Angelo (and the 20 ton press) for taking a Sunday afternoon to help a fellow Mudder. San Antonio mudders are the best.

Did the middle row seat recline mod per this thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/easy-low-no-cost-middle-row-seat-recline-mod.797215/ and went on a 2000 mile round trip to Denver. My likes to ride in the center of the middle row, with feet up on the console, to break up long drives. Just one tooth back from stock, gives that lounge chair feel.

 

[SHREG]

Added some LED powa....
