What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (87 Viewers)

[ToyotaDon]

Took a short drive to a nearby lake to see how the baby does riding in the Cruiser.

Side note, anybody else have a hard time getting a car seat securely tightened using these ancient seatbelts? This was my first time trying in a car without the LATCH system and no matter what I tried it felt super loose. I ended up using a tiedown strap around the base and entire seat because I just didn't feel comfortable.

Like others said, you might want to try the middle. If you need to keep it on the side, be sure to use the locking clip that comes with the seat and lock the retractor by pulling the belt all the way out first. Also putting your knee in the middle of the base while pulling on the belt.

I use a Graco Snuglock and it works great in the 80: Graco Snuglock
Chico has a similar system. Not sure about Britax.

Nicely done.
Any link to the kitchen shelf?

Amazon product ASIN B00OI0VPTIIt was very tight trying squeeze them onto the brackets, but it worked. I didn't have any washers the right size, so I just zip tied it to the holes in the bracket. The shelf actually has a divider in the middle, running length wise. Bout an inch or 2 tall. Kind of annoying, but it is what it is

Drug this home January 2019. Got it running a few weeks ago. Finally got a title and plate. Crazy that something so seemingly modern is an antique to the BMV.

Made my own version of the Wit's End Rear Quarter Panel Mount. And also installed the Delta Vehicle System's grab handle bracket to go over the cargo area. With a wire basket off Amazon.

I feel like those fluids are going to leak on their sides. Especially that shell oil one with the seal broken.

FYI, I've got the 48x18 inch shelf and I feel like the 48x24 would be better and fit fine.

I made some vent bushing things

Installed an arm rest

Went camping for a night

Decided I needed a little more gas, so I made this.

@Outsane how well does that arm rest fit in your opinion? Looks like a bit of modification is needed and I assume the magnets don't work as well without bare metal like the 70 has. I'm curious if the end result is a really nice/solid fit or just ok. Rattles would be a deal breaker with those.

Love the pictures and I hope you put some very high octane fuel in that tailgate cell

I need those vent bushings. Is it for sale some where?

 

[Outsane]

@jpoole so far I have about 30 off road miles and 10 hours of driving with it. I did have to drill some holes.

I am going to add some double sided tape to hold it on. The cup holder was a good place to have the Bluetooth ham mic.

 

[BamaCruzer]

Replaced the fuel cap gasket.

 

[CYota]

Just replaced the front brake calipers with my daughter over the last couple nights . Went pretty well .

Spent the day with the family & dogs atop Oak Mountain in Alabama.

Nice work, @Outsane ! Those look a lot more legit than my solution which was to wedge some coins in at the sides of the vents.

Used ¥50 coins to keep it all JDM. Conveniently, unlike US currency options, these came predrilled from the factory.

The finished product!

 

[Outsane]

@perrobravo nice

I use these coins to hold my chalk bag on while climbing.

Found a couple of pretty awesome campsites in the Ozarks.

My 80 lives in Seattle - Pics like this make me think I should move it to my Bentonville place. Nice spot!

Pulleys, AC compressor, Landtank modified blue fan clutch, belts, vacuum pumped and recharged the AC system. She’s a whole lot happier, purring like a kitten and blowing ice cold.
