Upgrades are coming.
After three years without an 80, bought one! Will get pics once I receive it from the shipper. I've got some plans, but I am only going light mods on this one.
Replaced alternator with a rebuilt Denso from Rock Auto. Oil change/fluid top-off and a quick drive from Mississippi to Grand Junction, Colorado. And, wife had the truck monstalined as a birthday surprise. So, slow weekend.
Fuel filter. Assuming it was original..
Next job will be my first real 80 series right of passage - knuckle rebuild

Knuckles were my right of passage, too. Not that bad. Same as anything else: follow the steps, step-by-step, and mentally prepare yourself for a stuck bolt (or cone washer) or two.
Yep, already making a list 
not currently having any “issues,” just needs refreshing

Started the weekend off with a couple hours in Hollister, in between covid self-quarantines for kids possible exposure at school. Another weekend at home.

Saw this for sale by the side of the road so bought it.
1FZ, H151, 393,000 km. Usual oil slick on the undercarriage but seems fairly solid. I really don't need another project right now buuuut...can't pass a cruiser for sale.

Should I paint my new fan shroud black or leave bare?

I got the idea from you actually for the cobra.
More info on the aluminum radiator and the shroud, please.
You are barking up the wrong tree unless you have a Chevy V8 engine in your 80....
The radiator is a 4 core off of eBay. The fan kit is from Derale. I am uncertain if all this will work though. I've not tested it.

Questioning my life choices...
Had a blast wheeling with the guys from Appalachia Cruisers at Windrock where I met some of the guys participating in the 6th Annual 70 Series run. I should obtain a boat license given all the water we dealt with yesterday. had a chance to assist with a knuckle stud shear situation (good reminder to check your nuts and carry an extra set). Kissed a boulder with my rear OEM Fender corner but only scuffed it a bit. Learned the reason for IH8MUD first hand.

So nice! Something happened in my brain last month and I got the idea that once the kids are a little older the 80 should be chopped into a single cab ute. Maybe by Ken?!
