What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (25 Viewers)

[VIZTU1]

Added a dash ornament! A little industrial outdoor Velcro on the wheels holds it tight to the dash mat and is barely noticeable.

Also repainted the wiper arms. One turned out well (pictured). The other looks like up close (user error, rushing the paint job), so at some point I'll sand and repaint that one. But at least it's protected and won't continue to rust.

What dash cover is that?

I got it on eBay Austrailia. It's the only place I could find them for RHD trucks:

Dash Mat Grey Suit Toyota Landcruiser 80 Series 1990 TO 1995 With Extra Vent | eBay

Dash mats will not fit left hand drive vehicles. U2 / 21 BLACKLY ROW COCKBURN CENTRAL W.A. 6164.

Cutting board with a slot for the hinges? Might actually be kinda nice to keep it somewhat in place while cutting

Not a bad idea. That could be done easily with a router!
I’d do that, but the drawer system I plan on installing has a cutting board integrated already.

Did a lil jaunt up “the back way” to Crown King

Then road-tripped to LA via Wikenburg, AZ

We settled into a comfortable mid-flight cruising altitude, somewhere between AZ and Los Angeles.

Even when doing 120KPH, I've never seen my oil pressure gauge going this up.
Usually, it's in the middle or below. Is that OK?

I’m pretty sure I had a lil too much in there at that time. I topped off before the 6hr drive and went a lil heavy.

Mine usually reads exactly how yours does whether full or oil level light flickering

 

[george_tlc]

^ oil pressure shouldn't care about oil level... well, you obviously need oil in there for the oil pump to create pressure...

cheers,
george.

YOUCH.

Other stations are a dollar cheaper in town. But youch.

 

[surfpig]

Changed the oil/filter. Two years.

 

[BillyGoatMTB]

Damn Bowfin @dogfishlake makes a classic, killer roofrack

So happy with the install, fit, and finish

 

[GeoRoss]

I drive the unloved OBD1 80 series. I’m looking at you @NLXTACY

I’ve been waiting for Joey to come up with the equivalent to the useless cubby for awhile. Well, necessity is the mother of invention.

 

[HardyDanger]

Made some lemonade with VHT epoxy and 2 hours with the wire wheel, and 3m red scrubbers. Not perfect, but you know, they’re sliders.

And plugged this long overdue hole, guessing this will increase fuel economy by 2-3x.

 

[residualboulders]

I gave it a couple of months for deliberation, but the mods began this morning on my '94.

- ARB Bumper
- Warn Evo 10k lb Winch
- ARB Solis Lights
- Slee Billet Battery Terminals
- Yota Tech Tacoma Under Hood LEDs

Awning finally arrived from Aug21 order.
First chance to 'experience overlanding' with this awning/shower combo...in as much as a 'first unfurling' can allow.
Will only say thus far that:
1) unless your awning has aluminum spars, the outrigger poles like in the pic are not optional.
2) the backside of this particular awning is getting a coat of black lol
gory details:
Oz-tent Foxwing- 108sqft
23Zero Peregrine shower/changing room

Today was a good day!
UPS dropped off my WKOR sliders and I got them installed right away

I finished wiring my new relay box, hopefully tomorrow Ill get it install in the car and finish wiring my lights.

And played with Fusion360 for the first time! I really want to redo this plate properly and with better use of space
